In a May 30 interview with ABC News, the 43-year-old actor opened up about his history of drug and alcohol abuse and explained how he's helping others facing similar issues.
在5月30日ABC電視網新聞節(jié)目的采訪中，Matthew Perry這位43歲的男演員跟大家講述了自己吸毒、酗酒的歷史，還跟大家分享了現在的他是怎樣幫助那些和以前的他有著同樣問題的人的。

When he was using, the actor said his biggest vices were drinking and opiates. "I think I was pretty good at hiding it, but eventually people were aware," Perry said of trying to hide his problems from his Friends costars and crew members.
他說，自己最大的惡習就是酗酒和吸毒?！拔矣X得我最開始把這些惡習藏得挺好的，不過最終還是被大家發(fā)現了，”Perry說自己曾經試圖向《老友記》的其他演員和劇組工作人員隱藏這件事。

Perry realized he needed to sober up and entered a 28-day rehabilitation program in 1997. He also worked with addiction specialist Earl Hightower. "This guy has saved my life, literally 15, 16 times," the actor said of Hightower. "The treatment is all-encompassing."
直到1997年，Perry意識到自己必須戒毒、戒酒，并接受了28天的康復療程。之后他也一直在和戒癮專家Earl Hightower一起努力。說道Hightower，他是這樣描述的：“這個人可以說是救了我15、16次，整個包括了各個方面?！?/div>

The Massachusetts sought treatment again in February 2001 to address his addictions to Vicodin, methadone, amphetamines and alcohol. Perry can't bear to look at photos of himself from that time. "I honestly recoil. It's scary to look at that," he said. "I was a sick guy."
之后再2001年，他又因為維柯丁、美沙酮上癮以及酗酒再次在馬塞諸塞州接受治療。Perry之后一直不敢看自己那段時間的照片?！罢f實話，我一直不敢看那個時候的照片，當時我那個樣子簡直就是個病人。

Now sober, Perry is doing everything possible to pay it forward; he's even opened a sober living house to help men transition from rehab into the real world. Said the star, "The thing that I'm most proud of in my life is that if a stranger came up to me and said, 'I can't stop drinking. I can't stop drinking. Can you help me?' I can say, 'Yes, I can help you.'"
現在戒除各種上癮之后的Perry會盡一切可能把正能量傳遞下去；他甚至開了一間戒癮生活屋來幫助那些正在戒除各種癮的人們。他說：“我現在對自己的生活最驕傲的事情就是，如果有個陌生人來跟我說‘我真的真的戒不掉酗酒，你能不能幫幫我？’我會說，‘我可以幫你?！?/div>
