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

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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

First I thought it said "hugging a bear." I was highly confused.

for anybody who may be interested: in the brain of an alcoholic there is a chemical called THIQ(Tetrahydroisoquinoline) that gives the alcoholic a craving like a normal person would get if they were hungry. the big difference is when a person eats, they feel full. with THIQ, the alcoholic is never full.

It's a chemical common to many addictions. Food addicts also show elevated levels of it.

That's really sad, OP. I have a good friend who's dad is an alcoholic. It's tough to watch. I hope things can get better for your family.

I can't bring myself to say anything snide or sarcastic here. All the idiots saying "AA is for quitters! omg I'm so funny!" obviously have no idea how alcoholism ruins lives and families. I realise that no one wants to read a serious comment (especially from me) since this is supposed to be a light-hearted site, but that kind of attitude pisses me off.

Correction: "...that kind of attitude off of me pisses." You know what they say about prepositions...and none of that "pisses me off, jerk!"

@71, your joking... right? even such a banal attempt at a joke is bad enough, pedantic and deplorable attempts at trying to be smart is pathetic. you have alot to learn, hopefully you dont hurt too many people while learning it.

**** me sideways. We are in such a dire need for a sarcasm font, and someone's in need of a rectal relaxant...

Durpy, thanks for the correction. I never knew the grammatically-correct way to say that. Now I do!
