Supporting a Loved One to Drink Less: A Daughter’s Journey

Watching my dad struggle with drinking too much was never easy. I wanted to help, but I also didn’t want to push him away. I found that starting gentle conversations, sharing my worries without blame, and offering to do activities together that didn’t involve alcohol made a difference. Sometimes, just listening and being there for him helped him open up about his own struggles. It’s important to be patient and celebrate small victories. Encouraging healthier habits is a journey, not a quick fix, but every step forward matters. Have you ever faced a similar situation in your family?
