Alcoholic Father

My father is a recovering alcoholic. He has been sober for about 12 years. Lately he has been drinking again, and I'm worried. He says he'll stop, but I know that it is a decease and that it isn't that easy. What can I do to help him? ADVISOR REPLIES: I know you are worried about your father and I would be too so talk to your mother about it. Talk to any adult that you can. Someone is bound to help him before he gets started again. See there are many other people in the same case as you and they can go to places to help them. See if a teacher could help you out in any way.- Jen My father is an alcoholic too and he goes to Al-Anon. Although he still drinks, it has helped him a lot. I go to Alateen and this helps me too. I am sure you will find an AA group or Al-Anon group in your area so you can help him. Here is a number to call to find the nearest Al-Anon group near you: (757) 563-1600. Hope this helps!- LeAnne
