Behavior modification is hard!. Drinking is a learned behavior!. There are addiction issues,but also it is a learned behavior!. The feeling that alcohol or any other substance gives is addictive!. But, there are times ;when the individual is not under its influence; that can be used to change!. Can things can be unlearned!? No, but other things can take their place and dull the memory!.
This is the safest way to quit any behavior!. Starts with habits associated with the undesired behavior!. Smoking ,playing poker with friends, going to favorite bars, these are all kinds of associated behavior!. That is why it is hard to stop!. A change of location, friends and other associated behavior can go a long way to changing the lifeway of an individual!. Showing someone a better way does not always change behavior!. Often, only pain will do it!. Charile Sheen said that only getting to the point of going to jail really made him go to rehab!. Honestly, that may be the only thing that can motivate some people!. The best way though is still to point to other peoples mistakes and learn from them!. You don't have to burn your hand to know the stove is hot!. Tell your dad the stove is hot!. It can be the short way to changing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

YOU can't stop him from drinking!. HE has to make that decision on his own!.What you can do is make a video library of his actions when he is drunk or if you don't have a video camera then write a journal of the things he does when he is drunk!. When he is sober go over these things with him and let him know that it hurts you to see him like this!. Also let him know the harm he is doing to his body!. I know you love him but you must not believe that you can make him quit!. Only he can make that decision!. I hope it works out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The one thing you can do is threaten to leave home if he doesn't try to stop or the other way round, he has to leave if he doesn't try to stop!. The idea here is to see if he finds any value in having you around!. Sometimes we have to be cruel to be kind!. Heavy drinkers are very selfish people - they don't care about others as long as they have what they need and that's a fact!. The other kind of heavy drinker is quiet and tolerant and don't get aggravated and violent - just toddles of to a quiet place to lie down and pass out!. Think of yourself in your situation and make the decision to either leave home or kick your dad out - maybe that'll make him sit up and take notice!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Sadly, I don't think you can stop him, but you CAN go to ALA-TEEN, a support group that helps teens deal with a parent who is an alcoholic, and how to survive in that household!.
You will also meet other teens who are going through the same thing!. Surprisingly, just knowing that you are not the only one going through it, is somehow comforting!. You will likely have a mentor, someone you can call when you are in a dark time period with your father!.
There is an adult support group called "Adult children of alcoholics," so support can go on indefinitely!. May God help you through these troublesome, hard years!.

alcohol is a drug and statistical more harmful to both society and the individual than heroine or cocaine!. I don't take any drugs including alcohol but I don't judge those that do (but not in my home)!.
Most people can take a drug and not be harmed while others become addicted (predisposition at a bio-chemical level most likely)!. Your father is addicted to alcohol so it's not simply a question of him wanting to stop!.!.!.he can't stop unless he is helped!.
Do you have other family members that can help you convince him to see a specialist!? Do you have a minister or priest!?
This will not be easy for him or you but the first step is to make him understand that you love him and need him and convince him to seek help!.
Good luck guy!. I really mean it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Pingpong, if your dad doesn't see for himself he needs to stop, then there is nothing you can do to make him!. All you can do is take care of your own emotional needs!. There are organisations such as Alateen which are specifically for teens who have an adult relative with a drink problem!.
I'm sorry your dad has this problem, but he's an adult and must make up his own mind!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
