Need Advice

Help??

Hi!
Ok i new to this so dont no wat im doing.
But i need advice. Im 23 and my father always had a drinking problem which resulted in my mother leaving him and me slowly leaving him as well. As of late iv had contact with him as my Granny is sick so I wanted to visit her and get updates on how she is.
Because i havent seen him in about a month i didnt know how bad he has gotten. His friend got in contact with him and it turns out my Dad is in a really bad way. He is drinking around the clock, not eating and taking too much sleeping pills. Now the friend thinks he is suffering from depression. My Dad is strong minded and never wrong. He has refused help before but his friend wants us (The friend, Dads girlfriend and myself) to sit him down and tell him enough is enough. But Firsty i dont even no what i should say to Dad to make him stop. Nothing has worked before my mother tried every thing from not cleaning up his drunken mess to treating to leave... He let her leave. What do I say to my Dad to make him see he is killing himself??
Now his friend did suggest signing him in and i said no but i think if all else fails i will have to. But i no my Dad will never forgive me.
What will i do??

It is a very tough thing to do, from a personal point of view, my Mum doesn't think she has a problem. In the end of the day, they have to want to give up for it to work, if he won't, you have to take the decision out of their hands for their own health.

Good luck
