Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my alcoholic friend, who is now sober, told me I was a lot more fun when he was drinking. FML
Today, I came home from partying all night, having stayed completely sober. My Dad, blind drunk, told me he was proud of me for staying sober. He claims to have been sober longer than I have. FML
Today, I told my dad that I have a very serious drinking problem and that I need to go to rehab because I can't stop on my own. He told me that I just need to make new friends and suggested I join a sorority. FML
Today, my dad texted me, "I love u." I replied, "I love you too dad... are you drunk?" He answers back, "Of course I am..." My dad only tells me he loves me when he's drunk. FML
Today, my dad came home drunk and called me hot. FML
Today, my dad got so drunk that he proposed to me. FML
Today, my dad took me to a bar for my first legal drink. He quickly got "drunk" and started slurring that I was an accident, saying the only reason I'm alive is because he'd been too poor to pay for an abortion. As I started crying, he burst out laughing and said soberly, "Just kidding, son." FML
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
Today, I got a text message. It said, "I'm so drunk. What you up to, girl?" It was my dad. 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

He cares more about you being the "life of the party" than being healthy? Wow.

well, at least it wasn't anything negative? keep fighting!

I actually think it's a negative thing to say, because OP's problem isn't taken seriously.
amadeclton 27
It was incredibly negative. The OP's father is influencing their child's alcoholism.

I agree it was not a good response but at least it wasn't something like "You're less bitchy when you're drunk".

This is what I was thinking. This dad sounds like he's got some serious issues with how he views his daughter.

Sound like the dad is probably an alcoholic too. Probably doesn't want to lose a drinking buddy.

Please tell me you don't look up to this man

Father of the year ! :D No but seriously that's rude.

At least he's ok with you going out to party. I mean it's bad that you found yourself an alcoholic. Try to drink lots of water to replace the alcohol
SweetasCandy0609 28
that's the problem he isn't supporting OP at all he's saying to not quit drinking which isn't what OP needs OP needed for him to support her not tell her to keep partying.

If OP feels he is an alcoholic, his father shouldn't try to convince him to keep drinking. He should support OP

#6 do you know what an alcoholic is? Doesn't mean you like drinking. It means you can't live without it.. It's a disease. Trying to replace it with water is probably not going to cure that.

#6, Replace it with water? Are you serious? I would think addiction would at least be better understood than this.

Welcome to FML, where drinking water cures everything and everything that can't be cured by drinking water is a character flaw :D

54, FML sounds a lot like Navy boot camp.

I was trying to say that at least OP can go out to party with their parent(s) permission. Some people can't and it sucks for them. Anyway about the water, I'm not saying that water "magically" replaces the alcohol, it should be something that OP should drink more of so that there wouldn't be a withdrawal or even a mild one. Holy shit all of you are animals. ****** process the information a little bit

#70 You do realize you said replace the alcohol with water. That is not enough information and you made it sound as if replacing the alcohol with water would magicly help. Get off your high horse.

Drinking more water in no way will assist with the withdrawal. It will keep them hydrated but that's about it. It won't lessen the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. You're follow up made your initial comment more ridiculous instead of clarifying or validating it.

Not something to sit down over a beer to discuss.

"Can't we just settle this over a pint?"

Well then...not exactly the response you'd expect.
