my father is a sociopath, and alcoholic, and a druggie. He played my mother and I against each other when I was younger and made my sister feel like he didn't love her. He walked out a year ago but his alcoholism has gotten horrible. The man has been stalking my family (literally) by stealing our mail, reading it, then returning it. He has been breaking into our house and leaving beer cans. I can't get over the fact he doesn't live with us anymore. I am afraid he will get so drunk he gets alcohol poisoning, has a heart attack, or one of his organs stops working. What can I do to not be so afraid? When I tried confronting him about it, he laughed and said it wouldn't happen. I still don't get along with my mother because of the damage he did. I am starting to wonder why I should even worry. He doesn't seem to care about it. I pray every night. What can I do to not be so worried!?

It sounds like you are justifyed of being scared of, and scared for, your father. Just keep in mind, you are not your father and you do not have to make the same choices he has made just because you are part of him and part of you Mom; you are also you own unique person that does not have to fall into the traps that either one of them has.
Best thing I can tell you to do is get into a support group of kids in your are that have the same problems that you do so you will realize you are not alone and give you tips of how to cope. Here is the website for Al-Anon/Al-Ateen, which help people and teens that have an alcoholic person in their life cope.
