Perry's addiction began in his early 20s, when he was prescribed Vicodin for a jet ski accident. He quickly became addicted to the drug, and his addiction spiraled out of control over the next several years. He lost jobs, relationships, and nearly his life on several occasions. But through it all, Perry never gave up hope. He entered rehab multiple times, and he finally achieved sobriety in 2001.

In Babble On, Perry talks about the many factors that contributed to his addiction, including his childhood trauma, his demanding career, and his own personality traits. He also discusses the various treatments he tried, from traditional 12-step programs to more experimental therapies. Perry's memoir is a powerful and inspiring story of addiction and recovery. It is a must-read for anyone who has struggled with addiction or who knows someone who has.
