my dad was sober for 18 years, he recently started drinking agian and im really worried.hes an alcoholic(once one always one) and hes already drinking every day and stopped going to work.he is sick however, but hes not using his time off to get better hes using it to get drunk and i hate it because he listens to loud music all night and even drives at times and hes just ugh..
he also isn't smart with his money.he uses a lot of it on beer and cigarrettes.he even took money(two coins I collect) from me without asking, he paid them back but still...i dont wanna come home from school one day to find half my stuff gone.
hes pretty much a wreck..its not bad now but i feel like its gonna get worse.i tried reasoning with him, he either gets angry or shrugs it off. -
Tell him how much you love him. Tell him that you love him and that is why you are telling him to stop. Sit down wid him and take out the root of the issue about his drinking.

What Veronica said. Do you have your mom or any other family around that could help you? He's probably not going to listen to reason, but maybe if he knew there are people who support him and will help him it will make a positive difference. At least from my experience and knowledge of the matter, people who drink are trying to get away from hardships in life, so he needs to find a way to deal with these things without abusing alcohol. If it keeps getting worse and he won't get help, maybe look for a professional that has more knowledge dealing with the problem.
I'm sorry, I know I'm not offering much help. Just remember to take care of yourself as well. -
Yeah, be careful and don't talk to him about these issues when he is fully drunk.

You just explained my step-dad only when he is drunk he used to hit me pretty badly I had to go to hospital to get stitches... anyway
I guess staying in your room is pretty much all you can do (which didn't work for me but oh well)
Perhaps trying to get your dad to stop again may help though how is the real challenge
