Today, I told my Dad I was an alcoholic and had decided to seek help. His reply, "Don't stop drinking, you are the life of the party, funny and beautiful when you drink." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

I hope your not a girl

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Maybe like you he'll just have to make the brave, life changing decision to live without something for the sake of himself and those he loves. Though in this case it'll be having someone to entertain him at parties he'll be giving up. Good luck to both of you!

Better than being abusive and mean? :)

Encouraging your child to destroy their life through alcohol is mean.

Best of luck to you on your journey to get clean. It takes a lot of strength to admit you have a problem and work to better yourself. You should be proud of yourself for that.

You took a big step in realizing you have a problem and are seeking help for it. Hopefully you can surround yourself with other people in your family that will be positive, instead of being an enabler, because your going to need that positivity in months to come. Wish you the best of luck and like many people on here has said, don't listen to your dad.

Maybe your dad isn't the right person to talk to about the issue. Good for you for recognizing the problem and trying to get help though, OP. Good luck!
