If they needed alcohol to enjoy their honeymoon they shouldn't have gotten married!
I know many people who believe you can not have a good time unless they have alcohol. It is accepted as the norm with many people. They have no idea how to allow themselves to have fun without alcohol.
College culture pushes that idea and many parents accept it as expected.
I am a recovering alcoholic and she is an enabler !
💯💯
he needs treatment and she needs the same . AA and alaon and marriage therapy.. my opinion
Same here. I think she’s not only enabling him, she’s taken some moral high ground but she’s just as sick as him. I can’t diagnose anyone else but when someone starts trying to control their drinking, they’re likely an alcoholic. A non addicted brain doesn’t need to try to control their drinking, they don’t need to.
@@somechick1980very true ! are you in sobriety?
@@SSTIXX-lc9qd yep!! As of 4/4/22
She may know her hubby but she doesn't know about addiction
This is the exact right assessment.
Her rational is almost insane...IMO, an alcoholic cannot be a social drinker. He should never drink again. That hospital visit should have stopped both of them in their tracks.
She seems to encourage him.
And who is buying it
Then how do you think food addicts should go about it?
If you tell an alcoholic they can never drink again, it's overwhelming. I'm an alcoholic - I know! Through God's grace and the rooms of AA.... I am sober one day at a time going on 21 years now. They did stop drinking in their tracks with the hospital visit, for a year and a half.... without continued support, an alcoholic will almost always go back to drinking. She's definitely not supportive of him. I hope he goes to rehab for a few months away from her, finds a church support or an AA support because it's obvious he can't do it on his own, and it's obvious he can't do it with her either. I hope he saves himself. My ex died 2 and a half years ago, the doctor told him if he didn't stop drinking that his liver would fail, he was in denial and didn't listen. He died 😢 Unfortunately my not drinking didn't stop him. The only time he didn't drink was when we were riding the Harley, and we pretty much rode everyday, but as soon as he parked it....... 🤦🏼♀️
@@mamashark4342they make 12 step programs for food addicts. I'm type 2 diabetic, I can't eat sugar except in very small doses but the other 2 that live in my house do. No biggie because I know I can't have it or my eyes will get worse and my heart will get bad.
Sadly, some people thrive in the victim role!
The wife says however because she’s guilty of drinking too. She doesn’t want him to stop completely because then she has to do it too😂
Lol
My kids mom hates that I'm sober.
Agreed
@@36MeTHoDyeah it’s like dating a diabetic before they invented insulin, and they’re angry and bitter because they have to quit sugar and carbs and you don’t. 🤷♀️
She also needs to control eating habits, bad food can be an addiction
As a former alcoholic myself, I can say the only thing that is going to help this man is 6 months rehab treatment away from his wife/family. I done 7 months rehab over 14 years ago and was isolated away from the people that I loved but who had made it easy for me to drink. Good luck guy's, wishing you all the best xx
Many people do several rehabs and never stop. Many have to do multiple and then do stop. Many can stop without rehab.
The moral of the story is it’s very hard to tell what will “fix” someone. The only thing that will help him is for him come to the realization that he cannot drink alcohol.
Used AA and quit 9 years ago and once an alcoholic always an alcoholic
@cg9616 "Without us, you will fail"... I don't like that part. Tons of "old heads" relapsed during covid because they live by that. Relying on anything but yourself to stay sober you will fail.
My dad went through the same thing. Had to be isolated from all his friends and people that were contributing to him killing himself infront of his family every day.
I had some ideological clashes with the AA approach and didn't stick with it very long (but have not gone back to alcohol and never want to, been five and a half years now). But honestly I've been thinking about going again just to meet some new people, I work long days and get home late and have no social life. And loneliness can be bad for someone prone to addiction.
Actually Dr Phil is wrong. Alcoholics who stop drinking for someone else rarely see long term sobriety. They have to really commit for themselves
He didn’t say otherwise. He said she was enabling him.
Was here to comment this.
@@HumanBeanoditto
I disagree. Sometimes it’s easier to quit for someone you love…
@@mrmister8039 = higher chance of relapse
When she said she “does not regret” drinking with him again and getting him back into alcohol after 1 1/2 years 🤯
“We’re not gonna drink on American soil.” That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard
Thats how I started smoking again, fairy tails an addict tells himself are the best 😆
New drPhil is so refreshing to see❤
Agreed!
I like it so much
Me too,I'm binging😂@@theresad3717
🤗 I agree! Really enjoying Dr Phil tackling hard issues. Both personal and political.
Totally agree!!!
She will not be any help to him. He's got to get away from her.
I was at the taping of this episode and the wife is such an enabler… hope they get it together…
She stops drinking to support him. But says let’s drink on our honeymoon. He’s a big boy and can make his own decisions?!
