Secrets destroy you, he warned. People like me die from secrets. I should have been the talk of the town at the moment. I was all by myself, meeting only drug traffickers in a pitch-black room. "We know you're drinking," Jenny said. Just picture how tense that period was.

In his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing," Matthew—who reached recovery a number of years ago—has opened up about his difficulties with addiction. He claims that readers will be "surprised" by how "terrible" his struggles have been and how close he came to passing away.
They will likely be shocked by how horrible it was at times and how near to passing away I was, he said. In the book, I assert that, even though it wouldn't surprise anyone, my death would shock people. And having to live with that is a pretty scary thing. My aim is that through reading it, people would understand that this sickness affects everyone. Success or failure doesn't matter; the illness doesn't give a damn.
