I have done alot to fight this habit and also enquired about counselling also today

God bless you for your prayers

Blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus
Holy Mary mother of God
Pray for us sinners now
And at the hour of our death
Amen
 
Recognizing that you have a challenge is the first step towards overcoming it. Youhave already taken the next step by seeking help andprayer. May God bless you and strengthen you, may you find a counselor who will help you to develop the understandings and skills that will support you as you wrestle this addiction to the ground, one move at a time. Each day is a new opportunity, and, with the help of Our Lord, the victory will be yours. Amen.
 
How do you fall into this sin?

What activities lead you to this?

Are there any ways to ammend your daily activities to lessen your temptation?

Please look deep into your heart for the true root of your problem. If you every need anyone to talk to please PM me.

I’ll be praying for you.
 
Lord God, I lift up to you Paul theApostle. Give him the strength to resist temptation… Bless him with a prayerful attitude that he may concentrate of talking to you when temptation comes along. Surround him with family, friends, loved ones, and acquaintances who are willing to help him defeat his habit. Guide his counselor and grant his counselor wisdom so that the counselor may help Paul theApostle.

St. Michael, pray for him.
 
Lord Jesus Christ, I pray that you bless Paul theApostle with Your grace in his time of need. Give him strength to remain always faithful to You, and to bear his cross on the narrow and straight path of righteousness that you have walked before us. O Lord, fill his heart with Your spirit, that he may trust in Your mercy and always come to You in his sore distress. Dear Christ, we love You! Help us to open our hearts fully to You, and to love You as perfectly as You love us, that we may obey Your commandments for all our life. Amen.

This is a terrible prooblem and has components of being a bad habit, an ordinary sin, a sickness, and a character flaw. Paul, you need therefore to fight on all fronts: Habits, Prayer, Mental Health, and Character Improvement.

I know this, as I have this problem, I’ve improved and backslid, and it’s really something you need to do something to address every day.

I’ll pray for you, and one small practical suggestion: Look for GA meetings in your area. They can be very helpful. They don’t offer easy solutions, but they can dovetail with your faith and provide a supportive, structured means of addressing your financial difficulaties and other problems caused by this addiction to gambling.

Dear Jesus,
Allow us to know that Gambling is a trick of the devil. Allow us to know there is no promise of a “win”. Allow us to know though the price of a loaf of a bread can feed the hungry every time without “the roll of a dice” and that this is a much better use of any extra money we may have. Help Paul and each and every one of us to fight gambling and any other addiction that steals resources we could be offering to you instead of mammon, whether it be love or time or things we could be purchasing for the poor. In this we pray in your Holy name. Amen.

Anima Christi
Soul of Christ, sanctify me; Body of Christ, save me; Blood of Christ, inebriate me; Water from the side of Christ, wash me; Passion of Christ, strengthen me; O good Jesus, hear me; within your wounds, hide me; let me never be seperated from you; from the evil one protect me; at the hou of my death, call me; and bid me to come to you; that with your saints, I may praise you forever and ever. Amen.
 
May our Lord heal you through your new counselor. I recommend you to the Blessed Virgin Mary. May you seek her help and obtain it. Amen.
