Alcohol Intervention ultimatum

My dad is a drunk how can I tell him?

My family is having an intervention for my father, and I am so done caring about him. So in the last part of what I am writing I want to write something that means I’m tired of your drinking, giving him some kind of ultimatum. Me or the alcohol dad. Your choice. In what I say I already have my quote ” drunkeness is a temporary suicide, so please drink forever” Can somebody give me another one? One that says you know what your doing, you killed all of our spirits. Now its your time to choose. thanks in advance!

I am so sorry to hear this. Kudos to you all for having the courage to have an intervention, so many families are afraid of the outcome that they just live with the alcoholism and it just rips families apart.
First things first, I hope you understand alcoholism and addictions from the addicts perspective. They don’t feel that their addiction affects anyone else, or that it should. It is a very selfish ‘disease’ and because of this, it will always come first.
Know first hand that the result may not be the one you and your family want.
Now, as for your letter, one thing alcoholics (or anyone for that matter) do not like is to be called out on what they do. It is embarrassing and forces them to see their childish ways. I would include some examples of what his drinking has done to you and your family. Showing him what he does, rather than just saying that drinking is ‘wrong’.
Instead of making him mad, just try to say, “You will never see me get married or have children because I don’t want them to see what you have done and what you do. If you do not seek help and truly stop this childish, selfish behavior, our relationship will be surface. You will never know my life, my hopes, dreams, how I like my breakfast or where I choose to go to college, etc.” Say things that will make him think.
A final sentence should be, “I love you Dad, and I really need you in my life”

You are a model. Teens are watching you and how you handle crisis situations in your life. alcohol intervention ultimatum They look at your problem solving skills and often times use them as their own. So if you solve your problems with alcohol, they may do the same.
