The question is, will it happen?

Ben Affleck is being encouraged by his close pals to check back into rehab, In Touch reports. Those closest to him believe he has been relapsing for months, and he needs to stay in treatment for an extended period of time, not the mere 30 days.

"[Ben's] drinking has gotten worse. He’s spiraling out of control. People are urging him to go into inpatient rehab," a source dished to the mag.

"The problem is that he wants to go on his terms. He wants to do it on his time, but like most addicts, that time keeps getting put off. This relapse has gone on too long already. When he does [get help], he takes the treatment very seriously and listens to all of the staff’s advice. This is a disease and he wants nothing more than to be present for his family and his girlfriend,” the source added.

The Batman star's new girlfriend Lindsay Shookus, however, isn't making things any easier, as she often drinks around him. "Lindsay may not know it, but she’s enabling him," the insider revealed.

Jen Garner must be relieved this isn't her problem anymore!
