Im scared to answer this question but I will tell you this!.!.!.My dad was an alcoholic for 40 years drank drank drank kept the cup ontop of the gallon of seagrams gin!. One day he decided that he was going to quit just like that he quit okay and his stomach started inflating getting bigger and bigger so he goes to the doctors and the doctors didnt know what it was first they said serosus of the liver, then they said pancriatic cancer, they even said tuberculosus my whole family had to come from out of town to get tested it wasnt that, they finally said he was going to die and he had 2 months to live they set up the bed and everything they were giving him medicine that made him so skinny and he was weary and didnt know what was going on, so you know whAT he said if im gonna die im gonna die he stopped the medicine completely and he is still with us today healthier than he was before!. So you know what doctors dont always know what they are talking about!. I think about it like this once you have been drinking for so long the alcohol takes over a chemical in your body, if you just stop cold turkey that chemical is not there anymore and what happens you get sick!. Its weird Www@FoodAQ@Com

He has to make the choice to quit drinking!. You can pray for him and encourage him to go to AA meetings!. Try to remind him how much he is hurting his entire family, but do that when he is sober (or somewhat lucid if he is always drinking)!.

The encouraging thing is that the liver is the toughest organ that we have!. Even if only 50% of the liver is functional, he will be fine in a few months as long as he stops drinking! Even if the liver is damaged more extensively than that, all hope is not lost! The liver is extremely resilient, but he has to stop drinking before the damage is completely irreversible!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your dad has a serious addiction, and unless he wants help, there's nothing you can do!. He has to want sobriety!. You wanting it for him is not enough to make him stop!.I sympathize with you!.!.!.it's heart breaking to watch someone you love kill themselves slowly with alcohol or drugs!.

Just know that there are plenty of teens out there going through the same pain!. Look into joining Al-Anon!.!.!.!.now they even have Alateen (for teens)!. They have chats, online support groups and meetings that will help you find hapiness, whether your loved one is drinking or sober!.!.!.
