What should I do if my dad is an alcoholic

What should I do if my dad is an alcoholic?

when my dad was an alcoholic. I stayed away from him as much as I could. Running away from home isnt an option! Just try and avoid him. If he abuses you then you should call the cops on him. Thats what my mom did when my dad was out of control...

if your dad is an alcoholic , try to talk to him , try to get ome alone time with him , thenn say " dad , I'm worried about you drinking , I don't want anything to happen to you , I wish you would stop , I love you ' , and look in the yellow pages for a group for teenagers who deal with parents who are alcoholic , or get him to join a group for alcoholics , but if he's abusing you , call the police or go to someone you trust ( realitve , mom , favorite teacher , etc ) , don't be afraid to tell somebody , I hope you this helps you , god bless you

if you have an hour, check out an alanon meeting. there is a nationwide (may be worldwide.. I dunno) support group just for friends and family of alcoholics. they can give you some awesome advice. if you find their site online, it can tell you meeting times and places in your area.

someone close to me is an alcoholic. the first thing you need to do is confront him about it (if it's not dangerous to do so) if he's open to talking about it, then take the opportunity, after make him show you where they have anything hidden and immediately dump it down the drain. afterwards, help him find a center where they have AA meetings, and I guess the only other thing you can do is let him know you're there for support, no matter what.

hope that helps :]

my dads an alcoholic too. I just try to stay away from him as much as I possibly can. If he's someone in the house I dont go in that room unless I really have too.

mine is too..and yea I do the same thing with my dad..I just try to stay in my room most of the time when im in the house to avoid him...it sucks but its been a long struggle and in a year ill finally be out of the house and at college

anyway alcoholics rarely want to admit they have a problem and its important to try and say something to get them to get help. but in the end-they have to want to get the help. just dont judge and continue to love your father despite the choices he makes. thats the simplest way to put it.

Just stay in your room and lock your door. If you can go school and work most of the time that is also recommended. When he talks to you do not appear confrontational just try to escape his presence some how when he is under the influence.
