Oh god I’m so mad right now. Where do I even start!? GAH

Ok, so to take things somewhat back in time. As some of you might know (or have read here) my mom passed away one month ago. She died of illness. After the tragedy my dad decided to quit drinking permanently, since he has been drinking for about 20 years. He wont accept any help, but he will continue to keep the urge down with pills. He quit on the spot, and has not been drinking alcohol for 1 month now. Both me and my sister are so proud of him. My strong dad.

But then, now comes the pissed off-part. My dads doctor prescribes him his pills of course. These pills are very addictive, but rather my dad being addicted to these pills and staying sober, than being off the pills and drunk 24/7. Anyways. He calls on my cellphone this evening at 1800, sounding very stressed out. He tells us that his doctor all of a sudden has stopped prescribing him pills. He decided this on his own, on a friday evening. What the fuck is this? My dad is dependent on these pills to keep sober, he has not touched alcohol for 1 month and is starting to get better.. and then his doctor does this?! Is he trying to sabotage my dad? The easiest my dad could do was take a taxi down town and get into a pub and start drinking again. But he didn’t. He was strong, called me and my sister and asked for help. We called doctors/emergency rooms/nurses like mad people to get them to prescribe him some pills. They were very helpfull and couldn’t understand why his doctor did this. So they got someone to drop by and give him pills that will last over the weekend. I don’t know what I would do if they would refuse to help.

Of course, it “ended” well. But still, this was nervewrecking for me, my sister and the most for my dad. It kills us when our dad calls us, crying on the phone because he is so stressed out and needs help. We should not be going through this.

There… </vent>
