As the world continues to mourn the loss of “Friends” star Matthew Perry, some are remembering his life’s work of helping those with substance abuse issues. 

Perry, who died Saturday at the age of 54, was open about his own battle with alcohol and drug abuse. He chronicled his fight and his work to help others in his memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.” 

Jana Wu, a licensed alcohol and drug counselor with Mountainside, an alcohol and drug addiction treatment center in the tri-state area, joined “Mornings On 1” Monday to discuss his work, and what others can do if they are struggling with addiction issues.
