But it is honest, and raw, and a powerful insight to the truth behind what is really going on. I gave the story three stars because I often felt that it was jumping back and forth between timelines, and the book is really focused on the addiction, the drugs and the relapses. I think Matthew Perry beautifully illustrates this in his book. And I do not believe for a second that anyone would choose addiction and the pain it brings.

I was raised by an addict, and have a few more people who as addicts in my family. Addition really is a Big, Terrible Thing. Matthew Perry often compares himself to Chandler in the book, contrasting how Chandler matured and he hadn’t.

Chandler was always my favorite on friends, because he was always all over the place, had a hard time understanding and dealing with emotions, and yet matured so much throughout the series.
