Jesus Christ please help me

[Dwsariator]

Dear God please help me. I feel like I need to either find another company to work for or I will need change what I have been doing for the company that I have been working with for the last 4 years. I have been drinking a lot of alcohol to drown my anxiety and my stress because of my job. I feel like leaving the office and to go back to my house and lay on my bed and drink alcohol until I pass out and to pretend that it's going to be okay. I have so much work to do in a little bit of time and now my bosses want me to do more work in sales and I still have a lot of projects and proposals to do. I can only do so much that I can handle. I want to quit my job and I don't want to work anymore but if I do that I won't be able to support my wife and our adult kid's and I won't be able to pay our mortgage and our bills and my life insurance policies and I won't be able to buy food and etc... I am an alcoholic and I have AUD and I hope that I don't have AWS. Please help me. Please forgive me. Please help me and my family. Please make my life easier with no stress and anxiety. Or if it's better for me to not live anymore. I'm sorry but I am tired of having to do this and I wish that my life was easier. I'm not sure if I can or want to do this anymore. What should I do? I need help but I don't want to tell anyone how I feel. I feel like I am losing my mind and I feel like I going to lose my job and this is really too bad. I hope that you can help me.

We hear the deep anguish in your heart, and we want you to know that you are not alone. The weight of stress, anxiety, and the grip of alcohol has brought you to a place of despair, and we grieve with you. The Bible tells us in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." You are seen, you are loved, and we are lifting you up in prayer right now.

First, we must address the seriousness of your struggle with alcohol. Scripture is clear that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we are called to honor God with them. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says, "Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s." Alcoholism is a battle, but it is not one you have to fight alone. We strongly encourage you to seek help, confide in your wife, reach out to a pastor, or contact a Christian counselor or support group like Alcoholics Anonymous. There is no shame in asking for help; in fact, it is a courageous step toward freedom. James 5:16 tells us, "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."

Your concern for your family is honorable, and we want to remind you that God sees your faithfulness in providing for them. However, your well-being is just as important. Proverbs 12:25 says, "Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but a kind word makes it glad." The stress you are carrying is not what God intends for you. We encourage you to prayerfully consider whether your current job is sustainable for your health, both physically and spiritually. It may be time to explore other opportunities that align with your limits and allow you to thrive without compromising your faith or family. Ecclesiastes 4:6 reminds us, "Better is a handful of quietness than two handfuls of toil and chasing after wind."

We must also address the thoughts of not wanting to live anymore. These feelings are serious, and we urge you to reach out to someone you trust immediately. Your life is precious to God, and He has a purpose for you. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,' says the Lord, 'thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.'" You are not a burden, and your family needs you. If you feel overwhelmed, please consider calling a crisis hotline or speaking with a Christian counselor who can walk with you through this valley.

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our brother who is struggling under the weight of stress, anxiety, and the bondage of alcohol. Lord, we ask that You would break the chains that hold him captive and replace his despair with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. We pray for wisdom as he considers his job and the path forward. Guide his steps, Lord, and open doors that no man can shut. Provide for his family’s needs according to Your riches in glory.

Father, we ask for healing in his body, mind, and spirit. Help him to surrender his struggles to You and to seek the help he needs. Surround him with godly men who can support and encourage him. Strengthen his marriage and his relationship with his children. Remind him that he is not alone, and that You are his refuge and strength.

Lord, we rebuke the lies of the enemy that tell him his life is not worth living. Fill him with Your truth and hope. Renew his strength and give him the courage to take the next step toward healing. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.

You are not without hope. God has not abandoned you, and He is working even now to bring you into a place of peace. Take one step at a time, confess your struggles, seek help, and trust that God will provide. Philippians 4:19 says, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." You are loved, and your life has value. Hold on to that truth.

We are grateful you reached out. Carrying this much weight alone is exhausting, and we hear how trapped you feel between a job that is crushing you and the desperate hope that drinking will bring even a few hours of relief. Please, before anything else: if you are in immediate danger or feel you may try to end your life, contact your local emergency services right now. For free, confidential support, you can also find a helpline in your country at findahelpline.com. You do not have to face this darkness by yourself.

The way you are using alcohol makes sense to us as a counterfeit form of rest, a way to shut down a mind that won’t stop racing about projects, proposals, sales targets, and bills. But you already know it cannot deliver what it promises. The temporary numb is followed by the same workload, the same anxiety, now with less capacity to face it. We are not going to lecture you about drinking; you named the struggle honestly. What we will say is that alcohol dependence like this is not just a spiritual or moral failure, it is a physical danger. Withdrawal can be serious. We strongly urge you to see a medical doctor, not instead of prayer but alongside it, so you are physically safe as you start to step back.

We also hear your love for your wife and adult children in every line. You are willing to suffer to provide for them, and that is a real, though battered, sign of strength still at work in you. It is not weakness to need help.

Lord Jesus, this man is exhausted and afraid. Hold him steady in the darkness. Give him the courage to take one small, concrete step today, whether that is reaching for a helpline, calling a doctor, or simply telling his wife how much he is struggling. Quiet his mind enough to see a next right thing, and surround him with people who will not shame him. Protect his family and his life. In Your name we pray.

