Well, at least you're not in denial. Go to an AA meeting. You need support and advise from people who care.

do you want to lose him? do you want to hurt yourself? do you want to die from this disease like your father did? all your answers point to NO! i agree with the above poster, please go to a local aa meeting and find a sponser. also if you can find an al-anon (adult children of alcoholics) group i really think you will figure out WHY you are an alcoholic and what you need to do to change your life! go to a meeting TODAY, you wont regret it.....i should know, 40 years clean and sober and at one point in my life i was a homeless drunk sleeping in a roll of piss soaked carpet in an abandoned building. please get help, I HAVE FAITH THAT YOU CAN DO IT TOO!!!!

Then choose to stop drinking. That is all there is to it. You don't need AA either as it will keep you in a state of victimhood and selfsihness and you will never really get to the core of why you choose to crink which probably has alot to do with your heartbreak over your dad. I am sure there is more. You need to heal those wounds. Stop running and face the pain. You ARE strong enough to deal with it.

OP, already the AA brainwashers are coming in to recruit you to their cult. Please listen before you jump from one cage into another one. Stay away from AA. These people are toxic even if they are sober. Most of them never really deal with their issues and it's because the program is faulty. Read this link: http://orange-papers.org/ and make the choices that will really serve and support you and not just group you with a bunch of selfish victims who just validate eachothers BS = AA.

^See what I mean about denial? Stay away from hangouts where you drink and stay away from those that enable your disease. They are NOT your friends!

5^ No denial because I am not and never was a drunk like you. Just watched my drunk family go to AA only to become dry and even more selfish than they were when they were drinking and it is also NOT the religious aspect that bothers me. Don't assume I'm an atheist. It's the mind controlling CULT aspect that bothers me. AA is a CULT in the way that it brainwashes it's members with lame expressions that keep them disempowered and as victims. Things such as 'fake it til you make it' and ideas such as alcoholism being a disease when it is a CHOICE! Don't be duped OP. You chose to drink because you were hurting now choose to not drink and face the pain. If you need support, get a therapist but stear clear of AA and it's program of BS.

alcoholism is NOT a disease. That is a huge LIE. It is a choice.

^It also helps if you deal with your problems instead of running away from them, to have that willpower and make that choice. I can't tell you how many sober people in AA I have seen who were STILL running away from their problems into other addictions like shopping, gambling or even being obssesed with the AA cult.

Oh God ! AA trolls. I think they plant this crap here to preach to themselves .. It's a free world and every body had different opinions. Do what you feel is right with the varied opinions on this. Keep an open mind and know you are worth it, you have options, you have to find the strength.. these haters on this have nothing to offer you in the way of help. They have no idea.. They hate AA but they give you nothing for help, tools to use or understanding... bet most of them are overweight and obese, control freaks, gambling or porn addicts who cant control their own addictions.. willpower.. yeah sure. Pray a lot, and again.. know you are worth it, we all are.

^^^You sound pretty together otherwise. You also sound like you have some class. It is a choice. It is not a disease. That crap started when our society began blaming society as a whole rather than taking individual responsibility, which was what built this country. All I can say is just quit and pull yourself up as soon as you can whenever you fall off the wagon. Set a goal of quitting and never let go of your dream. Do it until you succeed. I know you can.

AA trolls? LOL Right, that is what the dry drunk in AA calls people who are aware that AA is a cult and alcoholism is a choice. There are plenty of alternatives to AA, especially online just search (alternative to AA). Free does not mean anything. Consider using the money you used to drink to pay for your therapy or treatment. Personal responsibility will not only stop you from drinking but empower you to truly have a better life rather than just being in a cult full of disempowered selfish, self absorbed, dry drunk, victims who validate eachothers bullshit.

He has choices, either to die from it, or live on, you have choices, intervene and get him help if he wants help or buy a black dress and get ready to bury him eventually.

AA hater uses the term dry drunk.. wtf? That is an AA term. Pick and chose your belief. No such thing as a dry drunk if there is no such thing as the disease. Go play in traffic.

4^ if the term fits... and it does. So what if it is an AA term? There is no such thing as an alcoholic disease but there is def such a thing as a person who quits drinking yet goes on to choose to run from their problems via other means = dry drunk. And orange papers may be one mans opinion but he is not far off from the truth of what AA is. Just an easy link to post, doesn't mean that others don't share in his opinion. Go get a drink, you know that you are looking for an excuse...
