Hello Little Lady, and welcome to SR.
There's a lot you can do to help your father. The first thing is to take a little time and go thru the posts right here on this forum. You'll see a lot of experiences and suggestions on how to best help an alcoholic. Start a thread of your own so that everybody can see it and you'll get a lot more folks contributing ideas. Get your phone book and call the local Al-Anon office, find the nearest Al-Anon meeting and go. They have a huge amount of books and pamphlets specifically about alcoholics and how best to help them.
Welcome again.
Mike :-)
