About a year ago I moved countries for a fresh start after breaking up with fiancée of 8 years (turns out he was cheating the while time) anyway things went from bad to worse and now find myself addicted to a nasty substance. I have no family here and only 1 true friend - other friends are users of it and can’t be trusted. Bad things keep happening to me and now am so far behind in rent and bills it’s not funny. I guess all that’s really missing is the love of a certain man - my main problem making me use.

Please pray I make enough to catch up then clean myself up and sort this mess I call my life out.

I sometimes get angry at god for bringing badness into my life and teasing me when it comes to that man and I feel real bad for having those bad feelings which I do apologise for and try keep the faith but sometimes feel ignored.

So alone, desperate and helpless I just don’t know what to do especially if I get evicted 😦
 
God Loves you unconditionally. Trust in Him! Jesus wants you to lean on Him and knows your pain. God is with you always.

Luke 8:43-44 “Among them was a women who had suffered from severe bleeding for twelve years; she had spent all she had on doctors, but no one had been able to cure her. She came up in the crowd behind Jesus and touched the edge of His cloak, and her bleeding stopped at once”.

God Bless! you always.❤️

Jesus, I Trust in You…Jesus, I Trust in You…Jesus, I Trust in You. Amen:signofcross:
 
Most holy apostle, St. Jude,
faithful servant and friend of Jesus,
the Church honors and invokes you universally,
as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of.
Pray for kush22, so helpless and alone. Make use we implore you,
of that particular privilege given to you,
to bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of.
Come to their assistance in this great need that they may receive
the consolation and help of heaven in all their necessities,
tribulations, and sufferings, particularly -their most needed intentions
that they may praise God with you and all the elect forever.

We promise, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor,
to always honor you as my special and powerful patron,
and to gratefully encourage devotion to you.
Amen.

kush22,
I’ll share with you the core idea that keeps me going at times.

God is all-knowing AND God is all-loving.
Everything that happens to us either comes from God or is allowed by God FOR THE GOOD OF OUR IMMORTAL SOULS.

From Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence:
GOD CONTROLS ALL EVENTS, WHETHER GOOD OR BAD

Nothing happens in the the universe without God willing and allowing it. This statement must he taken absolutely of everything with the exception of sin. ‘Nothing occurs by chance in the whole course of our lives’ is the unanimous teaching of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, ‘and God intervenes everywhere.’

**In the Name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen.

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be
Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done,
on 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.

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.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen.**

Please go and talk to a priest, pray the rosary. I will be praying for you. God bless you. You are never alone, God is always with you.
 
I too am an alcoholic and an addict. I have lost almost all that is good in this world - my job, my wife and children, my self respect. I can tell you one thing - PRAYER WORKS. I ran from God because I didn’t want to face all of the negative baggage that comes with the instant gratification from drugs and alcohol. I took credit for all blessings and blamed God when things didn’t go well. The truth was that God provided all the blessings, and when I made the wrong choices because I didn’t listen to God, well, the consequences were a direct result of my actions.

I am now only 30 days clean and sober, and this has been the longest 30 days of my life. I have felt pain that I have never imagined could be real. I really felt like I hit rock bottom. So I gave up. I gave up trying to run, I gave up trying to hide from God, I gave up lying to myself and everyone else. Confronting myself and humbly going to God with complete honesty and utter abandon was the scariest thing I’ve ever been through - for a minute. Truly go to God and you will be forgiven. It’s going to take a while for you to change your behavior, but follow the advice I recently got from my wife: LET GOD LEAD, and everything will be as it is meant to be.

I am about to have my night time prayers. You will be in them.

Ask Jesus for forgiveness. Ask Mary for comfort. Ask God for strength. These are what I do and it really helps. Plus, having countless people on these forums praying for you helps a lot, too.

Remember the Serenity prayer:

God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can,
And the Wisdom to know the difference.
 
And it does get better. Trust me. Today was a great day - the first day I haven’t sobbed uncontrollably with a bottomless pit of fiery hot, yet frozen pain in my heart. I felt the comfort of Mary with me (turns out my wife was praying for Mary to comfort me while I experienced this - but that’s a separate story). I haven’t stopped smiling today. I got great news on my annulment (previous marriage) from the Tribunal, I got a 30 day chip from AA, I talked to my children on the phone, and I may have some other good news concerning my current marriage (we’ve agreed to keep things to ourselves at this point).

Hang in there, my friend. You will be in my prayers. Have a restful night.
 
Glory be to The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be
World without end
Amen
 
God is with you and we are also with you. Jesus loves you and so do we. Resolve yourself to the fact that no man can define who you are or what you will become. Go to confession and pray your Rosary. No man is worth the destruction of your beautiful self! After all, you are a child of God.

Jesus is with you. Jesus is with you. Jesus is with you.

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 in the hour of our death
Amen.

Praying for you to find the help you need. Reach out to Jesus He will carry you through this… many folks have been through and come through what you are going through.

We love you. God Bless you my friend. :signofcross:

The road to recovery is one which makes God smile, I have no doubt. I am the one who had to part with an alcoholic man. He is now clean and sober for many years. We will never be together again but I know that his healing began when I asked him to leave. He found God, so did you and so too shall the OP.
God Bless you for this powerful testimony.
 
Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kindgom come, Thy will be done on 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 deliever us from evil. Amen.

May the most just, the most loveable, and the most high Will of God be done, be praised, be fulfilled in all things. Amen.

All you holy men and women of God, intercede for us.
 
Dear Lord be her protector and defender in this time of trouble.

Guide her life journey, so she will always walk safely together with You,
in God’s protection and friendship.
Amen.

Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight,
and give Your angels and saints charge over those who sleep.

Tend Your sick ones, O Lord Christ.
Rest Your weary ones.
Bless Your dying ones.
Soothe Your suffering ones.
Pity Your afflicted ones.
Shield Your joyous ones, and all for Your love’s sake.
