I read this book a few months ago, and some of it still disturbs me. I thought of two sayings as I read it: âBe Careful What You Wish For' and âCocaine is God's way of telling you that you have too much money.' Matthew Perry dreamed and wished, from a young age, to be world famous. With his eventual fame came riches, which enabled him to afford astounding amounts of opiates for years. He spent multi-millions on rehab, and it appears he understood addiction and various treatments, but could not maintain sobriety for very long. I also kept thinking of what good things this man could have done, had he exposed some of the fallacies of various treatment centers he paid tens of thousands of dollars to attend, with little or no results. Having come extremely close to dying from the abuse his addictions wreaked on his body, and spending months in the hospital, it was so sad to see that he relapsed and died from his addiction not long after.
