Fred-f, please keep in mind that alcoholism is a tough battle to fight. It's up to your dad to be willing to reach out and use the support in the program. Let him go on his own and others will take him under their wing. He will also benefit from getting a sponsor. That sponsor should also have their own sponsor so that the program works and the right way of help trickles down to your dad. In the meantime, get yourself to an Al-Anon group meeting. This will teach you that you need to take care of yourself and you can share your struggles with people in the same situation as you. You have no idea how alcoholism affects everyone in the circle around the alcoholic even though no other might have the problem. Go religiously yourself, every week and give it six months. As they say, if you're not happy with it, they will refund your misery. Good luck!

congratulations!!! Must remember that "relapse" is part of the recovery process. You might be interested in Alonon-for persons related to or friend of alcoholic. If you go and dont like it try another they say to try at least 3 differnt groups before deciding weather or not its for you.

Cogratulations!!! Please remember that "relapse" is part of the process. There is another group for people that are family and friends of the alcoholic, called Alanon. The general rule of thumb is to try 3 different meetings before you decide if its for you. Some meetings are better than others, I hope you try it, it'll open up your world.That is so great that you went with your father and he is still going. Another miracle in deed.
