For as long as I could remember, my Dad has always had an extreme liking for alcoholic drinks. It was up until now that I realize it is affecting almost every aspect of his life and the lives of people around him. My Mom and I have made numerous attempts to get him to realize that he is a heavy drinker and that the reason why he has had so many health problems as of late is because of his alcoholism. It s like he tries to avoid the matter by ignoring us, changing the subject or making us feel bad for accusing him of being a heavy drinker. I have researched alcoholism for a while now and my father is already at very high risk of having a drinking disorder. He also acts very irrational when he is away from alcohol. He develops anxiety, depression, and nervousness when he is not drinking. I think that s a sign of withdrawal. I could be wrong but these all seem like signs of a drinking problem. Is there anyway to get him help? The first step for him to start healing and rehabiliting is for him to realize he has a drinking problem, right? How do we "intervene" him? Is it already too late? What do me and my family need to do to get him help?
