[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure who I feel is ultimately responsible. Mixed feelings.

What this makes me think of is how often celebrities talk about their addictions and sobriety, give interviews, write books and offer advice and how often it's just a bunch of lies offered up as a way to rehab their images, make money or just get attention. So often they are not really sober or they relapse but don't acknowledge that. Perry was just another one. [/quote]

It's not lies exactly. Whatever they're writing or declaring is probably stated without cynicism. But it's like someone with cancer in remission making a promise. It goes away. Everything seems good. And then it comes back - for whatever reason - and they are dead just like that. Cancer and addiction don't play. I know Matthew Perry tried. He didn't mean to die or fool anyone. I'm sure he thought, hey, ketamine, not a problem like alcohol or opioids. And therapeutic! With a prescription! And it became a problem. I'm sure it absolutely tortured him once his book came out. He was again living a lie. Hiding. Secrets. It must have been excruciating.

There are some good celebrity recovery memoirs. And you can tell who's in a good place. And Matthew Perry wasn't one of them. It's a reality check   [/quote]
