Duggar, 28, the eldest child in the "19 Kids and Counting"
reality TV show canceled in 2015, will continue to get
counseling at home while he rebuilds relationships with his
family, the Duggar family said in a statement on its website on
Thursday.
"We look to God for help and guidance and place all of our trust
in Him. We are forever grateful for the love and prayers offered
by so many and hope you will continue to pray in the days
ahead," the family said.
Duggar checked into rehab in August 2015 after reports that he
was a subscriber to the hacked Ashley Madison affair website.
Hackers in August dumped million of email addresses for
customers of Ashley Madison, whose tagline is "Life is short.
Have an affair."
Duggar, who is married with four children and who formerly
worked for the Christian lobbying group Family Research Council,
said in August he was "the biggest hypocrite ever."
"The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting
against immorality in our country I was hiding my own personal
failures," said Duggar, just before entering rehab.
Three months earlier the Duggar family acknowledged that Josh
had molested four of his sisters when he was a teenager and the
TLC cable network canceled the long-running "19 Kids and
Counting" show about the Duggar clan.
Duggar has resigned from his job at the Family Research Council.
