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.
