my dad, he's drinking again and i sound like such a kid about it because im so depressed about it. see i knew he didnt stop but i confronted him and he promised he would, AND I BELIEVED HIM!! HOW COULD I BE SO STUPID?! then he had to go help out our grandparents in florida for a month and came back. a couple days later i come into the living room in the morning and plop down in "his chair". my mom was in the other chair on her lap top. anyways i hear this pop and she looks up. i look down to see that ive just sat on an EMPTY vodka bottle!
so i toss it at her because she was like "what was that" and i i was pissed. she looked at it in shock and i snatched it and went to my parents bedroom. i then THROW it at my sleeping dad and he wakes up and is like "what?" i just stomp out of the room. then my mom had to take my to my classes and she said she gave him a lecture when he got home. i believe that but i think she's in denial because if me or my sister says something accusingly of him drinking she has an excuse im sooooo depressed because i trusted him that he would stop because hes killing himslef and i need him to be here! but i know he hasnt and im pretty sure hes STILL drinking and i dont think i can ever believe a word that come out of his mouth! sorry im crying really bad right now so i guess thats the end of my rant thanks for reading.....

I am in a quite similar situation to this. Although the person isn't a blood relative she has been a second mother to me for nearly 10 years. I know she suffers from alcoholism and she's tried and tried to get better but she continually falls back down. I know this isn't the nicest thing to say but it might be best if you don't fully trust your father, keep your guard up a little. This is something that doesn't have a right or wrong solution, you just have to find the best fix for you. It hurts alot but you've got to remember that alcoholism is a disease that you must work on constantly. So keep your guard up a little but make sure you do your best to support him through it. Having someone there for you is one of the best things.
If you ever need an ear, I'll gladly lend one :)

my dad is an alcoholic as well. He went to prison for another DUI and wrote me a letter while there telling me how he'd changed and was going to finally be a real dad to me... My sis and I got excited and made him dinner and had a little "welcome back" party planned the day he got out, he went out to the bar instead of coming home... They can't change b/c we want them too...they have to really want it and as hard as that is to accept thats the way it is. He's been to AA, all sorts of classes and stuff like that but he doesn't want to stop so none of it works. I'm sorry you're dealing with this as well... you're not alone though

I grew up with alcoholics so I totally understand. My uncle started drinking heavily at 12 it took him until 40 to get sober it's now been 12 years. But I know it seems like he can never get sober, my mom is still drinking, I've thrown stuff at drunk family members, kicked them when there passed out, now that I'm older I know that there not picking alcohol over me, they have a disease, that makes them lie about drinking and say they'll stop, when they know they won't right away. In time you will let go of the anger, your dad is not fully capable of loving people like you and I can, right now, but I'm sure he loves you in his own way as much as he can. ps when I find beer cans in the cupboard where we keep light bulbs or whine bottles in the bath room I still get pissed lol.
