THE LEGACY LIVES –

Nov 13, 2024 – As family and friends recently paid tribute to Matthew Perry on the one-year anniversary of his untimely passing, I considered honoring his memory with a throw-back post about one of my favorite Friends episodes. But the beloved sitcom star repeatedly made clear that he wanted to be remembered for far more than his work in Hollywood. 

In the years after we came to first know him as Chandler Bing, Perry opened up about his own difficulties with alcohol and opioid addiction in hopes of helping others find their own path to recovery and sobriety. Perry was an individual who opened his own home to those struggling with addiction, served as an interventionist and addiction specialist at a sober living facility, and also testified before Congress about addiction issues. Perry’s friends and loved ones are working to honor his legacy by providing hope and a vital lifeline for others.
