"Without that thing he did that made him famous he wouldn't be famous" is a ridiculous thing to say. He was a big part of peoples' experiences for 10 years. People are allowed to be sad that he is gone. What were you trying to accomplish with this? That people who care would suddenly agree with you? Just stay out of the thread if you don't care about the subject; it isn't that difficult.

Geez internet stranger you are so right. He lived this prolific career on one single sitcom that he barely remembers being in and we should all morn that.

NP. Why don’t you exit this thread if you don’t think people should “morn” [sic] Matthew Perry?

Dp because we all have a right to comment. I think the tributes are going overboard. We are actuallt mourning Chandler Bing who was written as a nice guy rather than Mmatthew Perry a deeply mentally ill person.

If you read his book, he put a lot of Matty into Chandler Bing.

He understood that him dying would be sad, but not a shock. He owns his shit, and he was a shit. Lots of issues stemming from childhood, starting at 6 weeks old (use of drugs to treat colic), that led him to using alcohol early, on top of being an actual addict. You have to think of him as a child actor in the late 80s/early 90s. He was good friends with River Phoenix. Sad, but not shocking that he died alone. His body was so damaged.

How many kids treated for colic end up a significantly heavy drug user? Sounds like he was looking for excuses as to why he had his addiction which leads to the typical “it’s not my fault thus it’s okay to continue use”.

+1 I haven't heard that any medicine used for colic has led to drug abuse. But I also don't think he had a "it's okay to continue use" attitude. I think during his using years he was full of self-loathing, which made it easier to lean into the chemical addiction and lifestyle that supported it. There was no reason to get sober.

I believe on CNN he said to other addicts “It’s a disease, it’s not your fault”.

Unkind person, the word you were trying to use is "mourn."

I’ll be sure to complain to my autocorrect based on your self righteousness.

I saw him in a Lifetime movie before Friends. Deadly Relations, based on a true story. Gwyneth was in it, also. He did a Great job though in a smaller role.
I liked the sitcoms he did after Friends. Networks never give shows like these a chance to catch on, but keep producing disgusting and stupid reality shows.

I don’t believe drug addiction, alcoholism or obesity are diseases that are incurable and you have no control over. Especially if you’re a millionaire who has the world of help resources at your disposal that the average joe does not. Poor unfortunate celebrity.

Where did you get your neuroscience/medical degree?

Your assertion could not be more ignorant of science and reality - it's puritanical bunk thinking.

PP phrased it incorrectly, but she's right in general terms. You're always an alcoholic, that doesn't go away. But you can stop drinking or using for years or decades or the rest of your life, and many do.

Right, and you can get brain damage, alcoholic meningitis, severe vitamin deficiencies and organ damage and have that physical damage for the rest of your life.
