"Walking miracle" is so, so right and accurate. How could anyone not be touched by his story? Life and death struggles, overcoming addiction, and more "second chances" given to him for a new, better beginning. Kudos to you, Matthew!

[@KendrasTarot]

Rest in Mathew Perry. You know he had so many projects ahead. And he was so happy about tdumb. And I wonder where he was such a good place for a few years now. I wonder if he hattain those projects. And maybe possibly had went back to his old ways. And maybe that's why God took him now. Where he wasn't the best place. And he's done so good giving up his home for a treatment center, helping many, many people. In the way he talks, he's just so all about aand I'm a recovering addict, alcoholic myself and just hearing him and hearing a story it's crazy. I resonate 100% with him and and I am sure to get his memoir because I had no idea. He even had a memoir and has even been a year since you written it, which is even more crazier. You're such a lovely man and back in friends. He was honestly. I believe the main character. Of the show 100 %, I love you Matthew Perry. God bless you and god love you

[@cindyprimus77]

He was so charming, funny & kind 😭♥️

[@teenamaree5660]

Drunks in the throes of alcoholism can be quite funny and charming. I once went on a 12 step call with a couple of A.A. members. I was less than a year sober and they were a few years farther along. Anyhow...The person we went to 12 step was a business woman who was a periodic drinker....which meant that she'd stay sober like 6 months or so, but would always end up on a binge again. During that house call, or 12 step call, she offered this as an explanation for her inability to maintain consistent sobriety...."I just don't know what to do with all this money I've got!". In my book, 'The Barbed Wire Fence' by Tina Peters, I share how I became friendly acquainted with that woman and what happened the night she invited me to her home.

I audibled the book as soon as it came out loved it sad he gone now he will be missed

[@michelemckinney5360]

I just wanted to say that I know Matthew Perry had a dental procedure that I have also had. It is called all on 4 dentures. First, they pull all your teeth. Then, they literally drill into your jaw and place screws in there that are going to hold the permanent teeth in after you heal. Sometimes, with people like me you need to have more implants to hold them in properly. They don't come out so they have to be supported well. Matthew Perry was telling the truth when he said he had a dental procedure. He had not relapsed. I don't know how he made it to that interview because it is so painful. For me, it took 3 surgeries and one of them was so painful that I cried. I was in no shape to be anywhere but in bed. He had been telling the truth, but unfortunately, because of his past people assumed the worst. I will miss him so much. He was so talented, and I am beyond devastated that he has gone home. This is a huge loss for the world. Whether or not he knew it, he made a huge impact here and changed a lot of lives. I love you Matt. I will see you on the other side when it is my turn. ❤❤❤
