Neel Bhatt, a film and TV blogger at Neel’s Reel Deel, noted: “Matthew Perry portrayed one of the most well-known characters of all time but also helped others. He used his celebrity status to lobby Congress for more drug court funding and opened a rehab centre at his former mansion. What a remarkable legacy to leave behind.”

On Nov. 1 2022, Perry released his memoir “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,” in which he discussed his time on “Friends” and his long struggle with alcohol and drug addiction.
In an Instagram post promoting the book, Perry indicated: “So much has been written about me in the past. I thought it was time people heard from me. The highs were high, the lows were low. But I have lived to tell the tale, even though at times it looked like I wouldn’t. And it’s all in here. I apologize it’s not a pop up book.”
He admitted at one extremely low point, he was taking 55 Vicodin pills a day, weighing a scant 128 pounds.
He explained he did 15 rehab stints and underwent 14 surgeries for addiction-related medical issues.
He told the New York Times in October 2022 he had been sober since early 2021.
