Matthew Perry \u0022didn\u0027t know how to stop\u0022 drinking at the height of his fame.
The 53-year-old actor starred as Chandler Bing on the NBC sitcom Friends alongside Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, and Courteney Cox from 1994 until 2004 but explained that while he had achieved moments of sobriety in the show’s heyday, there were times that his alcoholism just got “worse.”Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Calgary SUN, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.
“I didn’t know how to stop. If the police came over to my house and said, ‘If you drink tonight, we’re going to take you to jail,’ I’d start packing. I couldn’t stop because the disease and the addiction is progressive. So it gets worse and worse as you grow older.
He said: “The doctors told my family that I had a two per cent chance to live. The next time you think about taking OxyContin, just think about having a colostomy bag for the rest of your life. And a little window opened and I crawled through it and I no longer want OxyContin anymore. “There were five people put on an ECMO machine that night and the other four died and I survived. So the big question is why? Why was I the one? There has to be some kind of reason.”
Matthew – who achieved sobriety some years ago – has now opened up about his addiction struggles in new memoirand claimed that readers will be “surprised” at just how “bad” his struggles have been and how close he came to death.: “I think they’ll be surprised at how bad it got at certain times and how close to dying I came. I say in the book that if I did die, it would shock people, but it wouldn’t surprise anybody. And that’s a very scary thing to be living with.
