Matthew Perry fought addiction and came back with a memoir for the world to know!
The innate sarcasm, the man with a weird job and a wife he loved – Chandler Bing was a character that everyone adored. He made bro code a real thing and his friendship with Joey Tribbiani was real stuff. However, in real life, Matthew Perry playing Chandler was fighting addiction and almost escaped death!

Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing

Matthew has a memoir titled Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing ready to hit the racks on 9th November. His honest interview with People Magazine not only was an eye-opener for many. But also a source of inspiration for those who are still battling their addictions.
Matthew told the publication “I wanted to share when I was safe from going into the dark side of everything again,” he tells PEOPLE exclusively in this week’s cover story. “I had to wait until I was pretty safely sober — and away from the active disease of alcoholism and addiction — to write it all down. And the main thing was, I was pretty certain that it would help people.”
