"When I die, as far as my so-called accomplishments go, it would be nice if Friends were listed far behind the things I did to help other people. I know it won't happen, but it would be nice" RIP Matt Perry, funder of sober-living and addiction support services, and addiction awareness campaigner

Thank you for this. It's important.

Imagine not only fighting your own battles, but also having the strength and empathy to use the lessons learnt to help others. He'll be well remembered by those he helped.

Many know him from Friends, I know him from Fallout. I need to look up more of his accomplishments.

The dude used to say that while he didn't regret doing Friends for a second, he could barely watch himself in it. Too painful. Said that his proudest moments were when people approached him at airports and said that they'd sought addiction help because he'd been so open about his.

Addiction goes into remission when you help other addicts. This is extremely respectable. If people bring him up, I am going to tell them this after I go get a little more info.