[Spurgeon]

Your thoughts are not God’s thoughts. You cry out for ease, for an end to the burden, and your mind rushes to the bottle, to the bed, to the dark wish that life itself might cease. But God’s ways are higher than these. He does not promise a path without stress or sorrow, but He pledges His presence in the midst of it. To seek escape in drink is to lean on a crumbling wall; it can numb for an hour, but it cannot deliver, and it will certainly add ruin to ruin. Your afflictions cannot atone for sin, and your misery is no payment for peace. Cast away the thought that your suffering earns anything before God. His thoughts are not your thoughts, He sees beyond the present storm, and His purpose for you is not destruction but redemption.

Yet how precious are His thoughts toward you! They are constant, kind, wise, tender, perfect. He knows your frame; He remembers that you are dust. When you lie awake in terror, He is with you. When you feel you are losing your mind, He has not lost sight of you. You fear you will lose your job, your home, your ability to provide, these cares are real, but they are not beyond His arm. Job lost everything, yet he did not charge God foolishly. He tore his robe, he shaved his head, and then he fell to the ground and worshipped. Will you do that? Will you bow down rather than reach for the glass? The enemy whispers that God has deserted you, but it is a lie. The Lord never abandons His people. Your feelings are not the measure of His faithfulness.

You say you have hidden this from everyone, but you cannot hide it from the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. And that is mercy. Job thought God had left him a prey, but when he saw the Lord more clearly, he cried, “I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” A true sight of God brings low thoughts of self, but it also brings a strange and holy hope. Job’s captivity was turned when he prayed for his friends, not when he argued his case, not when he drowned his sorrow, but when he interceded for others. There is a way out of the pit for you, and it begins on your knees. Pour out your heart before the Lord, not in self-pity alone, but in confession and in prayer for your wife, your children, even for those bosses who pile on the work. Christ Jesus is the friend of sinners; He came to save alcoholics, the broken, the desperate. Cast yourself upon Him.

You ask if it were better not to live. Hear this: your life is not your own to discard. Job said, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.” That is faith’s ultimatum, to cling to a God who seems to be slaying you. Such faith honors Him more than the songs of angels who have never suffered. Do not seek death; seek the living God who brings life from the dead. Your glory may have grown stale, but He can anoint you with fresh oil. Get deep into His Word, for it is ever new, and its thoughts will renew your mind. Let this trial drive you to the Savior, not to the grave. He has appointed a house for all living, but your hour is in His hand, not yours. Repent of this despair, and believe that He is able to turn your captivity. Pray, and keep praying, for yourself, for your family, and for any who have spoken harshly to you. In that act of obedience, the Lord may yet restore your soul and your very life.

 

[Chrysostom]

This anxiety you seek to drown in strong drink is only made heavier by the very cup you lift. You flee to your bed and to wine, hoping to pass out and pretend all will be well, but do you not see what you are doing? Luxury and anxiety, when they join forces, swell into a wave high enough to overwhelm any soul. The thorns you allow to grow, the frantic cares of your work, the fear for your mortgage and your bills, the dread of losing your job, these are choking the word of life within you. They make you a slave, useless for the things of heaven and even for the daily duty you owe your family. You say you cannot tell anyone how you feel, yet you pour out your heart before God. That is good, but you also need the help of the brethren. A wound hidden in shame festers; a sickness concealed destroys the body. The Church is a hospital. If one member suffers, all suffer with him. Why then do you refuse to let anyone touch your pain?

Consider the tender care of the Lord, who tells you not to be anxious for tomorrow. Why do you heap tomorrow’s burden upon today, when today already has enough distress of its own? You force the day to receive more than its share, and you gain nothing but superfluous trouble. This life is indeed wretched and wearisome, as the Lawgiver Himself testified, and even the anxiety of one day is enough to wound and afflict you. Yet He who knows what you need before you ask still questions you, as He did those first disciples: “What do you seek?” Not because He needs to learn, but to calm your shame, to give you confidence, and to draw you near. Seek first His kingdom, and these necessary things will be added. You cry, “Make my life easier, with no stress or anxiety,” but in this world you will have tribulation. The ease you long for is not found in escaping all labor but in casting your cares upon Him who cares for you.

You speak of not wanting to live any longer. These are words from the pit, not from the Spirit of truth. Your death would not lighten the burdens of your wife and children; it would crush them under a weight far heavier than any financial debt. Despair is never mercy. God alone is the Lord of life; you do not have leave to throw away the gift He gave. Instead, turn to the physician of both soul and body. Just as Paul, in the anxiety of a parent’s love, urged the young Timothy to use a little wine for his stomach’s ailments, so you must care for your body and your troubled mind. But you are not using a little; you are abusing much. The profit of such so-called comfort is only a sharper return of anxiety and the ruin of all you hope to protect. That earthly beauty, that fleeting pleasure of forgetfulness, lasts but a moment and then leaves you more desolate than before.

Do not imagine you must carry this alone. You are not required to do more work than you can reasonably handle. It is no sin to speak honestly with your employers about what is possible. But if that path is closed, and you must change your labor for the sake of your soul and your family, do not cling to a false security. Earthly treasures and houses and policies can vanish in a night. True wealth is a heart at peace in Christ, adorned with the beauty that never fades, that no disease or anxiety can wither. Christ Himself, being Lord of all, took the form of a servant; He taught us to bear lowly things without high thoughts. You are not above your Master. Begin by confessing your sin, the drunkenness, the despair, the willful isolation. He does not prevent your will; when you make a beginning, He supplies the opportunities. Seek out a wise elder or a faithful brother in the faith and let them pray over you. Then, with a sober mind, attend to what you can do today and leave tomorrow where it belongs, in the hands of the merciful God.
