PUTTING YOU ON RED ALERT,
BECAUSE THERE IS A CRISIS IN OUR
COUNTRY, AND I'M TALKING ABOUT
DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTION.
IT'S AN EPIDEMIC, AND IT IS
KILLING AND DESTROYING FAMILIES.
NO ONE IS IMMUNE.
THERE ARE OVER 28 MILLION PEOPLE
WHO ARE ADDICTED, SOME AS YOUNG
AS 12 YEARS OLD.
BUT MOST SHOCKING IS THAT OVER
80% OF THOSE ADDICTED NEVER
RECEIVED TREATMENT.
NOW, I STARTED THE "DR. PHIL"
SHOW 16 YEARS AGO, AND THE FIRST
QUESTION I WAS ASKED IS, "WHAT'S
THIS SHOW GOING TO BE ABOUT?"
I SAID I WAS GOING TO DEDICATE
THIS SHOW TO SHINING A SPOTLIGHT
ON WHAT I CALL THE SILENT
EPIDEMICS THAT WERE PLAGUING
FAMILIES IN AMERICA.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE EPIDEMICS.
OVER THE YEARS, WE HAVE RECEIVED
THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF
EMAILS FROM PARENTS, SIBLINGS,
SPOUSES, AND CHILDREN, PLEADING
DESPERATELY FOR HELP TO SAVE
SOMEBODY THEY LIVE FROM DRUGS
AND ALCOHOL.
I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT WE HAVE
HELPED NEARLY 500 GUESTS WITH
INPATIENT TREATMENT FOR
SUBSTANCE ABUSE.
[APPLAUSE]
THAT IS OVER $28 MILLION IN
RESOURCES PROVIDED TO THESE
FOLKS OVER THE YEARS.
[APPLAUSE]
NEVER BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF
TELEVISION HAS A SHOW EVER DONE
ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
BUT HOW ARE THESE GUESTS DOING
NOW?
WELL, TODAY WE ARE GOING TO FIND
OUT.
FIRST, YOU WILL REMEMBER SISTERS
VALEEN, AMANDA, AND TIFFANY.
THEY WERE ALL ADDICTED TO HEROIN
AND THEY WERE USING TOGETHER.
THEY WERE TRIGGERING EACH OTHER,
SPARKING EACH OTHER.
THREE SISTERS SAID DOING HEROIN
HAD CREATED AN UNBREAKABLE BOND
BETWEEN THEM, AND AS LONG AS
THEY WERE TOGETHER, NOTHING
WOULD OR COULD KEEP THEM FROM
USING.
TAKE A LOOK.
YOU WILL REMEMBER THEM.
>> I FEEL FINE NOW.
>> REALLY HIGH.
>> MY DAUGHTERS ARE HEROIN
USERS.
THEY ARE JUNKIES.
THEY SIT THERE, LIKE A BUNCH OF
IDIOTS.
>> I'M HIGH AS HELL.
>> WHEN WE WAKE UP IN THE
MORNING, THE FIRST THING ON OUR
MINDS IS TO GET HIGH.
IT'S LIKE I'M MARRIED TO IT.
>> AS SOON AS IT GOES THROUGH MY
VEINS I FEEL 100 TIMES BETTER.
>> YOU ARE HIGH RIGHT NOW,
RIGHT?
>> WHERE DID YOU GET THE DRUGS?
>> JAY-Z.
>> HE BROUGHT THEM WITH US.
>> HOW DID YOU TRANSPORT THEM?
>>>> LUGGAGE.
>> NOW I'M GOING TO GO MEET THE
65-YEAR-OLD MAN.
THIS IS HOW I MAKE MY MONEY.
>> I TOLD THEM, YOU DO NOT LET
ANYBODY CHEAT YOU GUYS LIKE A
PIECE OF [BLEEP].
>> I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD DO
THAT.
I HATE THESE GUYS AND THIS IS
WHAT I RESORT TO.
>> I SHOULD TAKE THEM OUT.
THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
>> YOU THINK?
LOOK AT THIS.
THIS IS YOUR HOME, DAD.
>> THEY BEAT ME DOWN.
>> BECAUSE YOU ARE WEAK.
GROW A PAIR AND BE A MAN!
[APPLAUSE]
>> HERE IS WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN.
YOU'RE GOING FROM DIFFERENT
PLACES AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.
YOU CAN TURN THIS AROUND.
>> Dr. Phil: IT'S BEEN THREE
YEARS, AND THEY ARE HERE, AND I
AM PROUD TO SAY ONE, TWO, THREE,
ALL THREE OF THEM ARE SOBER.
PLEASE WELCOME VALEEN, AMANDA,
AND TIFFANY.
COME ON OUT.

