so give her a talk about how alchohol isnt that bad for you

I remember approving this one in the hopes that everyone would say the same thing I'm thinking. Get you head out of your arse and take notice. If your 7 seven year old thinks it's a problem, then it's a problem.

i think you should take your kid's word, man

Thats rlly sweet. Call up AA

you might wanna go with what your daughter's trying to tell you, or atleast help you with.

69 has a point. My dad is the same way- he drinks almost every day but never gets drunk or abusive or anything. In elementary school, they teach you that any amount of alcohol is flat-out bad, probably because it's difficult to define "in moderation" to kids (hence teenage binge drinking). There is nothing to suggest that the OP is an alcoholic.

Dude if the first thing he does when he gets home, even before seeing his kid, is head to the fridge for a beer, he has a problem.

my mom's an alcoholic. i'm seventeen years old and it took me three years to confront her because my father wouldn't do it himself. how long has your seven year old been trying to confront you? get help.

Really. Listen to your daughter please? Children shouldn't have the burden of taking care of their parents on their backs at 7 years old. What I would have done if I were her? I would have drained all the alcohol you had into the sinks. All the money you spent on that shit? Down the drain. But seriously, she's one tough/smart/adorable/caring kid.

#12, I know alcoholism is a ~disease~ and all, but if your heart doesn't break enough at your own child leaving a note like that so that you STILL go to have a drink seconds later - yes, YDI.
