Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

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.

I’m 18 and for 2 months ive been working 45-50 hrs/week or more and every night i have one beer with my dad, 5-7 days out of the week. when it gets closer to evening i feel like its something i must do. i never drink more than one and rarely get drunk but could this be an early sign of alcoholism?

Answer if you (or someone you know) got rid of alcoholism, why they wanted to stop drinking excessively, and how they were able to do this.

*Alcoholism is a disease. It’s an addiction of excessive drinking that interferes with your daily life.

we have been married for 43 years. I am 60 yr old. He is a gemini which is two persons in one! he is drug and alcohol dependent. when he doesn’t have the drug you cannot talk to him or even be in the same room. So he then turns to alcohol which makes him dangerous. when he is on the drugs he is very agreeable and relaxed to live with.I have been on this roller coaster ride all these years. I DO NOT WANT to live the rest of my life like this! but I can’t seem to leave, I care about what happens to him, I’ll miss my home, I’m scared I won’t be able to support myself, I can’t live in an apartment without my animals! I don’t think I can mentally handle the separation. I will not ask him to sell the house or give me money. He has taken my sexuality away, no sex, We don’t talk unless hes high. I’ve been to counseling without success, they all want me to leave him! Someone help me, cause I can’t seem to make the decision.Then I think I’ve stood it out this long and now I’m going to leave him in our retirement years and he will die alone. As you can see I am very torn in the decision to do whats right for me! Thank you for listening.
