Today, I saw my dad chugging a beer in the garage. Why is that so bad? He was hosting an AA meeting in the basement. FML

Today, my dad decided to have a little father and daughter bonding time. Unfortunately, his idea of bonding involves him sitting around at home, getting piss drunk, and falling asleep. FML

Today, I decided to visit my dad. I haven't seen him in a while so I wanted to give him another chance to be an actual dad to me. Apparently, getting drunk and getting it on with his girlfriend while I was there was more important than spending time with his daughter, who he hasn't seen in almost a year. FML

What the…?
Today, my dad showed up at my house and offered to take me to my favorite restaurant. He drove me to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. He believes I only had my daughter, who I love with all my heart, because I drunkenly hooked up with a girl. FML

They tried to make me go to rehab…
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 confronted by my father after I got back home from a party in the early hours. He demanded to know if I'd been doing any drugs, and then decided to give me a scare lecture on the dangers of alcohol. I'd had a few beers. He had the smell of tequila on his breath. FML

This time it's personal
Today, I am completely mortified. At my father-in-law's funeral, my husband put a bottle of beer on the coffin and announced to the room his dad was such a tight-fisted sod, it was the first drink he’d ever had on him. FML

Today, I came home to find my dad drinking. Trying to be cheerful, I greeted him with a "Hi, dad!" He sighed, shook his head, and said "It hurts me when you call me that." FML

This is fine
Today, I found out that my father, who very recently lost his wife, decided that drunkenly hitting on my long-time boyfriend's mom was a good idea. FML

Today, my alcoholic dad finally came to see to my last dance recital after years of never showing up to watch me. He got kicked out of the audience for snoring too loud. I could hear him from the stage. FML

I'm sorry man. I know how horrible that can be, my mom is a recovering alcoholic as well. Try to hang in there, just offer your love and support. One day at a time. PS- Sorry to be so serious, I know fml is not the place for this but this is a very serious situation to me. :

Just wondering, if OP's dad is hosting the AA meeting doesn't that mean he is the one giving council and that he probably doesn't have an alcohol problem? (don't flip shit if I'm wrong).

It was just a beer, I see improvement

#5, What does OP stand for? I've seen it many times on here in reference to the person that submitted the FML. Thank you (:

Beer still contains alcohol and you don't have to be drunk to be an alcoholic. Drinking in secret, no matter the quantity, isn't an improvement. Also, if you're curious as to what something stands for, Google would be much faster and more effective than asking on FML.

What would make FML have a lot less useless replies that ask what certain acronyms mean is to have a reference list. I swear, every two days it's another question asking "What does OP mean?" It's obviously Oreo Piñata.

AA is for quitters anyway.

And what evidence do you have to support that claim?

Why have an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in the first place if it gives you a reason to get drunk beforehand? That's just straight up stupid.
