So since nobody else was doing shit, i decided to basically force my step mom to write her and my dad's Murshida (don't ask, i was raised in a weird little cult, think of the murshida as like the pope without the funny hat but also a pair of tits.) and tell her about my dad's drinking and his mental decline. For some reason she didn't want to do this but i figured wtf is a spiritual leader for if not some sort of guidance? She wrote back and basically ordered my dad to go to AA and even found another sufi who's in aa for him to go with. My dad totally shut down the idea, so i told my step mom to enlist his best friend and fellow sufi and he convinced him to go.

Apparently he's supposed to go to 90 meetings in 90 days, and he's been to 5 now and got a coin for 10 days sober and was really proud of it. He's now "One of those AA people" i guess. I have my issues with AA as a pretty retarded organization but they do help people and now my dad's all about it, and he's not drinking and supposedly has been acting better. He's not normal but theres been an improvement, for all we know some of his behavior was him being drunk even more than we thought? i dunno. But it's good news, and fuck do i need some good news right now...
