He continued: “I wanted to talk about the highs and the lows because people are suffering out there and maybe if they hear a story from somebody they’ve seen on TV that’s worse than their’s or just the same of their’s, they’ll be filed with hope, which is the key thing.”In a separate interview with The New York Times, the actor said he had been sober for 18 months and had “probably spent $9 million or something trying to get sober” after his struggles with alcohol and opioids.
Perry noted in his book that he “should be dead” because of what he had been through trying to get sober. He would end up going to rehab 15 times over the years and in 2018, his colon burst as a result of his drug use. Doctors told him he had a two percent chance to live.“I was put on a thing called an ECMO machine, which does all the breathing for your heart and your lungs. And that’s called a Hail Mary. No one survives that,” he told People.
