Listen to your child, they sure know what they're talking about.

Hi, OP. Speaking as a someone who was once the 7 year old kid suffering at the hands of daddy's drinking, I sincerely advise you to lose the habit. It spells doom in many, many ways. Besides, how hooked are you that you could so easily delude yourself into thinking she won't notice, despite the fact that (and pay attention now) she wrote a note that made it abundantly clear just how much she notices and stuck it on the fridge containing said alcohol in an attempt to get your full attention?? The worst part about living with a drunk is that they don't notice the damage they are inflicting on those around them, partly because they don't remember it. But we do. We notice and remember EVERYTHING. Whatever your situation, it must pretty tragic if your *little girl* knows it has to stop. Alcoholism destroys families. F*** your 7 year old daughter's life for having a father she feels she has to worry about, protect and attempt to heal - it's supposed to be the other way around, you selfish jerk.

When my brother died when I was a kid, my father took to very heavy drinking. It was terrifying-- my sister and I would hide up in a room with each other, scared he'd beat us or something. Drinking worries away does NOT help anything. If your 7-year-old daughter notices this problem, you should act like an actual father and get help to stop drinking. You'll end up doing some mental (if not emotional AND phsyical, depending) damage to her if you don't. **** HER life unless you don't stop drinking.

It is illegal in drink under the age of 21 in the US.

My parents both attend AA and I am proud of them for it. I can only imagine how different (in a bad way) my life would be if they never got help. I bet your daughter would respect you so much if you got the help you clearly need. Get help if not for yourself then do it for her and everyone else who cares about you.

I love your daughter. If at seven years old she is smart enough to know what's going on, please get help.

I have an alcohol and drug problem but thanks to Alcoholics Anonymous I am now 14 months clean and sober go to www.aa.org to find meetings near you I am happy for the first time in my life.

smart kid.

did this to my mom when she smoked. it worked hehe

If your seven year old notices that you have a problem, you may need some help. Please don't let her suffer for your decisions!
