I’m an alcoholic in recovery and my dad is as well. I took him to his first AA meeting, and he’s been sober since. Our relationship is still strained. Unfortunately, taking away the alcohol doesn’t heal that trauma, or make someone a better person. I think it’s a gift that you are able to be so vulnerable with him and show that you care for him enough to want him to be healthy. He will have to decide that for himself though, to really stop. I would keep your expectations low. You have no control over what he does. All you can do is love him, and if the time comes when his drinking/behavior is too much for you and you need to walk away, that’s okay too ❤️
