#QUITLIT: Friends, Lovers, and the BIG Terrible Thing, Memoir by Matthew Perry

Amy welcomes back Carolyn Bunn, Sarah Alaimo, and Alysse Bryson of The Sober Curator to discuss Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir by Matthew Perry.

As one of the stars of Friends in the 1990s, Perry started struggling with alcohol and opiate addiction very quietly before it took over his life. The Sober Babes, as people who have consumed a ton of “Quit-Lit” and attended 12 Step programs, gives their impressions of the book and Perry’s honesty in depicting the program and sober living.

The Sober Curators Celebrate Friendsgiving and talk about Matthew Perry’s new memoir


#QUITLIT: Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. #QUITLIT is our curated list of addiction and recovery book reviews. From addiction and recovery memoirs to fiction and self-help, we believe all Sober Curators should be well-read. You can also find us on Goodreads here. 

What’s on your nightstand? We want to hear about what you’re reading right now and the addiction and recovery books you can’t live without. Email us at thesobercurator@gmail.com

In the mood to #ADDTOCART? Check out our curated list of #QUITLIT books in our Amazon Shop


Resources Are Available

If you or someone you know is experiencing difficulties surrounding alcoholism, addiction, or mental illness, please reach out and ask for help. People everywhere can and want to help; you just have to know where to look. And continue to look until you find what works for you. Click here for a list of regional and national resources.

Amy Liz Harrison is a Harvard Medical School–certified lifestyle and wellness coach with a master’s degree in publishing from Western Colorado University. Having first earned her B.A. in communication at azusa Pacific university, she is now the bestselling author of 20+ books and the founder of A-Team Press, LLC. Additionally, Harrison is the mom of eight biological kids and the wife to one Australian airline executive. Harrison’s material is semi geared towards Gen Xers, but like “We Are the World,” it’s really for everyone, because she’s a lover, not a fighter. Sober since 2011, she used to like pina coladas. But as a native Californian, she has never liked getting caught in the rain.