WELL, IT'S A HAPPIER DAY THAN
THE FIRST TIME I MET THE THREE
OF YOU, RIGHT?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
[LAUGHTER]
>> TO SAY THE LEAST.
>> Dr. Phil: YOU HAD A
DIFFERENT LOOK IN YOUR EYE WHEN
I MADE LAST TIME.
VALEEN, IT'S BEEN ALMOST THREE
YEARS.
WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD BE
IF YOU HADN'T COME HERE?
>> I BELIEVE I'D BE DEAD OR
WISHING I WAS DEAD.
LIFE HAS CHANGED SO MUCH FOR THE
BETTER.
>> YEAH, LIFE IS GOOD TODAY.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR HAVING
US BACK HERE.
IT'S DEFINITELY A DIFFERENT
EXPERIENCE.
I CAN ACTUALLY LIVE LIFE TODAY,
YOU KNOW?
AND EXPERIENCE IT.

PEOPLE IN THE REAL WORLD AND
REAL LIFE.
THIS ISN'T ALWAYS A SUCCESS-ONLY
JOURNEY.
YOU'VE HAD A HICCUP A LONG WAY,
CORRECT?
>> YEAH.

WET, THREE OR FOUR MONTHS AGO?
AFTER OVER TWO YEARS OF
SOBRIETY.

ON TRACK, YOU ARE THREE MONTHS
CLEAN AND SOBER AGAIN AT THIS
POINT.
[APPLAUSE]
POINT. [APPLAUSE] I'M PROUD THAT YOU ARE BACK ON
THE ROAD AND I AM BEHIND YOU
100%.
[APPLAUSE]
100%. [APPLAUSE] WHAT WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE LIKE
BEING ON THE SHOW?
>> YOU KNOW, I LIVED MY LIFE
JUST TRYING TO GET WHAT I WANTED
FROM EVERYBODY AROUND ME.
WHEN FILMING STARTED, AND THEN
WHEN I GOT HERE, IT WAS THE END
OF THAT, AND I DIDN'T KNOW HOW
TO FUNCTION WITHOUT DOING THAT.
>> Dr. Phil: YOU ARE VERY
ANNOYED.
>> I WASN'T GETTING IT ANYMORE.
>> IT WAS LIKE HAVING A
BABYSITTER PRETTY MUCH.
SOMEONE WAS WITH US ALL TIME AND
CHECKING ON US, AND IT WAS
ANNOYING.
[LAUGHTER]
ANNOYING. [LAUGHTER] >> Dr. Phil: I'VE DEALT WITH
YOU GUYS BEFORE, AND WE KNOW IF
WE DON'T WATCH YOU AND WATCH YOU
CLOSE, YOU ARE VERY INNOVATIVE.
>> I JUST GOT OUT OF JAIL SO I
WAS LOOKING AROUND.
I WAS WATCHING ME.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Dr. Phil: A KIND OF FELT
LIKE BEING BACK IN JAIL?
>> YEAH.
>> Dr. Phil: LISTEN, YOU GUYS,
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.
I WANT PEOPLE TO SEE YOU GUYS
NOW, BECAUSE THEY ARE SITTING
THERE THINKING, "I CAN'T DO IT,"
BUT THEY CAN DO IT, CAN'T THEY?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> FOR SURE.
[APPLAUSE]
>> Dr. Phil: WHAT DO YOU SAY
TO SOMEBODY SITTING AT RIGHT NOW
AND SAYING, "THIS IS TOO HARD, I
CAN'T DO IT?

I DID WAS I LISTENED AND I
TRIED.
[APPLAUSE]
TRIED. [APPLAUSE] SPEED WHEN YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL,
AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
ONE GUEST ASKED CONSTANTLY ABOUT
HIS BRANDY.
SHE WAS ARRESTED AT LEAST 12
TIMES, ONE FOR SHOOTING UP THE
BEDROOM OF A MAN SHE DATED WITH
A .38 REVOLVER.

CALLING SOMEONE A BITCH AND
SAYING, "HERE I AM, BITCH.
YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?"
GREAT JOB, MOM.
>> BUT I DIDN'T --
>> Dr. Phil: STOP TALKING.
YOU THINK YOU CAN FLAP YOUR
MOUTH?
YOU NEED TO LISTEN.
YOU ARE AN ALCOHOLIC.
YOU NEED SERIOUS INTENSIVE
PROFESSIONAL HELP WITH THIS.
>> IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY, BUT I
DON'T TRUST YOU.
>> THE FEELING IS MUTUAL.

SOLUTION OR GET THE HELL OUT OF
MY WAY.
>> EVERYTHING IS COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT IN MY LIFE SINCE
COMING TO THE SHOW.
I LOOK AND FEEL LIKE A
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON,
IT'S AMAZING.
I REGRET HOW I BEHAVED IN FRONT
OF THE PRODUCERS.
I WANTED ALCOHOL REALLY BAD.
I KEPT ASKING THE STAFF MEMBERS
TO GET ME CHAMPAGNE, WINE, THEY
WOULDN'T DO IT.
I WAS IN SHOCK WHEN DR. PHIL
BROUGHT UP THE FLASHING
INCIDENT.
