Prayer against drunkenness is powerful. How to save a loved one from alcoholism and other addictions

Drunkenness is the beginning of a serious problem and illness at the same time. Alcoholism destroys Orthodox Christians, forcing them to surrender to demons. Prayer helps to save and protect a loved one (husband, father, brother, son, daughter or mother) from drunkenness. Strong, powerful, effective support comes to the person suffering from illness from heaven itself. The Lord blesses the lost to get rid of all addictions: alcohol consumption, smoking, drug addiction, fornication, gambling addiction. In addition, daily prayer cleanses the house from swearing, quarrels, scandals, and contributes to the creation of favorable communication between family members.

Which saint can you turn to for help?

Unfortunately, alcoholics rarely admit their condition and consent to treatment. If you can’t persuade someone to get treatment, you can turn to a higher power with a prayer for alcoholism. This can be done by the person suffering from alcoholism, but this happens extremely rarely. Usually the words of plea for help are sent by the wife (husband) or close relatives of the drunkard.

Many saints can help in a difficult situation, including John of Kronstadt, Matrona of Moscow, and the Monk Moses Murin. Also, many praying people turn the words of the prayer for deliverance from alcoholism to Nicholas the Wonderworker and our Lord.

Ways to stop drinking

• You can stop drinking on your own But only with good health, which has not yet been seriously undermined. An independent decision will save you at the first stage of alcoholism, when the addiction has not gone so far and you can afford to change the environment of communication, go to another city, country. But not everyone has this opportunity. And many have already overcome the first stage...
• Quitting binge drinking seems like the easiest way to stop drinking. But after the drip, many start all over again. Getting out of binge drinking can be a trigger for starting the fight for sobriety. After it, you should think about where you are going and what this road can lead to. To a hospital bed, a wheelchair, a cesspool, or to a gravestone in the prime of life... To change your life, you need to go to a narcologist for help and, together with him, draw up a plan for further action.
• Coding is a good way to stop. But without your attitude, willingness to resist temptations and periodically arising thoughts about drinking, coding will also not be a guarantee of long-term sobriety.
• Psychological rehabilitation with subsequent resocialization is, today, perhaps the most effective system of healing the psyche of an alcoholic that gives the greatest results. It occurs in several stages, in conditions of anonymity and isolation of patients from society.

Rehabilitation programs help:

• stop using;
• develop a new outlook on sober life;
• reduce cravings;
• use specific examples to prove that it is possible to quit drinking;
• prepare morally and psychologically for returning to society.

Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker

The name of Nicholas the Wonderworker is revered by the majority of believers who in earthly life came to him with their problems. But even after its end, in many life situations that people are not able to resolve, they turn to the protection, help and support of the saint. With the help of a prayer to St. Nicholas against drunkenness and alcoholism, you can help your husband or son get rid of an addiction.

Amen

Prayer to the Lord for deliverance from drunkenness

There is no such sadness from which we would not turn to our Lord for relief. Drunkenness is one of the sins, falling into which a person often does not even realize its danger. And only by going on a drinking binge and plunging into the world of devilish visions that lead away from real life can one understand the full horror of what is happening. If the drinker has not yet sunk to the very bottom and has realized the horror of his situation, he can seek help himself, turning the words of prayer to Jesus Christ.

Sweetest Jesus! Drunkenness got the better of me! My soul was exhausted, it was all exhausted from my unfortunate weakness! I can’t get along with myself—that’s my inconsolable sorrow and misfortune. Fear and fear attack me - I wouldn’t die from drunkenness without repentance! I am afraid that the enemy - the devil - will completely destroy me and bring me to hell. I know that I cannot cope with myself on my own. “I am poor and needy, but the Lord cares for me. You are my help and my deliverer, my God! Do not delay” (Ps. 39:18). Lord Jesus Christ! You Yourself said: “Without Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5), but “ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7).

You, Lord Jesus Christ, healed the paralytic, cleansed the lepers, had mercy on the harlot, and said to the thief: “Today you will be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43). Touch, O Merciful One, my weakened and prodigal heart with Your omnipotent grace, pour into it strength and courage of spirit to fight the passion of drunkenness, drive away the tempter devil and send me Your Guardian Angel, and “in the midst of destinies” save me, a sinner and sad, Lord! You Yourself said: “I do not want the death of the sinner, but that the sinner should turn from his way and live” (Ezek. 33:11) and therefore “came into the world to save sinners” (1 Tim. 1:15). You Yourself, with Your Divine lips, said: “Him that comes to Me I will never cast out” (John 6:37). And so I came to You, my hope and refuge! I cry at Your Most Pure feet, Who was crucified for me. “Do not hide Your face from me, do not reject me and do not forsake me, O God, my Savior!” (Ps. 26:9), grant me strength and strength of will, so that I may drive out the passion that nests within me and may I live in sobriety, piety and firm faith in You, the One True God of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

When to go to God

Demons and larvae of alcohol are insidious. The affected person himself does not notice how he is drawn in and succumbs to a destructive passion. Persuasion has no effect on him. A beginning alcoholic is firmly convinced that he will quit at any moment. And life passes in negativity, swearing, dope. Those nearby suffer, especially children.

In some situations, help comes from medicine. You can get rid of drunkenness for a certain time by coding. And then the sin usually returns in double volume. The person even realizes the destructiveness of his problem, but does not have enough strength for constant resistance.

You need to turn to the Lord as soon as the craving is noticed. And it would be nice for the drinker to do this himself. And if you have doubts, give in to weakness, then your loved ones should take responsibility. You are allowed to pray for a loved one, relative, parent, brother, sister, grandfather, daughter-in-law or father-in-law. And it’s not forbidden to ask for a woman living next door.

Recommendations and tips

The Bible indicates that the tempting serpent is the cause of the Fall. And it is this image that personifies the craving for vodka. Binge drinking is one of the sins that a believer should fight against. While a clan member drinks, innocent souls are in danger:

1. The daughters and sons of a drunkard constantly observe the incorrect behavior of their parent (father, mother). This brings chaos to the heart.
2. Wives suffer without having a fulfilling marriage.
3. Mothers are terribly worried about their offspring, and fathers reproach themselves for missed upbringing.

Praying for a drunkard is the duty of an Orthodox Christian. Jesus commanded to love our neighbors. And this feeling manifests itself in the desire to save the sinner. Understand and accept your own rights.

The prayer rules are simple:

1. Try to go to church. This is where the work of healing begins.
2. But don’t forget to read the sacred texts at home. Jesus said that the temple is in the heart, not in the walls.
3. Cry in solitude and peace. Invite your family to follow your example.
4. Hang icons on the wall. Light candles more often. Holy faces and fire create a special atmosphere and cleanse the space of damage.
5. Repeat the words from the prayer book exactly. Think about each one. They contain deep meaning.
6. Begin and end your prayer with the sign of the cross.

Hint: if a drunkard laughs or criticizes, then leave him alone. The wife is recommended to pray over the head of the sleeping person every day. Mother, father, and other loved ones can do the same. Remember that the believer's humility lies in the recognition of his own weakness. You tell the Lord that without his help you cannot cope with worldly problems. There is great power in humility.

What is prohibited

It is not advisable to go to temple during menstruation. But it is quite possible to contact the saints at home. However, there are some prohibitions:

1. Hatred distorts the request. This is also a sin. Cleanse yourself from condemnation.
2. It's not good to call out as a joke. Higher powers receive full information about the intention. They will punish you.
3. Doubts about the Almighty are sinful. Only true faith is supported by heaven.

Begin your prayer with “Our Father.” This will strengthen confidence, free you from despondency, worries, and feelings of powerlessness.
