I'm out of a rehab for alcoholism too. There are a lot of people going through what you are.

People have suggested going to support groups for family/friends of alcoholics which is great advice. To add on to that I would suggest speaking to your doctor to get a referral to a psych who specialises in drug and alcohol counselling, not to help your father but to help yourself. Your probably not an alcoholic but they will be able to teach strategies to cope with the emotions that come from this.

You gotta be selfish when it comes to this because relapse is more often than not the norm.

Focus on keeping yourself sane and just be open to forgiving your father when he is ready to quit drinking.
