what do you do if your father drinks cans of alchohol everyday?

Answer 1

if its a problem talk to him about it .

Answer 2

Guess you have a problem with it. You don't go into details,but if you are saying that he is an alcoholic then it is an illness which can be treated but not cured.Also as someone else has pointed out,he needs to want treatment himself.I went out with an alcoholic for some years and it is very hard especially if the person who is drinking blames you for it.(This is just part of the illness)It can affect your own confidence etc.I recommend you contact AL-Anon as suggested by someone.I found them very helpful and supportive.ie.I had got round to believing it was my fault but after talking to other people in the same situation I felt as though I was actually normal.You don't give any idea of your age either-if you are still a teenager(or younger)there is a group called Al-ateen also accessible through Al-Anon.Their phone number will be in the phone book but try to make your call when your dad isn't listening.My boyfriend got nasty when he heard me talking to them.I think the calls are free.Good luck.Hang in there.

Answer 3

There is nothing you can do. You can't help someone if they don't want to be helped. Maybe one day he will admit he has a problem and you can point him in the direction of AA. Until then you just have to let him live his life. Interfering will only cause trouble.

PS My husband who is a recovering alcoholic said that you should join Al-Anon which is a support group for families and friends affected by alcoholism.

Answer 4

this is a problem that can only be solved by your dad i used to drink everyday aswell it blocks your problems out what HE needs to do is get himself to the doctors first then he needs to adress his problems in a group of people like A A im now one of those people who help others don't go on at him about his drinking it just makes it worse try organising a day out to get him to see a doctor go for breakfast together then suggest the doctors i know it must be hard for you but don't worry all you can do is be there for him good luck and if you need some more help e-mail me good luck and god bless

Answer 5

This is a toughie,and I know exactly what you're going through. You're going to have to talk to him bluntly about this. He'll make excuses,claim he doesn't have a problem,promise to drink less,etc... Tell him you won't stand for empty words or promises and you want him to see the doctor and get help.
I won't lie-it's not going to be easy. He'll have mood swings and often feel ill. He'll blame you for this-he'll blame everybody but himself,really. Don't give up on him-support him,remind him you love him.

Answer 6

Answer 8

The only thing you can do to encourage him to stop is to help him reach a social, spiritual and emotional bottom. Only then will he be willing to change. Remember, alcoholism is the only disease that tells us we don't have it.

If you can manage to get him arrested and put in jail for something he did while drunk, that should help a lot.
