Matthew Perry's troubled legacy with addiction

In his memoir 'Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing', Perry penned poignant words that now echo with haunting significance: "If I did die, it would shock people, but it wouldn't surprise anybody. And that's a very scary thing to be living with."

Perry, at the age of 54, met a tragic end when he apparently drowned in his jacuzzi at his Los Angeles residence on the fateful Saturday, October 28.

Perry's memoir is a candid reflection of his battles with addiction and the tumultuous journey of his life. At the tender age of 14, he turned to alcohol as a way to cope with his parents' separation and the yearning for their attention, according to The Independent.

By the time he reached 18, he found himself in the grip of daily drinking. Perry acknowledged that his struggle with alcoholism had already begun when he was first cast in the iconic sitcom at the age of 24.

"I could handle it, kind of. But by the time I was 34, I was really entrenched in a lot of trouble," the actor once told People magazine.
