    Any recovering addict that's happy, healthy and no longer shaming themselves for their nature is a big win. Well done Matthew.

    He is speaking and looking wayyyyy better than he did at the Friends reunion and even the interview he did. Great for him!

    He did not disappear after Friends, like some people are saying. He has probably been the most active of all six cast members since the show ended. Studio 60, Mr. Sunshine, Go On, and The Odd Couple are shows he starred in since Friends. None of them lasted more than a season or two, but he's stayed busy and working while going through his personal hell.

    This is such an important message. Addiction doesn’t discriminate. Neither does cancer. High time we destigmatise the former and support recovery as we do from the latter. ❤

    "Oh, he's rich. He's selling a book. Why should we feel sorry for him?" He's not asking anyone to feel sorry for him, and nobody is being forced to buy his book. He's sharing a powerful story of recovery, which will hopefully inspire others. You don't always have to find the negative and cynical in everything.

    Can express how amazing it is that Matthew is alive and sober and willing to humble himself to help others. If you are someone with intimate experience with alcoholism and addiction then you get it . Boy do I love this guy!

    I always loved Matthew Perry. He reminded me of one of my first boyfriends in middle school. It was before he was famous and he did a few movies. I hope he has really great people surrounding him that truly love him and continue to help him. Sending him love and support!

    He deserved more than 5 minutes. GMA out here giving people like the Kardashians more time than they did Matthew Perry is sort of an insightful window into today’s world.
