WITH LOVE –
July 5, 2023 – Fans had been quick to criticise her, posting comments like, ‘Why not respect your husband’s sobriety?’
Her husband Ben Affleck, 50, has been candid about his struggles with alcoholism.
In a 2020 New York Times interview, he shared: “It took me a long time to fundamentally, deeply, without a hint of doubt, admit to myself that I am an alcoholic … The next drink will not be different.”
Affleck is sober, but seemingly, Lopez is not.
“Going sober can be really difficult, especially if your partner drinks. There may be aspects of your drinking which they enjoy, so it’s quite common for people close to you, to say things which make it harder to go sober,” says Dr David McLaughlan, a visiting consultant psychiatrist for the Priory.
So, how can you do it if your partner isn’t so keen?
Consider what you will gain.
