Matthew Perry achieved global fame and career success, bringing joy to audiences around the world. Off-screen, however, he lived with the pain that comes with the disease of addiction.
While starring for 10 seasons in 'Friends,' one of the most popular sitcoms of all time, Perry was trying to overcome his drug and alcohol abuse. He revealed in his 2022 autobiography, 'Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir,' that he attended 6,000 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and entered rehab 15 times.Perry wrote of the loneliness he experienced during his cycles of substance abuse and recovery and worked hard to help others doing the same.
'I married Monica and got driven back to the treatment center — at the height of my highest point in 'Friends,' the highest point in my career, the iconic moment on the iconic show — in a pickup truck helmed by a sober technician,' Perry wrote.Perry spent two and a half months in rehab, finished filming 'Serving Sara' and returned to the set of 'Friends.' He said he was focused at the time on getting better.
