Hi Guys
Share from your experience as to what were the reactions at your home when your parents came to know about it?
Were they like "Oh! my god! Our son is an alcoholic" or was it take it easy attitude because this is the age.
My dad has drank for over 50 years but looks down on me because I've been in trouble and he hasn't.

Well thats always been the problem everywhere. Our parents often compare our lives with their own lives and generally try to give up an upbringing which is the most ideal in their sense. And I totally disapprove of it.
My parents were very disappointed when they heard that I was alcoholic but then they really help me to recover and supported me. I really thank GOD for giving me such a wonderful parents.

My parents do not yet know. In fact I am not sure I will ever tell them, I will just seek help and get it over with. I do not live at home so they don't see my drinking.

Ok guys. Just imagine and tell as to how your reactions would be when you discover your kid's alcoholic tendencies.

Well for some parents who watch their kids grow it might not be any surprise to them as they have already discovered there is some sort of problem. I think that being there for support is very important.

Yes that is most important. The child should know that he is not left alone to deak with the problem and that there is someone out there who is willing to help him out.
I don't have parents so the first part of the thread is useless for me but certain If i discover my kids having alcohol then just try to find out the amount he takes and if it normal then fine just make him understand that do not exceed that amount at any cost that could create problems then.

My son went through a "phase" as a result of getting too involved with drinking when he was a teenager. As a parent, you love your child as much when he's 19 as you did when he was 5. Seeing your child - the one who was once a bubbly, active, happy, little guy - turn sullen and angry or else being all "drunked up" or "drunked down" is heartbreaking.
You look at your child, who is guilty of nothing more than being stupid enough to start drinking for fun as a teenager, and you think, "This is not what I wanted for you." You think of the future that you had imagined for you little boy back when he was five or eight, and you realize that it doesn't look like that's the future you had hoped you could guarantee him.
You are willing to do whatever it takes to help you son or daughter, but you don't know what you can do; because when it comes down to it its the person, himself, who has to get himself out of it.
You can look at your grown child and know that even if he manages to pull himself out of it it will always be a factor in his life. Worse, sometimes going through one of those "phases" as a young person can hinder that person's potential for the best life he would have otherwise had.

Drinking from small ages is very dangerous but the first one to help the children are their parrents , they have to discuss with about the effet of alcohool on their bodies.
