Another vote for Al-anon, support for those affected by a family members alcoholism. Helps bring some realism into what is achievable and how to cope with the fall-out, plus the difficult feelings of family members having to watch the self-destruction of the alcoholic person.

An update ,,
For all those that would like to know , My former good friend , and now , girlfriend !,,, Wooo Hoooo !!!!!! who was having the post referred to problem , is , as she always does , dealing with it in a very methodical and well logged way now , she didn't rush back to Scotland , she stayed here , and has a constant and friendly contact with her dad ,, she is part of a very loving and close family , and is lucky to have a very protective ". Big " younger brother , who along with his wife , who is the carer for my g/f dad , both live in close local proximity to her dad , so she is constantly updated on his condition and general well being .
Her dad is following the usual addicts yes/no way of dealing with his problem , but at least after tests to see how his organs etc are coping with the long term abuse of them , the results would appear to excellent , and has told him that all are in perfect order ! Whether this news will be used in a good way or not ,is, as all will know , entirely up to himself ,,
Many thanks once again ,, Regards , steveiem ,,

Thanks for the update, Stevie.
Alcoholism is a dreadful disease. I've worked with many addicts, and I reckon alcohol is harder to kick than heroin (possibly because irt's mre easily available, I guess, and the temptation is there every time you walk into a supermarket or corner shop).
I wish your new girlfriend and her dad all the best, I hope he realises he's got to stop. It's great that the drink hasn't affected his health too badly, but he needs to know that doesn't mean he can just carry on.
