Father (59) doesn't want to eat anything, what should I do?
We are in the hotel, all inclusive.
My father has only smoked, drunk alcohol, and hasn't eaten anything all day, saying he's full. He vehemently refuses to come to dinner, even now.
It's exactly the same at home: he doesn't eat anything all day or only eats very little (1 sausage and 3 potatoes, or 2 slices of bread).
I'm really worried about his health. How long can his body cope with something like this?
No vitamins, nutrients, and filling the body with beer, alcohol, and cigarettes? He always says he's full from beer?
The alcohol is saturated.
Risk factors > smoking:
bronchial/larynx carcinoma,
COPD,
cardiovascular diseases, with secondary diseases, such as myocardine infarction, apoplex,
peripheral, arterial closure disease.
Regular and lasting consumption of alcohol mainly damages the liver. There can be diseases > fat liver, liver cirrhosis.
At least the liver values > gammagt + transaminases should be controlled, if necessary in addition a sono of abdomen.
To your last question! Your father is a grown-up person and even responsible for his health. You can’t force anyone to consult a doctor. There are several non compliance patients!
Thank you for the star!
Typical behavior of an alcoholic I think, and your father actually has no normal hunger from drinking. He will also know what happens when he goes to KH because of heart problems, because he can’t drink anything except water and tea, which will lead to withdrawal symptoms. You can’t do anything as long as he doesn’t come up with the idea that he needs to change something. You better take care of yourself or you’ll get into the co-existing role. Go to the advice, each city has the AA, anonymous alcoholic.
Exactly and for smoking he would have to go outside so he can barely on TV
Every 10 minutes out to smoke
And alcohol anyway
Your father is obviously alcoholic, and you can only help them with radical means if they are unintentional, stubborn and indoctrinable.
What does it have to do with the food someone eats so little?
because acohol dampens the hunger feeling
That’s different. Often it goes well for many years and then the body strikes the other from one day. No one can give you a forecast. The fact is, however, that your father is seriously damaged by health.
And the torment?
Sure.
If he should actually be an alcoholic, it’s normal that he’s disgusting before eating.
How long can he live with it?
More and more beer bottles and less food. And now it’s almost impossible to eat.
He started smoking 6 years ago
He should be looking for medical help.
If he changes nix himself, it becomes hard for you to convince. I’m sorry
He looks nix and makes it so much .. he doesn’t get the addiction and the problems.
He’s grown up. If he doesn’t want to eat, leave him.
Food is vital. And the drugs hurt the body.
He’s risking his life in the long term?
Do you think he’s going to retire in this way?
I didn’t say it was healthy. However, it is up to him to take action against his possibly present alcoholism and to undergo therapy. You can’t do anything.
It’s his thing.
Alcoholics often don’t eat enough.
I never drink alcohol or smoke.
Well, after breakfast at 8:00, I’m hungry at 13:00 – 14:00.
It would be hard for me to keep through from breakfast to dinner without lunch.
I can’t figure this out for so long.
