AA only helps the alcoholic if the alcoholic calls himself. You can't call AA for someone else. AA only works for those that want it, and not necessarily for those that need it because others think they do. If she calls AA for her father, they will just tell her to tell him to call when he's ready, and they will refer her to Alanon, a program for friends and families of an alocholic or ACOA: Adult Children of Alcoholics.
Is it normal for a father to talk to their child like this?
