Today, I came home and saw on our fridge, "Please don't drink anymore, I really worry about your health" written by my 7-year-old daughter. I figured she wouldn't ever find out, so I opened the fridge. Then I found another note on a can that said, "So you're going to drink anyway?" FML

ha what a smart kid too bad shes to young to know that ,that aint gonna stop him. Its a nice try though.

Wow! We have a bunch of judgmental ones on this post! One, you don't know how much he does or doesn't drink. Kids are taught that alcohol is bad, period, any alcohol in any amount is wrong to them! Although he may very well be an alcoholic or someone who does drink too much and it is affecting his health and therefore DOES need to stop drinking and seek help, the daughter may also have been making assumptions based on what she learned at school or from other adults that don't approve of alcohol. My dad drank alcohol of some kind, usually a mixed drink, ONE sometimes two most evening when I was growing up, and at a very young age I thought that was ALOT, I thought that him drinking everyday (or almost everyday) ONE drink was a problem because SCHOOL taught me that! In all of my life I saw my dad drunk 3 times, all at social situations and only 1 of those times was he heavily drunk. So although for the kid to write notes leads one to believe he has a problem, you don't know the real story. I personally wouldn't post it if I WAS an alcoholic, but if I DIDN'T have a problem, I would have, thinking it was a very cute and sweet thing of her to do!

As a Teenager of an Alcoholic, and as one who grew up in 12 step meetings, I highly suggest A.) Get your ass to an AA meeting B.) Get your spouse to an Alanon meeting and C.) Get your kid to an Alateen meeting Growing up in Alateen I know kids as young as 4 who know theres a drinking problem with their parent. I started Alateen when I was 7, so your kid is at the right age. Your kid will be grateful, and easier to deal with after being in the program for a while. And, if you start going to meetings, you can learn to take care of yourself.

and #22, Alcoholism is not a weakness, it's a disease, if this is a case of true Alcoholism, this person is powerless.
