Today, I caught my dad sneaking a drink of whiskey outside, shortly before my wedding. I asked if he was seriously getting drunk at a time like this. He looked at me and scoffed, "It's the only way I'm gonna get through this stupid shit." FML

Today, I horribly lost a game of basketball against my dad. It wouldn't have been so humiliating if he hadn't been piss drunk at the time. FML

Today, I thought it would be a good idea to sneak out of work early and pay a little visit to the pub. I ended up staggering home, drunkenly making myself a nacho cheese dorito milkshake with the blender, then promptly puked my guts out all over the kitchen table. FML

Today, my dad asked me if I'd started smoking, I gave him a big speech about how I never have and never will. Two hours later, he found my stash of cigarettes under my bed. FML

Today, I woke up with a vicious hangover. It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't woken up to dozens of cans strewn all over the floor. I don't remember buying half the store's supply of pork and beans. FML

And if it was the other way round- you'd be a great parent. What a shame ;)

As someone who had an alcoholic mother, this makes me sad for the daughter. Other things have probably happened before this. I hope you look into recovery options. If it's real addiction no one can get yourself there except you. My mum did and failed several programs, but after my dad had a heart attack, which she felt responsible for stressing him, she developed a complete aversion to alcohol, and she's been grand for 4 years.
