I need your prayers. I am a father and a husband, but have been drinking alone and it is getting serious. I want to do something else with my time, but when I come home from work I always grab a beer. I am embarrassed by this, and the money I spend on beer. Please pray for me. God Bless You All.
 
Dear Father, please guide this person away from drink and into a life filled with the goodness of the Holy Spirit.

I promise to pray for you. I do not think there is any easy way to overcome this. I have several family members with this issue. They wish to stop however not willing to use the AA process. I have given them this resouce. Check it out.

You have taken a important first step - you have admitted your reality. May you find the strength and may your desire embrace you with courage and grace. Blessings.
 
I will be praying for you. I, too struggle with this. Please remember me in your prayers.
 
*Hail Mary, full of grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou among women
and blessed
is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Holy Mary, mother of God
Pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our death

Amen.

I am in the same boat…I find myself looking to numb the stress of days and rather turn to a bible and my lord I turn to the bottle. I will be praying for you and I hope you shall do the same for me.
 
I will pray for all those who struggle with this issue. I have seen what it can do to family members and the negative effects it can have.

So, yes, you are in my prayers. 🙂
 
I will pray for all of you trying to cut down or quit drinking. I was in the same boat a year ago. Actually, it will be one year now this November 26th. It has not been easy but it’s getting easier. I did a lot of praying and now I’m still doing a lot of praying and also thanking God for helping me get to where I am. I do not want to drink anymore. I do not crave it and I do not miss it! I have found my Faith with the Catholic church, our family is doing better than ever, we have more money and our marriage is better than it has ever been. It helped tremendously that my spouse agreed to quit drinking as well. He was not much of a drinker, having the occasional beer, but that has been a tremendous support. Please also ask God to help you!

Lord Jesus,You said,
“I have come to set the captives free.”
We are captive and need Your healing touch.
Free us, Lord, from our addictions,
so that we will be:
…free from the cares and worries that stifle our happiness;
…free from sins that cling to us, and to which we cling;
…free from all compulsive behavior
that prevents us from becoming what You, Lord,
have planned for us.
Bring us, loving Savior,
to the experience of abundantlife
which You promised.

Amen.
 
I use to think I drank to much, but I wasn’t an alcoholic cause I just drank too much. I tried repeatedly to modify my drinking- always ending up in drinking too much. I tried to quit altogether. Took me three tries. Then I admited I was an alcoholic and went to an AA meeting. Fifteen years later, I am still sober. If you have a desire to stop drinking- Get to an AA meeting. It works.

Also, frequent reception of the Sacraments. I also recomend stopping in to visit the Blessed Sacrament before and after work.

I’ll keep you in my prayers. I know God wants to help ya out. But it’s been my experience that He can best help when we use the tools He sends us.Praying for a change and not being willing to cooperate never works for me. I wish you well.

GREAT SITE, I read and Spread it to my friends on Facebook. This is a true blessing for me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart and the depth of my soul.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Remember oh most gracious Virgin Mary that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence I fly unto thee oh Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee I come, before thee I stand, stand sinful and sorrowful. Oh Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray and do thou oh prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done one earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.
