I have a drinking problem and my relationship with alcohol isn’t serving me well and is hurting my marriage.

I don’t know what the future will hold but for right now I am going to abstain from alcohol.

I am feeling very frieghtened and unsure of myself.
 
Prayer for Addiction:

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 Your servant, bound by the chains of addiction. Enfold himlher in Your love and restore himlher 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.

Ven. Matt Talbot, pray for all those trap in various addictions. Amen.
 
You are in my thoughts and prayers…

I cannot imagine how much courage it took for you to write those words and ask for help. You are on the right path: keep going. Ask around your parish and see if there is an AA meeting there or at another parish. You are NOT alone.
 
May you reach out for your Bible and read every time you wish to pick up a drink. May you find a good spiritual director/confessor to help you break out of your addiction, and receive support and guidance. May a good AA group be available to you. May you love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, and think of him always, especially whenever you want to drink or do anything that could lead you to drink. May you keep away from all occasions of sin and do spiritual reading and pray a lot. May you pray ceaselessly for the graces you need to stay in a state of grace and stay sober. May you know that prayer is most necessary for salvation and call out to Jesus for help whenever you feel weak. May you make prayer the most common thing you do during your day and pray for the spirit of prayer. Your prayers to God will keep you connected to him and will draw down graces upon you, graces that you need to keep sober … may you persevere in prayer. May the Lord give you strength, peace, deep trust in him, and a deep prayer life. Amen.
 
All good saints, who have struggled with temptation,
Pray for this servant

May the bondages of addiction and darkness be torn away by the light of Christ. Please, brother, consider the detox in the presence of a medical person at the very least.

Every second of the day, I pray that the angels guide you to the realization that Jesus is your answer. Call out to Jesus! Ask his Mother for Help!

My biggest prayer is that when you get through this, you will be a witness to others who are struggling and become a wounded healer FOR CHRIST, ministering to those in darkness, as one who has been there already. The ones I know who have been there are so amazing in their faith and their zeal and their joy. And each one of them will testify, that ministering to those in bondage keeps them clean and sober.

Be not afraid to be the person that Christ calls you to be. You are in the battle now. Never be afraid to ask for prayers. We are waiting and wanting to assist you in this battle. BE not Afraid.

Praise HIM!
Blessings
 
Praying for you from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Lord, support us as we pray,
protect us day and night,
so that we who under your guiding hand live in a world of change
may always draw strength from you,
with whom there is no shadow of alteration.
[We make our prayer] through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen.

May the Lord bless us and keep us from all harm; and may he lead us to eternal life.
AMEN
 
Lord we thank You for the race of determination that ringil is embracing.
Please keep him resolute. If he falters strengthen him to continue.
Have mercy on him and his family Lord.
Surround them with Your healing light and love
 
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
