my Dad may be an alcoholic but he still held down two jobs to get us by when my mama left when I was a baby. Not every alcoholic is a bad person or abusive. He still taught me to respect my elders and hold my own in this world. Granted it took a turn for the worst when his dad died and I've been in the hospital sitting with him several times due to it almost killing him but is a good man regardless he just doesn't know how else to handle what HE'S had to go through. Alcoholics have their own stories too. And he means the world to me and idk what I would do without him. Love you Daddy!

I was a functional drunk. Wasn’t till I became a single father that I was able to quit. My daughter asked me not to buy no beer one night. She had bad asthma and when I looked at her I saw her lying on the floor having one of her dangerous attacks and me in a chair drunk. I quit 37 years ago.

There are little eyes upon you and they're watching night and day. There are little ears that quickly take in every word you say. There are little hands all eager to do anything you do; And a little boy who's dreaming of the day he'll be like you. You're the little fellow's idol, you're the wisest of the wise. In his little mind about you no suspicions ever rise. He believes in you devoutly, holds all you say and do; He will say and do, in your way when he's grown up just like you. There's a wide-eyed little fellow who believes you're always right; and his eyes are always opened, and he watches day and night. You are setting an example every day in all you do; For the little boy who's waiting to grow up to be just like you.

When I see my son start becoming reserved and not laughing like a child should, this song always reminds me to straighten up. I don't drink but a couple beers a year, but this song doesn't necessarily have to be about being drunk. As parents we all need a reminder to walk a little straighter.

My dad has struggled with drugs my entire life. I remember seeing him OD’d on the floor as a child MANY times. I remember hearing this song as a child and thinking about him and how badly I wanted him to get sober. I’m turning 20 this year and he’s still struggling. I love him dearly and don’t want to lose him. I just wish he’d stop. But as I’m starting my family I never want my children to have to say walk a little straighter. I’ve never tried any drug because I’ve seen the effects. I want my children to feel safe.

My son stood up to his abusive father after 14 yrs of taking more than any child should. (He was protecting myself & his lil sister). Though his father didn’t drink all the time, it was enough. More than enough. And of course he had an abusive father too. But my son ... I was so proud of him going chest to chest w him, telling him HE HAD ENOUGH. He said to his father the exact same words he’d heard so many times before: “If you ever touch me or my sister or hurt Mom again, I WILL beat YOU within an inch of your life. You always said you were bigger, meaner, tougher than me but truth is you’re NOTHING! Go ahead dad, bring it on”! ✋🤚My son said, shoving his chest toward his father. (I had been extremely ill w Lupus since my pregnancies but now miraculously in remission). His dad turned around & left, FOREVER! We just finished a 3 year divorce which he fought me for custody! (this guy is a great actor, would win an academy award). He APPEALED our divorce to the Supreme COURT & I just won 3 weeks ago. Now I am trying to help my teens.

When I first heard the song, I gasped for breath. I wondered if whoever wrote the song heading on me personally, and had known my dad. I also waited by the door for him to come home. He would also passed me bye go straight to the refrigerator, grab his bottle and sit down in the chair. He pretty much disappeared after that. He was there, physically, but not mentally or emotionally. My entire childhood was this way. I was never able to get close to him. I was the oldest, and my brother and sister halfway through their childhood got to know him sober. Because eventually he did quit drinking. We get along and I think you trying to make up for lost time. I don’t hold a grudge and I let him try to make up for it. At least he quit drinking. And I’m proud for that because so many don’t I know this because I’m a hospice nurse. I see many people dying of cirrhosis.

His heart is hurting for him, he always says "My dad is in a place to get better." except hes been out of rehab for 3 months and hasnt called his son. Dayton tells people his dad loves his whiskey, and used to take him for walks to get it from the gas station. He never can be sober. i just wish he would get better for my son.

My brother is facing the option of getting his pancreas removed and possibly not being able to eat food for the rest of his life because his pancreas is so damaged from alcohol. please, Please, PLEASE don’t look at this as shaming him, I’m proud of him because he quit drinking in 2020 and hasn’t touched a drop. This is written in hope of reaching people who think they might need to quit drinking, please do it before your family has to watch you suffer like he is. He’s my baby brother and nothing has, nor ever will, made me love him less. I’m just terrified of the thought of him not being here anymore. He’s 9 years younger than me, I should be leaving before him but we don’t get to choose that. Choose sobriety, choose life and that’s the best gift you can give your family.

