Answers:
It's a great thing that he is ending a bad habit like that!. It's also a great thing, in him doing this, he knows that it's a problem!. He's not in denial I'm assuming!.
But it's a dangerous environment for you guys to be in!. I don't know what to say about that!. Maybe to help you cope like what I used to do is go see a professional(but $ could become a problem!. It's expensive!.) But if you do, make sure you connect with that person!. Unless you have friends to talk to!. I recommend older people with more experience to talk to!. Than you can share with your sister!.
Maybe go out with your sister to hang with your or her friends while your dad is home!. Try to stay away from his when he is acting like that!.
Your younger sister will get older in time like you have and looks up to you like my little step brothers and sister look up to me!.
Time will play out!. Just take care of what you need to take of!. It's not your problem!. It's your father's problem!. (Most of this stuff, I don't need to say because you already know it!.) I'm just trying to support what you already know!. If I can associate it to something, the last movie I saw was 'O'Brother where art thou!." George Clooney was saying every time they were in trouble, "Oh man, where in a tight spot!" People get in those tight spots every now and than!.
All you need to concentrate is on your school work, and follow your dreams!. Your motivation is your key to open all of life's doors!. Try to open as many as you can!.
No need to live in fear!. Because your around him it causes you to feel this way!. But just see it as your father having an illness!. An illness is an illness!. It's a let down but don't let it stop you!. There is no perfect family out there!. People are always being neglected!.
The best thing you can do (anyone to do, that is reading this) to have an easy nights rest, is to remain respectful to everyone you see and ignore the bullshit thrown in your face!. To cope also I recommend you learn an instrument!. I play piano and GOD I can't tell you how much I appreciate life when I play!. People give me the respect I want when I play!. All I want in this world really is respect through making people feel happy and satisfied!. However since I am young I must satisfy my neccesities first!. When I'm older, on my own and making a fortune, my family and friends will all respect me because love is "the face of appreciation!." I appreciate everyone I talk to!. I'm not a prick and I know when I'm acting like one I silence it!. But right now I'm my own person now and have been for 4 years!. "You have jumped legions my step mother says!."
Fear!. I'm afraid of her, my step mother!. She's not my mom!. She's the strongest person I know of in this world!. The best advice she ever gave me one day when I was sobbing, over what my real mother has become, was "grow up!." Her look was so dead and cold!. I went into my room and after 5 minutes said sorry!. Since than for a year I used to get mad at my self every time I would lose motivation!. Now today for a year now, I just do the things that are needed to be done, with a big fat smile on my face!.

jogging - It's 20% of a healthy body the other 80% is a healthy diet!. (Hey! Maybe you and your sis can go for jogs together!. It will keep you guys conditioned and time outside of the house!.) Just don't jog after 9, it gets creepy out there!. I was joggin one time at a park at like 10 and some dude came out of the darkest spot in all white with a poodle!. It freaked me out!
yahoo answers - I like typing these yahoo answers it's become a good habit!. (It's my anti-warcraft!. The only game I play!. That and resident evil 4!. I love zombies vampires and ware wolves!. And listening to iron maiden in autumn!.)
books - Steinbeck and Hemmingway wrote some pretty deep stuff!.
kids - Put your mind frame in the life of a child's!. Stay young forever!. If you have to kneel on your knees!. Sit on the floor!. See how a kid sees!. They really do look up to you!.
Become your own role model - You'll create this aura around you that other's will notice!. They will be jealous of you, or they will befriend you!.
A punching bag for your father would help him in a coping way!. Buy gloves for him too!. This would make a cool b day present!. (One thing though!. I don't know how your dad would interpret that as being a gift!. It's something to consider though!.) You would have to talk to a professional or someone in person about that!.

Let me start out by saying there is no real physical withdrawal from marijuana, yes a mental withdrawal of wanting it, but that's it-even after 35 years!.
If he is "hitting" anyone you or your mother should call the police before something worse happens!. I know there will be people that will say don't do that, but what is going to happen if he really hurts someone!?!?
Most judges will order mental health/substance abuse treatment and anger management!.
I'm sure you have heard of tough love-well this is a situation for tough love!. God Bless Reggie!. If you need any mental health referrals for dad you can read my profile and then e-mail me!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
