Finally finished his book. His life is so miserable

I appreciate the honesty. You dont see actors tell such intimate details of their life. It was good book. But Gosh it was so exhausting from the middle.

At first he tells how he was born, raised, how he came to Hollywood, how he got into Friends. It was very interesting. But as his life was going - he was getting more and more into drugs and health problems. And eventually everything become about drugs and drinks. In the smallest details he tells how much and when he took drugs, got to rehab, became sober, then again start using. Its was so exhausting that at the end I was just skipping it till the finish.

Its truly amazing how person can be so lucky to get into famous tv show and become so rich and be so miserable at the same time. And he wont stop using. He will stay sober for some time and will use again like he does his whole life. He is lost soul. All his rehabs failed because he didnt want to stop.

At some point addicts have enough and just stop. They take seriously their sobriety and work on themselves. Matthew Perry goes to rehab only because he feels physically bad and uses too much. Gets sober for few months, feels better physically then starts using again. Eventually his health declined so much that he cant use anymore but probably still will. Its very stupid. And he blames it on addiction as if he is sick and has no control over it. But in reality he just doesnt want to stop.

And he was in Friends for 10 years. But he barely talks about it in book. Usually he just mentions that he was in Friends. There is no stories from set and stuff like that. He spend more time explaining how he could not get into it because he was assigned to another show then he talks about making Friends.

And he keeps talking how he dumped all his girlfriends. Because he thought he wasnt good enough for them or something. And honestly - thank God. All those women are lucky that they didnt end up in joyless marriage with this addict. Because all of them got chance to marry other people and have children. And not sit with high and drunk husband who goes in and out of rehab every year.
