Ben Affleck’s recovery slip over the weekend reportedly has his ex, Jennifer Garner, concerned, but it won’t stop her from being part of his support system. That’s according to Us Weekly, whose sources say Jen will continue to stay by Ben’s side as he works on what he knows will likely be a lifelong commitment to sobriety. The slip happened Saturday as the actor was spotted stumbling outside a Halloween party in the West Hollywood section of Los Angeles. The next, day, he reportedly went to Jen’s home, presumably to talk about what happened. “It was never as if this was simply behind him,” a friend said of Ben’s struggle with alcoholism. He has since told TMZ he won’t let the slip “derail” him. A source also told Us Ben visited with his sober coach the day after the incident.
