Today, I had an hour-long massage, meditated for while and was finally feeling good. Then I had to call an ambulance for my idiot father who had managed to get alcohol poisoning. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad finally met my girlfriend. Unfortunately, he was driving the ambulance that she was in, due to severe alcohol poisoning and was on the way to the hospital to have her stomach pumped. FML
Today, my father got drunk and became crazy. He just kept talking nonsense and swaying while walking. It seemed like he was going to vomit. I hate him being like this. FML
Today, I had to pick up my dad because he was too drunk to drive home. Drive his wheelchair home, that is. FML
Today, I had to leave my ACT prep class ten minutes in to pick up my drunken father from his best friend's baby shower. I picked him up along with a bill for the damage. FML
Today, my long lost father came to visit me. He got drunk, then tried to beat me up. My neighbor called the police, and as soon as they got there, my father yelled, "Help! This man tried to stab me!" The sad part is, they believed him. FML
Today, my dad got drunk and played a practical joke on me; a practical joke that resulted in my knee being broken. Now, I'm sitting in a hospital bed all alone while my dad hunts for "hot nurses". FML
Today, I drove 10 hours on a broken foot to get away, because my drunk dad decided to shove me to the ground multiple times, and now I have to get fusion surgery on my foot. I also found out he’s trying to get me arrested for burglary. FML
Today, as usual, my mom got shitfaced and started berating me for something. This time, it was for missing a therapy appointment. Not only am I unable to drive, it was her appointment. For her alcoholism. FML
Today, my father got out of rehab for his alcoholism. This would be great if he hadn't started drinking the moment he got home. FML
Today, I was at my boss's house for a company BBQ. Earlier I had taken muscle relaxants to calm my lower back pain. After a few drinks it was clear the alcohol and medication did not mix. I woke up few hours later to find out I had stripped naked and jumped into the 4-foot cake before passing out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Anyone who says OP is selfish has obviously never lived with someone who has alcoholism. It's extremely stressful, especially when they refuse to admit they have a problem and won't get help. And since OP is the one who had to call the ambulence I'm guessing she's also the one who usually ends up caring for his drunk ass when he's had a few too many. It's completely unfair for the father to put all that responsibility on his child, if anything I'd say he's the selfish one.

So a man walks into a bar... ...his alcoholism is destroying his family.

um....maybe not...sounds like Dads doing a good job ruining her life already. Irresponsible alcoholic parents do that, you know. She'd be better off without him, I promise.

Is it just me, or does the first half of this FML seem a bit over done?

everyone here assumes that her dad acts the same as ur dad would with a drinking problem, some people r idiots and u would bitch at the op if she was his wife sister brother or friend. either its his fault. We dont know at all what the op's dad is like he could get arrested all the time for public intoxication and other alchohl related stuff

Alcohol poisoning? Idiot father. I had to deal with an alcoholic stepfather for a few years, and talk about stressful. FYL op, because apparently he wanted to reach the all-time high score with booze at his family's expense.

she comes off sounding like it was her college roomate getting drunk and ruining her night of partying. if dad is an alcoholic, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! (if he is even an alcoholic.. i know a couple and they dont get alcohol poisoning.. college freshmen do) talk to mom, talk to your siblings, other family members, anyone who cares about him and get him some help. does he realize how his drinking is affecting you? why are you bitching to FML and not addressing this with him? how were you able to achieve your zen like state with your father in this condition? i think thats whats bringing on the chorus of "selfish bitch" chants. that and the lack of background information.

1. No, she doesn't. Have you ever lived with an alcoholic parent? I bet you haven't so you have no idea what it's like. 2. If her dad is the alcoholic, maybe she did try to do something about it. You can bring a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. The dad needs to want to get help in order to start changing his life. 3. Just because you know a couple who don't get alcohol poisoning, doesn't mean NO ONE over the age of 25 gets alcohol poisoning. I don't know anyone personally over that age who had alcohol poisoning, but I know damn well it's possible. If you consume too much booze, that's what happens. Those people you know simply don't pass that limit. 4. Maybe he does realize it's affecting his family. But maybe he doesn't care. I've seen that happen. 5. Maybe she had addressed it with him to no avail. She has every right to post on FML if she feels it's an "FML moment". 6. Maybe he was sober for a while and started binge drinking again. Maybe her massage made her forget all her problems. Typically, they're meant to induce relaxation. How do you relax? Forget all your problems for the time being. 7. She isn't a selfish bitch. The father is a selfish asshole because he can't control himself and doesn't care enough to get better. This is evident in the fact that HE KEEPS DRINKING TO THIS POINT.

at #98, youre a total loser for writing such a long ass message. You must be unemployed.

99 - That took me all of two minutes to type. Please tell me how taking two minutes out of my hour of spare time today tells you I don't do anything with my life.

#99 If you think what she wrote is a "long ass message" simply because it's longer than a half-assed sentence or two, then I'd hate to see how long it would take you to write a paper.
