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
I agree, your life sucks 35 365
You deserved it 3 523

Same thing different taste

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

I know the feeling of addiction,Just get the help you need I hope it works out for the best...

Don't listen to your Dad. Most importantly don't give up and stay strong. Your doing a great job already!

I'll save you a seat at AA. Congrats on sobriety!

That's just an incredibly awful response. Stay strong! I wish you the best.

Should have told him after you sought help. Isn't that part of the 12 step program anyway? Less talking, more doing - i.e. DOING your treatment.

I say good on you for admitting the problem exists and finding the strength to seek help. please don't let that comment from your father put you off. best of luck op
