Drug Intervention: Alcoholics and Drugs People. Please Answer.?
Question by Anonymous T: Alcoholics and drugs people. please answer.?
My dad is a pretty deep alcoholic… and my sister does, not a lot, but a fair amount (that i know of) of drugs, and she always comes home high or drunk. I now have to live in an apartment with my father, because he can’t make the house payments we need. He has a good job, and he is good at it. My dad makes maybe 3.1 to 5.4 g’s a month (commission)
idk. i guess im just startin to get depressed with it. I’m independent, meaning i do all my school work by myself, and until recently i have maintained at least a 3.7 avg, but now i have a 3.2
im a freshman, and i guess they all are affecting me, but im not to sure. I love my family, and i dont want to turn either of them in, but im thinkin about callin my dads brother and doing an “intervention” with him to see if we can get him into AA meetings… my dads a good guy too. he fought for 4 years with the court for custody over me, and he won. cost him a lot. im thinking that maybe all that stress caused him to drink more… does anyone have
any suggestions?
im 15, a freshman, a guy, pretty popular, but not to popular.
but thanks to this apartment ordeal… im to afraid to have friends over, and its making me anti-social. can anyone help??
please… im desperate. i had to deal with this from my mom (who i told i refuse to see until she gets help, and i meant it. i literally dodged her when i saw her at my grandparents and left)

Drugs and alcohol, Baby! I feel that should be an Al Davis quote, but it isn’t.

you need to locate and get involved in ALNON. They are the only ones trained to help you.
Call your uncle and maybe you and he can sit your father down and talk to him and get him help. Wait til he has not drank for a while (hours if possible) and tell him with your uncle that u r worried and that he needs help. AA does work.
talk to your dad and let him know how it makes you feel when he does those thing. You can’t make anyone go to aa. they have to want to quit or become sober. If he want to do that then you could help him find a place to better himself. All you can do is be there for him. If he doesn’t quit then thats on him and not you. It is really hard to quit when your addicted to something like drugs or alcohol. Don’t lecture him and force him to do anything, hes a grown man and what he does is all on him.
call your uncle first. see if you can stay there with him until things get straightened out and yes try to get them both help if you can. nothing you do or have ever done is a reason or excuse why someone starts drinking more. he is in trouble and needs help. my sons father died at the age of 33 from alcohol posioning.
You should try and contact Ala-teen. It’s a support group for children of parents with substance abuse problems. Be strong honey, it gets better. Know that God is always listening. Get on your knees and pour you heart out to Him. It will make you feel better. I grew up in a really similar situation. This too shall pass. Keep your grades up and when you are old enough, you can move on your own or go off to college.
Screw this god thing. Seriously, talking to a walk on your hands and knees isn’t going to get you anywhere. And don’t move in with your uncle, that would be a ungrateful thing to do to your dad when he fought for you for 3 years. I would get my dad to enroll in those teen/parental drinking/drug help programs. You on the other hand need to take care of your self. Get your grades up, get into a good college, get a good job and let your dad retire at a early age so he wont have so much pressure to deal with. We can talk more on msn if you want. Email me if you want to talk. Good Luck ;D
Intervention and alanon.
I doubt your dad knows what his lifestyle choices are doing to you. An intervention would change that and give him the opportunity to change before he loses you.
Alanon will give you the personal support to deal with all you’ve been thru, and in any 12 step program “what you say there stays there.:” BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY nothing you did, or he did for you, caused his drinking. THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT
Find an Ala-Teen chapter and get some counseling. Talk to the counselors or nurse at your school.
Yes, talk with your dad’s brother and explain to him what you are seeing, and see if he can get through to your dad… but realize that if your dad doesn’t think he has a problem, he won’t try to make any changes.
Find some people you can hang out with… go to their house and study in peace and all that.
Your goal is to grow up and get out of your dad’s house.
You only have 3 years to go before you are 18, then you can leave without any repercussions. I would suggest that you let that be your drive in life. You need to make your grades your top priority, and graduating with good grades.
When you hit 16 you can start working part-time to build a resume and to bank some savings so you can move out.
i would call your uncle and talk to him i am sure he will do intervention to get both your sister and dad help and maybe your uncle can reach them to the point of getting help but you are going to have to be the one to make the move and you are going to have to be strong within yourself to get them to the point of recovery.
also there are rehab you and your uncle can try to get them there and they will help them get the help they need and i am sure you uncle will know what to do
i wish you the best of luck with the ones you love
