When you realized that you’re a spiritual being, you’re more than your physical body and when you have had enough of a certain experience, e.g alcohol / drug, then you can let it go because your mind is much more powerful than your physical body! I started drinking when I was 18, I remember there were times when I was drunk 3 times a week with all the vomiting memory and bruises on my body which I didn’t even recall. One day I learnt that how the evil spirits can take over your soul when you’re drunk, I no longer let that happen. Overnight decision to stop drinking, and it’s been 2 year haven’t had any.
Our relationships with our parents or lack thereof shape the entirety of our relationships until we spot the pattern and actively work on it.
We love you Matty Perry ❤❤❤❤
I lived to watch Friends and one day years later my daughter was hooked on it. I had a massive crush on Chandler and I noticed him getting sick and wondered for a while what it could be until it made public news that he was battling addiction.
My God , the bowel perforation 😳
As a nurse I know how close he came to the other side. Wow.
I still care about the cast and Google them occasionally as it is reminiscent of my youth and working in the city. I wish nothing but the best for him. Grateful that he shares about his depression and anxiety that drove him to self medicate and abuse drugs and alcohol.
This helps so many people that I doubt he can fathom. ❤
There’s no more lonely feeling than feeling that you are the only one who feels a certain way. Sharing helps us all. ❤
I hope he’s ok but he sounds like he’s drunk. He’s slurring.
Boo FUCKING hoo….it's never his fault he became an addict, right?
Congrats for the mountains you've conquered!
A cliche Hollywood ending.
I hope he finds someone it's never too late
when you are an addict, you are usually an addict of many things. Not unusual to have insecurities and relationships struggles. Its all part for the parcel
I'm here🥰🥰🥰🥰
He's definitely on something during this interview.
Should have called his book "Washed Up".
Perry, hold yourself together man… I still remember you having your own show before the rest of them. You still have it in you… You six are always my family .. always… Even when I still working things out with Jenn…. I am here anytime you need a person….. That includes schwimmer…… All six of you have what it takes. Don't shy down now….
Good day my friend…
Poor celebs. Cry me a river.
This guy had to say he made out with Bertenelli after her ex hubby passed away.
Hope he feels better now.
Dude is almost as messed up as Jan Michael Vincent was from all the drugs and alcohol he too abused.
God blessing him.
This is so important to hear. Anyone who lives with addiction can totally identify the constant struggle to live, hide your habit afraid if anyone knows they will leave. Thinking your ok then go and use again.
all yall wanna be rich and famous, but you don't wanna be internally at peace with yourself lol
Don't give up….that song is so beautiful and the message is so powerful. Don't give up, you have people who love you and you can start again and have a wonderful, beautiful life. That part of the interview touched my soul and got me in the gut because I have had to force myself to admit that they're people who love me. And I am so happy that Matthew has that. He was never alone during those 5 months in the hospital.. He has so many people who love him, including his mom and dad. And his stepparents who were parents, giving him love and support. Matthew is a beautiful, strong man and I'm happy he's with us. Thank YOU, GOD that we still have Matthew. God bless.
I don’t get it… clearly he needs the money
So sad living a dream
Hang on Matthew Perry. You have made it one day at a time.
Matthew Perry my favorite movie is Fools Rush in with Salma Hayek 🥰🥰
My dear Mr Perry…please know the ultimate Friend , Who is there waiting for you is Jesus who died for all our sins and resurrected so whoever believes will have eternal life…May you take hope In Him…
Dude your 53, forget the family.
thanks for the interview…don't need to buy or read the book now
Um, he WAS NOT sober in that friends reunion interview. The fact that he is blaming his "dental work" is hogwash. He forgot to mention the prescription he got after it. Go back and watch it. It was not just "speech", it was complete cognitive impairment. Stop worshipping these celebrities. It's too bad he's still in denial and no way he is 100 percent sober here. Puts his parents on a throne, and the list goes on. You couldn't pay me to buy his book.
It’s amazing he has such supportive friends and people in his life. Wish I had friends.
…………….nobody gives a goddamn about Perry.
I love this man.
Maybe the dental surgery is why he's talking so funny.
I had no idea! ❤️
Matthew, Matthew, Matthew. Sounds like you are inebriated in this interview. Just my humble opinion.
Prayers to you. I hope things will settle in your life.
I'm just relieved he didn't go to Oprah for the interview.
He is so genuine. I wish him all the happiness in the world.
Matthew Perry, you definitely matter! We see you and we hear you! You are enough ❤️❤️❤️
Matthew's a Kate Bush fan? I knew I liked him for a reason other than his acting talents and dry Canadian humour. Hope you're doing well Mr Perry. Keep on keeping on.
We wish him to find a good woman with a huge heart and have a family.
I think he drank a little before this interview. Ya guy needs help, just needs to focus on himself and take a break from the world
I’m worried about him. But I wish him the best and respect him for doing this interview
