AceShowbiz - Ben Affleck has admitted to a "slip" in his sobriety but has vowed not to let it "derail" his progress.
Over the weekend (October 26-27), the "Justice League" star sparked concern after he was reportedly seen stumbling outside of a Halloween party in California.
On Sunday afternoon, he addressed the situation after he was seen arriving at ex-wife Jennifer Garner's house in the Pacific Palisades just hours after his night out in Hollywood.
"It happens. It was a slip. But I'm not going to let it derail me," Affleck said in footage obtained by TMZ before entering Garner's home.
His comments come after the "Gone Girl" actor was waiting for a ride outside the UNICEF Masquerade Ball at La Peer Hotel in West Hollywood, and in further footage Affleck is reportedly seen catching himself on a vehicle when he stumbles backwards while walking. The actor is then seen getting into the back seat of a truck.
"You could tell that it wasn't an easy thing for him, but Ben owned his mistake," a source told People magazine. "He said it happens, that he slipped up but that it won't happen again. It was a smart move because now the story is basically over."
The "Good Will Hunting" star completed a 40-day residential treatment programme in 2018 after a very public relapse.
