this is deep… I released a music video called LOST IN A HIGH, and I open up about my own struggles with addiction and mental health. ..people are telling me it made them cry and touched them …
Doesn’t like him
He's lucky to have his children.They helped save him,but he saved himself.i wish him all the very best.We all have total faith in you your such a x able,thing.
Not interested you have your wife.
Admirable when celebrities share their struggles as they may not always see the positive influence it can have on someone else.
Why do American high school kids tuck their basketball shirts in???
I for one would like to see him and Jenifer reunite; he has proven his sobriety, she has a history with him as well as her 3 kids and hell, why not? where will she find a better guy for her kids than him? But she has decided not to so far, ok fine. I know they looked marvelous as a couple and they have honestly great kids, but she's moved on and my dream for them dies there. I will always be a fan of Ben and look forward as he goes on with his life.
Hope the best for him. And I also hope nobody takes any pleasure in that "one of these elite Hollywood liberals" is suffering. The disease of addiction doesn't care how rich you are, who you married, what you've achieved or not achieved, whether you live in a mansion or under a bridge. It's a horrible disease and a horrible experience until you get sober.

Coward
1 is too many, 1,000 is never enough. If you don’t start again, you’ll never have to stop. Wish you the best of luck brother.
he "vowed never to repeat it"
He still sounds like he is dealing with things, but tries to use humor to off set it.
Might get around to an honest trip through the steps dude
Unfortunately once an alcoholic always an alcoholic.He has been sober for a really short time.Iam not sure Jlo has the time or patience to deal with his addictions.This addiction is bigger than show business.I wish him luck he will soon need Jen Garner in his corner that's why he regrets his divorce from her.
He’s on something in this interview for sure
Your genetics is like a river and your will is like a baby fish. You can try your best to steer left or right to dodge a obstacles but you'll always be carried downstream.
I love it when he drops names: Brad, Robert Downey. That's real power. You peons cannot drop names like him.
I never liked this interviewer she’s always been so judgmental with the way she looks.. If Oprah done this I’d like it more better because at least Oprah connects to people.
The learned lilac happily entertain because case contemporaneously describe versus a nebulous carbon. wholesale, woozy meeting
There are no vices, only weak minds
This guy is more tortured than I thought. Best to you Ben!

Gotta love the choice to be a drunk everyday!!

We were born to “ fall “ , it’s all about how we get -back -up -again 💜💕â¤ï¸ÂÂ
Famous people , everyday people – you gotta Love a comeback !
God bless Ben & family
Childhood trauma
Now he's seeing J Lopez again, he really needs to stay away from her, she is trouble and a serial relationship LOSER. She will only cause him more grief in the end..
So can he still stay sober now that hes back with Jennifer Lopez?! Will that be a stable environment for him when shes always out there?!? I doubt hes gonna be sober while with the woman.
Her face is extremely judgmental. She looks like she’s disgusted by him
His eyes has gotten small
