Listening to a You Tuber discussing Matthew Perry's drug addiction and the circumstances leading up to his death.
I remember I listened to Mr. Perry's book when it came out - and that was about a year before his passing.
Crazy.
Being on drugs sounds like heavy-lifting.
Trying to expunge one kind of pain by trouncing it with a different source of pain.
(There's some song where it says, "...and she give me a lethal dose..." - I think it's a Bob Dylan composition ... Hearing about the passing of "Chandler Bing" makes one think of that lyric ...)
"Shelter From The Storm" - Bob Dylan! - that's the song
The video said Matthew Perry tried to quit taking drugs with such efforts as -
having mental-health counseling, twice a week, for 30 years
going to 6,000 AA meetings
went through detox 65 times
Extreme behavior; extreme efforts.
Some comments people type on the Internet are full of judgment and condemnation of addicts. I tend to just feel sorry for the person, and feel shaken by the tragic elements. There has to be some kind of "hard-wiring" of the mind and personality and physical make-up of the person that can help drive these tendencies.
Matthew Perry's personal assistant asked a doctor about getting ketamine; the doctor contacted another doctor about acquiring the ketamine. He bounced ideas off the other doctor as to how much he should charge the actor for the drug, texting, "I wonder how much this moron will pay."