I thought she was supporting him, not taunting him!!
Ahhh it was TESTING him she said, which is even worse
@@stacie444Seriously... he could have ended-up dying.
The wife is as toxic as he is!
Two peas in a pod!
More toxic. Females usually are. Most men would be just fine if they stayed away from women, but they don't.
Funny how that often happens, isn't it...
Seriously who isn't "toxic" in one way or another? We used to just call it baggage... some have more than others. How perfect are you exactly?
@@honeybadger3570 You're trying to compare having baggage to being toxic. Toxicity is a sliding scale, not events or specific things like baggage is. Everyone's toxic, what matters is how much and when.
people don't have to drink to enjoy their honeymoons or have a normal social life. That makes no sense.
I know many people who believe you can not have a good time unless they have alcohol. It is accepted as the norm with many people. They have no idea how to allow themselves to have fun without alcohol.
College culture pushes that idea and many parents accept it as expected.
But it helps
@@craigwilson341 Not if you're an alcoholic!!!
I used to drink 1 box wine a week. Now nothing. I quit maybe 2 summers ago at least.
Sounds like he needed it to deal with her.
I had a really bad binge drinking problem for years (only drank on weekends) and during COVID lockdowns I still only drank on weekends but it was the ONLY thing I did. From Friday 5pm when I'd log off from working from home I'd drink straight through to Saturday night, no sleep, no food, for the entirety of the lockdown. Just two day benders every single weekend, even when lockdown finsihed. Lockdown was a training ground for my alcoholism, I drank more than I ever had in my life. I'm now 600 days sober day and absolutely thriving :)
Congratulations!! 😊
My life changed virtually none during “lockdowns” still struggling with alcohol.
Stop making covid an excuse for escalating.
I wouldn't wish alcoholism on my worst enemy.
2 years sober this last April 29th. This is happening to a lot more people than you think. God was my answer, and God is theirs too. Pray for the people you know in your life who this is affecting because it is truly no joke.
As an alcoholic myself, I agree 100%.
God bless and strengthen you in your recovery.❤
My mom died in 2011, i drank a bottle a day of some cheap whiskey. In 2022 i quit drinking, it has been almost 2 years in june. Being a functioning alcoholic is dangerous. Have not had a drink since, i was ready to quit. You can do it.
As someone who drank heavily over the course of a year (like 18 drinks a day) … if at one point you think you’re dying you should NEVER have another drink.
Im so glad Dr.Phil is back!
Wow!!!!
This disgusting woman claims
To care about him but after push and push and supporting him getting sober she decided it’s a good idea for him
To drink with her again? This is entirely her fault. She has no respect for him or his sobriety. If he wants to stay sober he needs to leave her.
I'm afraid they are going to have to go separate ways.
I SERIOUSLY QUESTION HER LOVE FOR HIM
She has a problem too, thinking that 'enjoying your honeymoon' means drinking alcohol is a big red flag. No human being should drink alcohol, but if they do it should be 2 drinks MAX. There are literally thousands of things they could have done 'to enjoy themselves' on their honeymoon.
She's not disgusting. She just lacks knowledge and wants to be :deceived as we all do because learning about truth is hard work. It is for me. How about you?
I'm offended by her use of "a come to Jesus moment". No that means repentance, turning from sin and turning to God and living a life pleasing to God.
Her logic is completely flawed. Like what?!
The wife disgusts me. She is a big part of the problem.
She has failed as a wife and supporter.
What a mess. All she does is make excuses for him. Drinking isn’t a necessity and you don’t need it to have fun either. She just doesn’t want to stop drinking and having to hold back because of him is a bother to her.
She is actually selfish and very non supportive.
She is definitely so self-righteous. Who in the right mind would want their alcoholic spouse to try social drinking. It sounds to me like she can’t live without the drinking either, so is sacrificing him and making him look bad.
She seems to be afraid of quitting using alcohol herself in order to save his man.
imo the wife would significantly benefit from AlAnon mtgs. ...many AlAnons discover that they are, in fact, alcoholics..
She needs it to "have fun", they will quit next week because they need it to "relax after this stressful show"...they wont ever have a healthy relationship with alcohol, its not a tool, its nothing and thats how it should be viewed..not important and invisible most of the time
Just went through all this myself. There’s nothing I could do. She loved drinking more than her own family
Alcoholism is aquired by companions of the same addiction....Alcoholism/drug addicts DO NOT have sober companions!!
She wanted to drink. So she had him drink too. She new better, but she needed to drink so she sacraficed him.
What im hearing from her is that they are using alcohol as a crutch, to have fun, to sooth the stress of this show etc..if thats the mindset, there will never be a healthy relationship with it..
