Matthew Perry felt that his "Friends" co-stars weren't battling addictions as hard as he was

When the show was gaining so much popularity Matthew Perry was struggling with his own battles with alcohol and drug addiction, but he also said that his co-stars from friends always helped him to recover and he continued by saying that it is not fair that he was going through all of this alone.

It's unfair that I had to experience this illness while the other five did not, he said again. Everything I had was given to them. However, I had to battle this and continue to battle this.

While Perry was promoting his biography, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing," he was also on a better road in recent years.


After being involved in a Jet Ski accident in 1997, he started using Vicodin and went to rehab in the same year.

He lost almost 128 pounds because he was addicted and took almost 50-55 tablets a day.

He claimed to have gone to 15 different recovery facilities, attended roughly 6,000 sessions of Alcoholics Anonymous, and calculated that he had spent about $9 million on his sobriety.
