my dad drinks alot any suggestions?

Answer 1

Sorry to hear that but speaking from experience, your dad will not get help until he is ready too. You can talk to him till he is blue in the face but until he is ready to get help there is not a whole lot to do. My suggestion is to stay away from him when he is drinking that's what I did and eventually my family memeber got sober and hasn't drank in almost 10 years. Give him space he will see the error of his ways soon. Good luck!

Answer 2

If you live with your dad, I'm sure it's especially hard.

If you could sit down and have a heart to heart talk with him, and let him know that you notice he drinks a lot, that it worries you, and you would like to see him try an Alcoholic support group -- A.A. or something similar. You need to be sensitive, caring, understanding, and most importantly supportive of your dad. The more he feels you are on his side and not against him, the easier steps toward recovery will become. Let him know you notice a problem, but you love him & are behind him 100% in helping him get better.

Bad news is nobody quits drinking for anybody else but themselves... and until they're really ready, it's not going to be a completely successful recovery.

Alcoholism is a disease. Once it's out of hand, it's no longer a choice, but a means of functioning... My dad drinks a lot, too, but he hides it -- that's the worst type of alcoholic. I refuse to bring my daughter around him when he's drinking. He has quit during our visits, but not all together. I know he has no desire to quit, so I just let him do what he wants on his own time.

I'm sure you love your daddy as all girls do, and you're concerned. Not sure how old you are, but when you move out it will get better because then you can choose to not expose yourself to that...Sorry to hear about what you're going through, hope I helped a little :-)

Answer 3

i know about two superticious tricks that i dont know if they work, but the worst battle is the not done one.
a little fish, baby guppy, in the bottle, the idea is that maybe he unconsciously recognize swallowing something sluggish and reacts negatively toward alcohol...

to make him drink from a new bottle from which no one has drank before, or even going to drink or take some after, and dig a hole where you put the bottle upside down, cover it with soil and wait for results.
Don´t tell anyone about this, except someone of trust that may help you do this.

Answer 4

Alcoholics Anonymous?

Answer 5

Alcoholics Anonymous, or sit him down and have a chat with him maybe he doesn't realise it, you could try your local GP for advise good luck with it and make sure you get the support you need as it can affect your life too

Answer 6

Theres nothing you can do,he needs to see that he has a problem before he can even think about seeking help.Ive been in this situation and watched my mother- in- law die through liver disease.Try talking to him and let him know how its affecting you,maybe he does want help but is too embarassed to say.Good luck.

Answer 7

your not explaining the problem? are you more concerned that his health will be affected, or is it that he is a problem to the family unit when he's been drinking? maybe your asking the question why does he drink too much?

Answer 8

I'm sorry for you. What does your mom have to say? How does he behave when he's drunk. My wife's father died as the result of alcoholism. In addition to losing his wife and alienating his kids, he ended up with screwed up liver.

Answer 9

Give him some more
I also have a drink problem, I only have one mouth

Answer 10

Tell him how you feel and that he is putting himself in danger not only health, physical, and mental wise, but his relationships with friends and loved ones in danger.
