It was so hard reading this book after his passing because he was trying so hard to stay sober. Speaking as an addict who has been on and off different substances for years. I’ve been sober 7 months (this time) but it wouldn’t take a lot for me to jump straight back into it. Mathew spoke candidly about his addictions and the absolute daily struggle it is, no matter how much support, treatment or in his case, money you have! There’s nothing that can stop an addict other than themselves. He spoke about using ketamine for the first time, which is what I think his cause of death was and it’s just heartbreaking that it happened to someone who was trying so hard. There’s no conspiracy. He may have done it on purpose but only he could tell us that. I hope he’s finally found some peace because the life an addict is chaotic as fuck!! Which I also believe to be part of the addiction itself. Life is so boring when you’re sober and used to being high or drunk all the time. Nothing compares!

I am so grateful for Mathew Perry. In my opinion his comparison between a person having one drink and "feeling a little wonky" and how for him that one drink would reset his world to normalcy is the best description I've heard about alcohol use disorder. I am 14 months sober and honestly, the best addiction medicine is hearing a person who struggled similarly to me share their story. I struggled for 30 years with drinking and/or smoking MJ and inside of it there is so much shame and regret over not being able to stop even knowing that you are hurting yourself and people you love and whom love you....and there is so much judgement pointed towards those of us with genetic markers of addiction, PTSD, mental health differences, and folks suffering from racism and social injustices. I plan on reading and putting Mathew Perry's book and this interview in my sobriety tool kit.

congrats. but you made one large error. equating pot to drinking. thats apples to oranges. alcoholism and opiate addiction are the worse two addictions, period, with a strong argument that alcohol is much worse. You cant reason with a drunk and if reason is not in the room, well, nothing else is. But pot, jesus, you could smoke an ounce a day with little to no effect on your life except if you choose to use it an an excuse. You really should be careful about leading the unknowing on to dangers in life, pot aint one of them. This is coming from someone who has been addicted to everything at some point in life, EXCEPT alcohol, thank god. And alcohol is legal, imagine that.

They are anything but the same and the addiction qualities and actions so much different from each other. Quit talking about something you clearly have no clue about except through "reading".

Addiction isn't a personality flaw. It's not something that "bad" people deal with. Addiction stems from feelings of loneliness, and emptiness, and of being unloved and unlovable. Yes, addictions can bring out the worst in people, make them do terrible things, but in general they aren't bad people at all. They're just hurting and they need help.

He sounds really good here. I've seen interviews of him before that made me worry for him, but his voice, his mannerisms, his confidence all here sounds like he's in a much better place

He said in another interview that when he was doing the friends reunion he had just had some kind of dental emergency surgery and his mouth was burning when he was talking, but he might’ve sounded like that in other interviews as well I’m not 100% sure.

I've been binging Friends and as much as I love the show, it hurts to watch him struggle. You can see it in his eyes, body, and speech. I'm glad he's doing something with this, and I hope it helps others.

❤ I always admire it when people in the public eye talk openly about their addiction battle. I’m an alcoholic who has been sober for 16months 🎊 🎉. Hearing him talk about it helps me remember I’m not alone. It also feels good to be able to admit my own battle so that I might help another to not feel alone. I’m thrilled to have my life back; it’s not been easy, but it’s so much easier than my life as an active drunk. My one wish, like most, is that I got help sooner…so if you think you might have a problem, (or if you know that you do), then please reach out to a rehab and/or a 12 step group. Stick with it, because the program works if you work it. I hope everyone who reads this has an exceptionally blessed day! Remember you are loved, and you are worthy❤❤❤

I read the book. If by any chance Matthew Perry sees this, please get an ADHD assesment. I read the book and found soo many likenesses with you. I never had the drugs but a lot of different ways. The anxiety, depression and so on. Everything is spot on. Please, please go check that out.

Having observed the ruthlessness of Hollywood and everything attached to that, I realize even more how incredibly strong Matthew Perry is, by sharing his story to the world. I know he is helping people by telling about both the highs and the lows, about the joy but most certainly the pain. I might be a hopeless dreamer, but I consider this all worthwhile if even just ONE person finds the strength to take on his or her addiction because of Perry’s experiences!!

Matthew, if there's any way you see this, you're a hero to me. I have a loved one who has struggled so so many years and still does. The suffering is so huge. I read an article about you years ago before another relapse and thought of contacting you for help. Very glad you are doing better, took so much courage. You're helping countless people. Praying for you now.

I think it’s important for these kind of conversations and information, for people struggling with addictions to acknowledge their problems and to know that they are not alone, and also for their friends and families to understand the “reality” of people with addictions are experiencing. Glad he’s doing well.

Seeing things like this are really powerful and I'm really happy more and more folks are comfortable and trusting enough to share this deeply personal information with us. It's about damn time we stop criminalizing people for just wanting to feel good and it's time we start realizing this is our one life and it should be lived feeling great and being close to the people we care about as much as we can.

I’m always down for funny people being open and honest about addiction. It gets easier to openly admit the more often you tell your story and the more people willing to ask good questions.
