Having recently dated an alcoholic for 2 yrs (and others in the past), and having an alcoholic roommate for 5 yrs, it's incredibly difficult to be on the other end of addiction. I'm a very caring, nurturing, understanding person... but addicts seem to view us as easy targets & punching bags for their self-loathing anger. It's a really tough spot to be in, especially when you love someone.

@@Wishpoolthank you for being patient & caring for addicts. It’s not necessarily that (we) see you as an “easy target”, it’s that when someone is in active addiction, all of their values go out the window. You become completely enslaved to the drug/drink and your brain is wired to be obsessive over it, to need it, and then you start going through physical and emotional withdrawals.. so even when an addict does quit, the depression from drug withdrawal is intense and can last months. Unfortunately, an addict can be the most amazing, empathetic person in the world.. but when you’re in addiction your brain justifies using people as a means to an end to its new life line - the drug/alcohol. That’s why addicts feel so guilty for years after that get clean. I will never not be guilty for the pain I caused others in active addiction.

Such a lovely soul. RIP friend.

He's such a lovable person, hope he knew that ❤

The Demon ‘addiction’ is hard to shake especially in a job where enablers are a constant, and some actors might buy into the overwhelming flattery and schmoozing of master manipulators. 20 years later, Matthew Perry’s continues his personal war now in 2022. He’s won some battles and lost some battles. He deserves to be commended for still fighting his addictions. I hope he wins the war.

Wow, he looks to clear and healthy compared to a few years ago….. but sadly he had 12-13 more rehabs to visit. Not a week after his death he was clean for over two years & wrote a best selling autobiography. He found peace after years of dealing with his past and anxiety. He was a talented actor but always second guessing himself.
