My Dad Is an Alcoholic?
Question by katie s: my dad is an alcoholic?
my dad is an alcoholic. we had alot of “family” talks about him and his drinking. we said things like i love you, we want you to quit, we want you to be healthy so you can live a long life with us, it hurts us, and so on. he is a mean when he drinks and embarasses me when my friends come over. he always has an apology for the morning but he never seems to quit or attempt to. he gave me some pills to give him daily-they are like non abusive pills- so he would get sick whenever he has anything with alcohol in it. he took them back and told them that my grandma said she would give them to him. he recently was hospitalized due to a heart blockage. i was scared for his life. i still love him and want him to quit, but i have been sympathetic about this for years and now everytime he drinks i want to beat the s.h.it out of him. im tired of trying to help him. i know i am his daughter and i love him and want the best for him, and i know it is hard for him to quit, but this is getting out of hand. ANY SUGGESTIONS? anything would help

This is a very sensitive issue obviously. I haven’t personally been through it, but my other family members have. If I was in your position, I would suggest going to an AA meeting with him for support. I doubt that he actually wants to be an alcoholic forever and feel the way he does any longer than he needs to, but it wouldn’t hurt to suggest it to him whenever possible. Good luck :)
