Question by sarahsariesarah: My dad is dying of alcoholism and I need to help him, how?
He has drank all my life. my mom never knew him not drinking. It’s a case a day now for the past 5 years or so. He had a routine physical bout 3 years ago and they said he had the beginning signs of pancreatitis and should quit drinking immediately and come back in 6 months to check if the symptoms and signs improved at all. Since then, his drinking has consistently increased and he has avoided the dr at all costs. He is not the same person at all. He doesn’t remember long enough to have a conversation. He is getting senile almost at age of 45. He keeps a steady job and makes good money, he misses days and mornings here and there but makes it enough to stay employed with a state job. the second he gets home though he sucks two down like he’s waited all day for that. He won’t talk about it with anyone, is in denial and drinks and stays by himself in our family’s garage all night long and weekends. I want to commit him through the county to an impatient RX program.Is this possible?

Answer by MOM KNOWS EVERYTHING
It may be possible to have him temporarily committed to “dry out”, but it is unlikely to cure him. It sounds like he has no desire to change for himself, and if that is true, nothing anyone else can do will change him either.

I am 15 and my dad is dying of alcoholism. He is only in his late 40’s. He won’t even live to see me graduate highschool. Im crying as we speak. My dad is my best friend. I don’t know what to do. I want to show him that i really love him and care about him but can’t do it in words. I’ll cry to much and choke up and nothing will come out. So can you give me some ways to show him.

This is the only movie in which Dick VanDyke played a serious role as a unrepentent alcoholic. Does anyone know the name of this movie.
