My goal is a CAADAC certification and I was told a masters in psychology will do the trick. Does MFT work for that?

My father is an alcoholic…plane and simple. I have done EVERYTHING since I was 7 years old to try to get him to stop drinking. NOTHING WORKS. I’m just so sick of it that I don’t know what to do because its ruining my life. I dream about this just about every night and most night I dream that I’m fighting him. Does anyone have any ideas.
I am about to start outpatient treatment for drug addiction, how do I tell my family?

I have been addicted to painkillers for over three years now, and recently it has taken complete and total control of my life. Everyday is surrounded by obtaining drugs and doing them. That is all that matters. I have lost all of my money and belongings and just want to get my life back on track.
I have decided Monday morning I am starting an outpatient treatment program to try and remain sober. I told my wonderful girlfriend and she couldn’t be happier, I am so lucky to have such a supporting woman in my life. I have kept this to myself and no one knows my addiction other then her and my dealer. I would love to tell my familty to get their support, but my family isn’t too supportive.
I feel that if I told my family they would look down on me. I don’t have the best relationship with my parents and I feel and know that they will just put me down. I want to tell them and really do need their support to recover completely. I just don’t know how to tell them?
Anyone ever gone through this, what would you suggest? Thanks.

Is anyone else dealing with a friend or family member with a cocaine addiction?

I have (or had) a friend who recently has been using cocaine. I’ve definitely seen a change in his personality. He is ADD, a bit narcissistic and constantly craves to be the center of attention. Now those traits have gotten a lot worse to the point where I can’t stand hanging out with him anymore. I miss my friend the way he used to be… can anyone relate to this?

Where can I find good and real information about drug addiction and the role that the family has?

I’m doing a paper about the different roles family members assume when one of them has a problem with drugs, so any suggestions will come handy. Thanks!
It is not about the substances, it is about how the family gets involved in the addiction and the ways they have to cover up the problem, or how they manage the situation, thanks

My sister-in-law and brother-in-law are addicted to World of Warcraft. The brother-in-law is the worst. He won’t even hang out with the family. They are both always tired and they also have two young kids. How do you go about bringing the topic up with family members but not hurting their feelings?

OK my sister has been addicted to Ambien for about 4 years now. She has through detox and rehab twice and hasnt gotten better. She is still very much addicted and supoosed to be going into another detox/rehab. She has been supposed to go nor for 2 weeks but everyday comes up with new excuse or chickens out. I have been supportive or encouraging but now its getting hard for me to be that way cause it hard for me to believe that she is actually going to go. She gets mad when I try to give her “tough love”. She gets mad that my parents and I never went to some type of counseling to learn about her problem. She says that since I have never been addicted I dont know what its like. I understand that, but it doesnt take a rocket scientist to know that its going to be pure hell to go through detox and rehab and stay clean. I just dont know what to do or say to her anymore. Has anyone been in this situation? What should I say or do? She is 34 and Im 26
