He said: "I never drink at work, but the hangover is still very bad. I am tired and trembling constantly at work." He said that his friends had expressed their willingness to help, but he said: "I You cannot make a person awake without being ready to hear this. You must conquer all of this by yourself."

When you decide to value your life, your mind will become clear and you will listen to the voice in your heart. "
    When " Serving Sara " had 13 days of work and " Friends " was still filming, Matthew took a flight back to Los Angeles. His parents drove him to a secret rehabilitation center, Matthew said "It's scary. I don't want to die, but I am very grateful that my health ended up being so bad, because it is so bad that makes me stronger and want to recover."
