Friends, lovers, and the big terrible thing [large print] : a memoir / Matthew Perry.

Perry, Matthew, 1969-2023 (author.). Kudrow, Lisa, (author of introduction, etc).

Summary:

Perry takes readers behind the scenes of the sitcom Friends-- and into his struggles with addiction. Vividly detailing his lifelong battle with alcoholism and drugs, he examines what fueled it despite seemingly having it all: the desire for recognition that drove him, the void inside him that could not be filled, and the peace he's found in sobriety.-- Adapted from back cover.