This is exactly why I don't drink.
I'll drink to that 🍻
He’s so weak. She’s not “mamma bear”, she’s the abusive alpha in that relationship and she’s killing him.
And if he was a woman she would be the victim but because he's a man he has to be weak right apparently men cannot be victims of domestic abuse
I think she is scared that she'll lose him if he sobers up
I can think of a few activities that would make a honeymoon fun without alcohol.
She needs to stop enabling it
There’s no boundary when someone has no off button. It’s a deception that you can control it. Why do you need alcohol to enjoy life especially each other? Did you need it as a kid to be happy? Same goes for any drug.
She’s right. You can’t make an addict quit unfortunately.
Newer Dr Phil is actually pretty decent
Yeah he’s aight
She is also a alcoholic but has yet to come to terms lol
It's his responsibility. No one else's. Others will always drink
IF YOU NEED RULES OF WHEN AND WHERE YOU CAN DRINK THEN YOU DON'T NEED TO DRINK. she knew he was an alcoholic I think and got him to drink anyway
I was kind of in the same boat as this man was. During COVID, I had a drink after work on a daily basis, it was usually 1-2 per day, everyday. I realised it was becoming a habit and just stopped. I still drink but it’s usually only when I go out with family (which is not often). I don’t have a problem with alcohol but he clearly does. I feel for him.
Did she not see the bottles in the trash or know he was buying that much? She knew
As someone who has been in rehab for alcoholism, it’s a terrible disease and he cannot blame this woman for his use. Everybody has a choice and he’s doing it to himself. That’s one of the biggest things we learn in his 12th step alcoholism program.
Wow! She is toxic. I would never encourage an alcoholic to drink like she did on their honeymoon.
Phil zeroed in on Kirsten with a lot of vitriol, meanwhile her husband who is the one struggling with the addiction is told not to even speak at one point; Phil spends more of their time demeaning and berating Kirsten than speaking with Frank. That seems to be the goal...you'll generate more buzz trying to make the wife alone look like The Problem*. Drama and black-and-white thinking are more captivating in this society than good advice offered with kindness and understanding. A real shame.
*To be clear, there may indeed be ways Kirsten was unknowingly enabling him; and also, as she tried to explain, sometimes humans need to test a hypothesis before we can convince our brains that it is true. After a year and a half of not drinking and no longer being in lockdown, I can absolutely understand why in the moment, they might together make the mistake of enabling him to start drinking again. Trying and attempting to do so as mindfully and responsibly as possible (setting rules, etc.) and seeing it fail anyway IS a compelling way to convince yourself that you're actually an alcoholic and can't control your intake, if you weren't convinced before. Learning from our mistakes without shame and with kindness is key.
You provided more insight and care in this comment, then Dr. Phil himself.
They put so much more pressure on her than him, the actual drinker that can’t figure this out. And what a squirlly guy, not standing up and defending her when they are focusing the conversation on her. This segment is disgusting honestly. The audacity of Dr. Phil and the guest to be putting all this on her.

I had a problem with my husband's drinking so h know what I stopped drinking all together you can't keep someone from doing something you do in their face. To me it's a matter of respect. I haven't drank in 8 years and guess what my husband has been sober for 6 years now and it's been the best thing to happen
I'll drink to that 🍻
@@firstlast8258 good one 😂
If you want to live long stop the excuses and the enabling and the drinking ❗
Why do you have to drink to have fun? I drink very little. I can take it or leave it. I cant stand to be around sloppy drunks!
Poor guy. Alcohol is a depressant so he created a never ending dependent on a coping activity that actually makes him feel worse.
Watching this and it was interrupted by a whiskey ad
Hi crusader!
you don't need Alcohol to have a good time. my Dad was an alcoholic and he had to quit or get out he's not been sober for like 10 years.
She has the biggest attitude problem.
The most surprising part of this video is the fact that he and SHE are comedians.
So was Robin Williams !
totally. neither are funny
@@MrItsyitz And I get Dr. Phil not wanting them to joke when talking about that topic but there is no way that anyone has ever laughed at a joke that she told. Laughed at her? Sure.
I don't think she's an enabler.
I think she sabotages him on purpose.
And he allows it.
Two very disgusting people.
Excellent program Dr Phil. Thank you.
Ugh. She is so bad for him. Smh
I get the battle of alcohol…I lost my husband and my son lost his father to dementia, they believe due to alcohol…it’s not worth it!
As an Australian I call amateur
IL drink to that!!!
As an Slav from eastern Balkan,I agree,not even 1L per day,amateur
Respect 🫡
Those are Rookie numbers, junior. We need to bump those numbers up!
Enable much lady? Jesus
And adultery.