My dad was an alcoholic all my life. A lot of rehabs and sober homes but never got him off it. I remember we were watching this video and when the dad gave him a pocket watch he went and got me the pocket watch he always carried around. I was maybe 7 or 8 when that happened and only got a few more years with him after. It’ll be 10 years since he passed this September. Still have that pocket watch in my truck.

This song really shows what it's like living with an alcoholic. My stepfather is an alcoholic, and even though he has made many mistakes I have never stopped loving him. He stopped drinking about a year ago, and by the Grace of God he's stayed sober. I think a real turning point for him was when I came home about two years ago and he was lying, unconscious, on the back porch. I had to drag him inside and give him water until he recovered. It was hot outside and he was drunk, and passed out on the stairs. He was there for three hours before I got home. Something about having your 13 year old stepdaughter drag you inside tends to show you that you need to change. It took several tries, and many nights shivering under the blankets, hoping against hope that He would make it till morning alive, but he's now one year sober. Through all that, we still love him and I know he loves us. to all the alcoholics that think you can't get sober, you can. Don't let alcohol be the reason your life ends too soon!

He's made promises to drink less or even quit but my faith in him has pretty much dried up because I'm 23 now and all I hear are empty promises. I love him, and he's the only dad I've ever known. But He's shown me what not to do, what not to look for in a partner for life.

My stepdad loves me to death but from the minute he gets home from work and the minute he goes to sleep. He's got a drink in his hand. I've never seen the liked of it. I love that man to death but I'm worried about him as well.

This song goes to show that everyone has a past & anyone can get through it. For those of you that don't know, his dad was really a drunk. Billy ended up living with another family because of this! His first CD is dedicated to his "claimed" brother Allen. Allen is my x grandpa!

Everyone does, even those of us who aren't famous. My Mom spent much of my youth in a haze...came to my HS sporting awards ceremony in a haze and I was so mortified that people actually had to see it. The haze will never go away. I never drink..my kids will never have to worry about that.

I use to blast this song when I was about 10. I'd go see my dad for a weekend visitation, and I played this on guitar for him. (at the age of 10). he chose beer over his children. I love him so much, and always will. but he's not a good man. I haven't seen him in 8 years. if he had been in my life, I might not have got raped by his drinking buddy, my brother might not have drowned when he was 4, and I would have someone to call dad. occasionally, I go over to the home I grew up [my moms house] to do yard work, and I'll find an old empty Busch beer can in the woods. I always think of him, and this song plays in my head. if your out their daddy.. I love you, and always have. I forgive you. I only hope your doing well, and have managed to kick the can. if you haven't, I still love you. perhaps you'll find peace in the next life.

My father was a drinker and abandoned the family along with his kids from a prior marriage for multiple other women. He died young never and bothered to know his own children. The damage done to the family can't be measured. I chose not to drink in my mid 20s and was determined to be present for my girls who are great adults and made be a grandfather. In the end it was his greatest gift to me serving as an example of what not to be. Hard song to hear but it happens often.

its astounding how often parents forget that every moment someone is watching them. Not judging them per say, but watching and looking for guidance down the road call life. All our actions are noticed and they in one way or another influence someone else. Either negative or good someone is following in your footsteps be it your children, your friends, or a stranger that passes you by. Know that those who strive for the stars may never notice the light they shine on others, but the good you do will be noticed whether or not you do it. But unfortunately any little thing you might do for whatever reason if its seen as bad more often then not people will pick up on that quicker than the good. Because humanity is always looking for some way to destroy each other or bring them down a notch.

Most that grew up with an alcoholic parent can relate to this. Forget the nurturing, maybe - just maybe you'll find that as an adult. But generally without a positive role-model for a husband or wife, you'll just find the same kind of person who scared you through childhood. My father didn't make it to my graduation. He died from his illness before then. I've learned and tell others, your parent(s) may have stole your childhood, but it's your choice to allow them whether or not to steal your adulthood. I promised myself I wouldn't and I'm not. God Bless All Adult Children of Alcoholics and Other Substance Abusers!

This song hits me on so many levels. My daddy isn't completely in my life. I love him so so much but he's never really been a father figure to me. He missed my high school graduation & didn't wanna be at my wedding (he never said it but I could tell). We barely speak now & it hurts me. When I have children I'll never treat them that way. Daddy I love you, nothing will ever change that. I know we'll never have that close bond & I'll never be a daddy's girl (even though I'm your only daughter). It kills me knowing that, but I guess we were never meant to be close. I'm sorry.
