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

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

umm... AA and NA and all just annoyed me at first... it still kinda does... but rehab? Theres lots of day treatment programs here in Canada (where its just kinda like a walk-in counselling place; its called Daytox here in Vancouver)... check other addictions services places out... because the problem with rehab is that you end up meeting other people that have much more serious issues than yourself but realize they're just as cool a person as you, so when you do have that next binge, the urge to experiment chimes in louder and louder each time... I've been to rehab 5 times, my predicament got worse and worse each time I went (how harshly I relapsed after being clean for a while)... so I'd say: make a list of all the normal healthy shit to do and force yourself to cycle through them instead of turning to the mind/mood-altering substances... :) and since you're a prospective sorority girl, message me...

fyl for your dad being such an ass, and fyl for all the stupid ******* worthless responses you've gotten. Good for you for recognizing you have a problem. I would suggest talking to a counselor since you're clearly in school, I'm sure they can help you get set up with AA or something similar.

The first step is admitting you have a problem and you did that. It really sucks that your family can't be there for you but please get yourself some help. Good luck!
