My 13 year old sister was found drunk...

This afternoon after four hours of sleeping in her own vomit after she fell in it with her pants pulled down.

I can't fucking believe it.

She's still drunk now and I can't get any sense out of her. I yell at her and she laughs. I tell her how I love her more than anything else in the world and she laughs. I cry and she laughs.

My mom says, "Kids expiriment". My mom thought she was dead when she found her. What kind of expirimentation is that?

I've been crying for hours. In my shitty life thus far she has been the only constant person. She's been the only one to love me unconditionally. And now she just laughs.

I even quit drinking, smoking, and doing drugs four months ago to try and be a better role model. To practice what I preach. I've been sober for her....and myself.

I just want the best for her. She's only 13. I just............don't know anymore.

If I can't help the person I love more than anybody else, how can I help the person I hate, myself?

I don't want her to wind up like me or our mom. Our mom is better now, but she went through hell (and dragged us through it) to get where she is now.
I feel like maybe I should just give up. I'm no good to anyone.

 

Wait until she is sober. There is no point in trying to talk to her if she is still drunk.

 

I know, I am.

I don't think there is anything I can do about it though...

She was caught shoplifting a month ago or so. I tried talking to her then, and she's still doing this kind of shit.

 

maybe your sister is a great writer or poet?... lots of great writers are abusive drunks

 

i'm sorry to hear that. i would feel horrible!
i really hope things get better from here but there is no telling.
i wish you a lot of luck helping her get on the right track.

 

You're right but great writers like Eugene O'Neill, Ernest Hemingway, and F Scott Fitzgerald don't have monopoly on alcoholism

Tyrants like Alexander the Great, Ivan the Terrible, and Henry VIII also abused alcohol.

So perhaps her sister is a tyrant in the making :H

What about Charles Bukowski?

 

What about Robert Crumb

 

theres some nights i find friends in there own puke at the ripe old age of 21

 

The president was a cokehead AND an alcoholic.

 

13 is also a turbulent age, i wouldn't make too much of it just from one occasion

 

He snorted coke at camp david when his father was president, and was pulled over for DUI in Maine

It's been on more than one occasion apparently.

 

Hopefully you can relate why you were wanting to be a sober role model for her. Speak to her honestly when shes sober.

Ditto on what Fitsy said.

 

What about Dostoyevski?

I started drinking around the age of 13... talk to her about it, if you attack her with a barge of emotions that will just provoke her. Like Lodui said, talk to her honestly... tell her about how crappy drinking is out of your own experience, create a bond over it.

 

I vote house arrest and removing all alcohol from the house...
but maybe I'm a tightass in thinking that someone shouldn't be drinking to drunken-ness at that age.

 

My thoughts exactly. 13 is much too young.

My mom was being very lenient with her and now they just blew up into a huge fight.

My sister told us that she hates us all.

........I fucking hate this.

 

House arrest will only provoke her to drink more when she has the chance to.

Talk first, act with extremism later.

Everyone on this forum should know that banning something from a teenager will only make the teenager want to do it even more.

 

I plan on doing just that.

Hopefully my stories will deter her..........at least for a few years.

 

I know, but if you're too lenient they just walk all over you.
