My dad is an alcoholic?




Hi I am a 22 year old girl who has a dad that is an alcoholic. He has been drinking ever since I've been alive and he is now breaking down and realizing his problem.

Only thing is he doesn't have enough money or insurance, neither do I. The other night he told me he didn't drink all day or night and he was going through horrible withdraws.

I'm scared for him. And don't really know what to do. What are the chances of cold turkey? Is that his only option.

Desperate help!

Please respond!

Alcohol Withdrawal is Difficult
by: Ned Wicker

Alcohol withdrawal is very difficult and sometimes FATAL, so your dad MUST seek medical help. A trip to the emergency room might be in order. Once he is out and through detoxification, he can turn to Alcoholics Anonymous for help.

He should go to meetings, get a sponsor and start working the 12 Step program. It doesn’t cost any money, but if he works the program, it will work, as it has for millions of people over the last 70 years.

You also can use some support, so I recommend you turn to Al-anon, an organization dedicated to helping daughters just like you. You need to learn how to help him.


Understand that alcoholism is a brain disease, so your father doesn’t have complete control over his drinking. The disease is powerful, which is why a program for him is necessary to rebuild his life and get back on the right path. You can play a huge part in that.

Encourage him to seek medical help, then call AA and get him to go to meetings daily, "90 meetings in 90" days is often the most helpful.