He was sober before the honeymoon and SHE suggested having a drink which he thought he could handle it. She did this to him. She got him drinking again. Then jokes about a serious situation. Why would she do something like this? Blows my mind.
I'm an alcoholic and i will tell you these people need to just stop lying to them selfs. its not 750ml that he drinks per day. it's 750ml each (as in both) per day. I can feel the shakes from here. I'm down to 6 beers per day from that and its so hard. I need help stopping 100% for more then 4 days. I wish these two love and the best of luck. I need help to. just being honest. Best of luck
Well said. Im an alcoholic too. These people are delusional.
Make sure you seek out that help and don't try and go cold turkey! Nothing wrong with a medically assisted detox.
I'm nearly 72 hrs without a drink...I'm sat here preying I don't have a seizure. (I've had one before) I understand how you feel. I don't have support as my family and friends drink. They won't stop for me it's triggering so I've shut myself off from them for a while. All local meetings are in the evening. I have kids so can't go there. It feels very lonely. I wish you all the best on your journey ❤
I struggle with alcohol too. You're not alone. I hope you get the help you need and you can do it. I got help for my mental health and now I don't want to drink so much. Reach out, because it's ok and you deserve a sober healthy life! I self destruct because that was easier then admitting I was being the problem.
10:41 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Why don't bro just start smoking bud?
So So sick of hearing everyone blaming Covid for their failures.
I believe that because he had a daily escape from his wife that he never knew what a 1950's life with her would be like and he could not handle it
She is 100% enabling his behaviour!
Alcohol in the house…should not happen
She CLEARLY doesn’t want any responsibility for his drinking which is why she keeps putting it back on him. But she is responsible in many ways.
If she continues to drink around the alcoholic that she claims to love she will be half responsible for his demise
Bet you he gets better when she’s out of his life
What you can do is STOP buying the alcohol!
His wife is such an enabler. She makes excuses for him. She also comes across as arrogant. These two are terrible for each other.
I don't think anyone realizes the damage done with the covid lock downs! I'm a victim as well, not with drinking, but afraid to leave my house!
I loved not having to worry about "pop-in" visitors during the lockdown. This authoritarian regime wants you to stay at home, frightened. Don't let them win. Go outside. You'll be fine. Get back to nature.
Please get help. You can put this behind you. Life is out there for you. 🙏❣️
“ in sickness and in health” and if alcoholism isn’t a sickness, I don’t know what is!
I just think she accepts him, flaws and all, and likely realises that being an addict, there’s a good chance he will choose the drink over her, and I’m guessing that’s why she hasn’t made any ultimatums.
Well said.
What is driving him to drink in the first place? Was that even addressed?
He drinks because he is a lush. That is the reason.
8:49 Those are all thoughts an alcoholic deals with. It never leaves your mind. I’ve had these conversations with my father who struggled with his alcoholism.
True colors
She's toxic for him, I think he needs to admit that she's the one that causes his drinking and he should divorce her ASAP
She’s an ENABLER.
You locked yourself in your house.
Victimhood releases one from bad decisions and behavior.
You were ' overserved ' at the bar?
One of those?
There are no cheat days, no exceptions. When an alcoholic starts drinking, it will always progress back to abnormal levels. I know from personal experience. She’s a poison for him, and she’s a terrible influence on him for drinking with him. If you want to support your alcoholic friends and family, NEVER have a drink with them.
This couple is a prime example of why we alcoholics go to AA for life.
Now you have to ask your self, how is it possible to have two different profiles. This is just the picture on RUclips. We are talking real life.
I’m a recovering addict/alcoholic. In my opinion, she’s as sick as he is. She has reservations and is putting that before their wellbeing. Bottom line, they both need help but as she so eloquently stated, you can’t force anyone to get sober!
If my significant other is a recovering alcoholic the last thing id ever do in front of them is drink.. you can have an amazing honeymoon with out alcohol.. you can have fun without alcohol.. period ..
Them: we’re comedians
*says absolutely nothing funny about an absolutely not funny situation*
Dr. Phil , pls do a report on Mica Miller. Her family needs justice 🙏
Have you ever heard of a binaural energy vampire - someone who feeds off of the binaural living energy of people who self-manifest their own energy. Well she is an energy vampire
Sounds like she may have a problem too if she’s not willing to quit with him and is encouraging him when he had stopped
What about being extremely overweight this is just as bad.
I hate Phils wife expressions.
She looks like jigsaw
😂😂😂😂😂
Stop it, Phil, you’re too funny lol
She is the same type that thinks she's a beautiful woman
My boyfriend actually drank himself to death and on purpose I think. He had quit drinking maybe for 5 or 10 years at that point. He didn't drink when I met him that I knew of anyways. Took him about a year to end up in hospital and die

750ml is a 5th of liquor
