Praying for you…
*God of mercy, we bless You in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who ministered to all who come to Him. Give Your strength to armyross, Your servant, bound by the chains of addiction. Enfold him/her in Your love and restore him/her to the freedom of God’s children. Lord, look with compassion on all those who have lost their health and freedom. Restore to them the assurance of Your unfailing mercy, and strengthen them in the work of recovery. To those who care for them, grant patient understanding and a love that perseveres. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. *

I will go pray for you to put beer in its place in your mind and life.
That place is not in your belly. I used to drink heavily for years.
I had problems with the law because of it. It hurt my life because
I allowed it to warp my walk in life. It takes time, at least 1-2 years
to regain perspective on it. In the last 7 years I started to curtail its
influence on me. AA did not help. AA builds up a monster in your mind.
All you need is Jesus and straight living. Ultimately, you may be able
to use it in its proper role, I do not know. I used to drink 5-6 days a week.
Now, I drink much less and much less frequently, going months at a time
without any.
Don’t let it destroy your life. Step away. Without it life becomes clearer,
your body heals and you eventually get to the point where the cravings
do not bother you. You have a long road, but no other option.
It gets better. Remember that.

Novena Prayer to
St. Maximilian Kolbe
O Lord Jesus Christ, who said, “greater love than this no man has that a man lay down his life for his friends,”
through the intercession of St. Maximilian Kolbe whose life illustrated such love, we beseech you to grant us our petitions . . .
(here mention the requests you have).
Through the Militia Immaculata movement, which Maximilian founded, he spread a fervent devotion to Our Lady throughout the world. He gave up his life for a total stranger and loved his persecutors, giving us an example of unselfish love for all men - a love that was inspired by true devotion to Mary.
Grant, O Lord Jesus, that we too may give ourselves entirely without reserve to the love and service of our Heavenly Queen in order to better love and serve our fellowman in imitation of your humble servant, Maximilian. Amen.
(Say 3 Hail Marys and a Glory Be)

You are in my prayers…I am, and have been in active recovery from alcohol for years …AA is a good place also…the 12 steps are in direct corrleation with St. Igantius’ Spritual Excercises…ofcourse…hard core Alkies are very careful to not mention such things…somewhat Ironic given the entire 12 step program is based on God…(the God of your understanding…)…anyway…May God Bless you and I will definitely remember armyross in when I pray my next Holy Rosary…

I will pray for you.
I also have a helpful suggestion: start drinking other things from beer-shaped bottles, like bottled Coke or those soda drinks sold in health food stores. It may break the bank a little, but I find that it helps with the habit if you can sort of mimic the habit with a healthier replacement. I am also trying to get over my habit of drinking too much wine by drinking watered-down cranberry juice in a wine glass during times when I would normally drink wine.
God bless!

Battling any addiction is very tough. Having a support group can help a lot. You should be able to find an AA group just about anywhere, merely google it and you’ll likely find tons of info.
Just a few more thoughts, not all AA meetings are created equally. What this means is that you have to attend several meetings for many weeks to get the lay of the land and find a meeting that you find to be helpful, so don’t rush to judgment.
Second, the Gospel message where Jesus explains, (an I’m paraphrasing here), If you eye causes you to sin, pluck it out… If you hand causes you to sin, cut it off… While tough is very useful, a Priest once gave a sermon explaining that sometimes we are called to do that which we might think is drastic, ie: living without alcohol, but the rewards are tremendous.
Peace, and know that God made you in his image and likeness and wants to be in a relationship with you!

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our 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 just had a thought while praying the above for you. Make plans that you truly enjoy or look forward to around the 5:00 p.m. time frame that do not include or remind you of drink. Key is something that you enjoying doing that you tend to not allow yourself to do or make excuses for.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

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.
