[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel really sad when I see the tributes to him. They are mostly of long ago anecdotes and acknowledgment that they had lost touch over the years. I guess he introduced Jonathan Silverman and his wife.  They used to text him on their anniversary to thank him. He would write back, best thing I ever did, or something like that. Gag, what self centered people. I know it’s hard to love an addict and no one deserves to be treated poorly by him. But knowing how lonely he was, [b]it just feels really obnoxious to text him about their happiness[/b] when he was probably dealing with a lot some of those years. It’s like everyone else grew up, I’m sure some of these people did drugs with him. But he just continued on and ended up so lonely. Really sad. [/quote]

hmm, I see it differently. I'd be delighted to be remembered for such an important part in another person's life, and grateful they thought of me that way.  [/quote]

He hid his addiction for years so pretty sure no one knew how lonely he was but it part it was his own fault. He brought his loneliness on himself. No one wants to be around an addict and someone drifting in and out of consciousness because they are so high on their drugs.

You are so ignorant. He was prescribed drugs by his doctor for an accident; unfortunately, he quickly became addicted. Those same pills sit unused on my shelf following a surgery because I simply cannot tolerate them. I could easily sell them on the street to someone who would pay their last dollar for something that I couldn’t stomach more than one, simply because that’s genetically, biologically, physiologically how the chips fell for us.

There is a winner of “Survivior” who was in his early 20s when he won the game. He had never had alcohol until the post-ceremony victory party that night. He became addicted to alcohol that night, and very nearly died over many years of heavy drinking. To think that entire cast likely toasted with the same few bottles of champagne. The same champagne that you or I use to celebrate milestones is the very thing that almost destroyed this man. Again, simply because that’s genetically, biologically, physiologically how the chips fell.

Stop with the blame. It doesn’t help. You can’t shame addicts into sobriety. And I am proud of Matthew Perry for fighting for his life, for his sobriety, and for his legacy of helping others do the same.[/quote]

Is there DNA that makes you an addict? And if it’s truly a disease and you recognize your addiction then you know to stay away from drugs/alcohol just like a diabetic knows to stay away from sugar.[/quote]

Such ignorance re: diabetes.[/quote]
