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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, at dinner, I accidentally let it slip that I'd taken a small sip of alcohol a few years ago and hated it. My extremely strict parents are now trying to get me into rehab. FML
Today, my mom took me to an AA meeting because she said I needed help. I have never tried alcohol in my life, and told them this. I was then harangued by the "instructor" because apparently one of the signs of alcoholism is denial. FML
Today, after being accepted into the college of my dreams, I found out that my mom has spent all my college savings on alcohol over the years, and she says that it's my fault for not "helping her get help." 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, my once-alcoholic mom told me that she would sell me for a shot of vodka. FML
Today, I'm a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. On new years, my mom called and asked what kind of champagne I want. FML
Today, my alcoholic mother decided to finally check herself into rehab. She did it while drunk, and flirted with the front attendant. FML
Today, my parents yelled at me for coming home drunk from a party last night. They said I couldn't hang out with my best friend anymore as he's a "bad influence". He was the only one sober in our group and drove me home safely. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

if you are old enough to drink, you are old enough to check yourself into rehab

I have never seen such terrible advice for such a serious concern. Not trying to step on toes and may catch flak for the post, but alcoholism is a medically defined disease. It is beyond just drinking heavily. And while it may be fun in college, by the time you reach midlife, it is pure hell. For the poster, there are great facilities in Kansas. If this really is a problem for you that you can't just stop, continue the initiative, call them. I promise you, you won't regret it later when you look back on this. -CltCounselor

So, I'm going to go out on a limb. If you're at KU, the university really does have some good resources. Please don't let your problem get so bad you end up another tragedy like we've had recently. Seriously, go to Watkins and go to the counseling center, they'll help.

**** everyone saying alcoholism isn't a real disease or acting like it's not a serious problem. Seriously. Grow up with an alcoholic parent, study the disease, and THEN come back and say something that actually makes sense.

To get rid of a problem, you need to replace it with a lesser problem. I recommend video games.

Your dad is a real asshole! What kind of father would say that? If you know that you got a drinking problem why are you here? Go to AA. They can and they will help you. And you can't stop by yourself? That's bullshit! Get some discipline and stop drinking. Good luck.

That is a nice suggestion, you should take it on and see if it helps...If it doesn't then you can whinge like an emo.

You might want to look into alcoholics anonymous. Its completely free, but you can donate if you want. Its really helped me overcome my heroin and cocaine addiction.
