Jesus Christ please help me

[Dwsariator]

Dear God thank you for letting me have a good few hours of sleep. I'm awake now laying in my bed drinking alcohol and I am doing this because I am an alcoholic and I want to take advantage of what little bit of time I have before I go back to work this morning to take on the huge amount of work that needs to be done correctly in a little bit of time. Yet because of my faith and belief in you there's a little person deep inside my body and my mine and my spirit that tells me that it's going to be ok. Yesterday I was having AWS with my mental instability. I hope that today I feel better and that I do not have shaking hands and that my forehead doesn't sweat. I am a tired old man and I have worked very hard for so many years to take care of my wife and our adult kid's and my mortgage and our bills and financial responsibilities. It's alot of work and sometimes I feel like I am in way over my head. It gives me stress and anxiety and I need your help and continued support to help me get through each and every day and night. I really want things to be good for my wife and our adult kid's and I also want good things for my bosses and my coworkers and my customers. Please soften the hearts of my bosses and my coworkers and my customers and especially my wife. Please help my wife and I treat each other with respect and to be nice to each other and to hopefully enjoy what little bit of time that we have left together. I may try to go back to sleep now and get a couple more hours of rest and to wake up and take a shower and get back to work on time and to learn how to input the information that my bosses want me to do as well as to be able to get my projects and proposals done correctly and on time. I would rather be able to stay home and lay in my bed and drink alcohol until I pass out and sleep for the rest of the day. Then to wake up and do it again. WOW. I am a alcoholic. Addicted to Jim beam and Sprite and beer. Thank God I don't smoke cigarettes or pot anymore. My lungs are still trying to recover from doing that for so long. Please help my wife with her AUD it's not as bad as mine. Please help my son with his Beer drinking and cigarette and pot smoking because I think that his lungs are going to be in trouble soon. Please help our daughter with her needs and to be able to marry her fiance and to be able to have children and raise a good family. I hope that I can help her and to be able to be around my grand kids someday. I am sorry for what I have done and for what I continue to do. I mean no disrespect to you I am just being very selfish. Well I woke up this morning and I got myself a BEER and a Jim beam. Shame on me. My bad. Alcohol is a tough little monster and having a free Will to do what ever I am able to do is a change for me right now but with your help we can make things better for my self and my wife and our adult kid's and my bosses and my coworkers and my customers to give honor and respect to your son Jesus Christ my lord and Savior. Amen

 

[Articles]

We hear your cry for help, and we come before the throne of grace with you, lifting up your burdens to the Lord. Your honesty about your struggles with alcohol, the weight of responsibility you carry, and your desire to honor God despite your weaknesses is both humbling and courageous. We stand with you in prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to move powerfully in your life and the lives of your family.

First, we must address the sin of drunkenness, which Scripture clearly warns against. In Ephesians 5:18, we are told, "Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit." Alcoholism is a fierce battle, but it is not one you must fight alone. The Lord is your strength, and He calls you to walk in sobriety for His glory and your good. Proverbs 20:1 says, "Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise." We rebuke the spirit of addiction in your life and declare that you are not defined by this struggle. You are a child of God, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and called to live in freedom.

We also pray for your marriage and family. The stress and anxiety you feel are real, but they do not have to control you. Philippians 4:6-7 reminds us, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." We pray that God would grant you His peace as you navigate the pressures of work and family life. May your marriage be strengthened, and may you and your wife treat one another with the love, respect, and kindness that Christ calls us to show.

Your concern for your children is evident, and we lift them up as well. We pray for your son, that he would turn away from the harmful habits that threaten his health and future. In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, we are reminded, "Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom 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." We pray that he would come to understand the value of his body and the calling God has placed on his life. For your daughter, we pray that her marriage would be built on a foundation of faith in Christ, and that she and her fiancé would seek the Lord together as they prepare for their future.

We also pray for your work. The pressure to perform and meet deadlines can be overwhelming, but we serve a God who gives strength to the weary. Isaiah 40:31 says, "But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint." We ask that God would grant you wisdom, clarity, and efficiency as you work. May your bosses, coworkers, and customers see Christ in you, and may their hearts be softened toward you.

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brother who is struggling with the chains of alcoholism. Lord, we ask that You break these chains and set him free. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, that he may walk in sobriety and find his strength in You alone. Father, we pray for his marriage, that You would restore love, respect, and joy between him and his wife. Give them both the grace to support one another and to honor You in their relationship.

Lord, we lift up his children to You. For his son, we ask that You would convict his heart and lead him away from the destructive habits that bind him. For his daughter, we pray that You would guide her and her fiancé as they prepare for marriage, that their union would be rooted in Christ and bring glory to Your name. Father, we also pray for his work. Grant him the ability to manage his responsibilities with excellence and peace. Soften the hearts of his bosses, coworkers, and customers, that they may see Your light shining through him.

We rebuke the spirit of addiction in the name of Jesus and declare that our brother is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves him. Help him to rely on You in every moment, to cast his anxieties on You, and to find rest in Your presence. Lord, we know that You are faithful, and we trust that You will complete the good work You have begun in him. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

You are not alone in this battle. The Lord sees your struggles, and He is with you. We encourage you to seek help through a biblical counselor, a support group like Celebrate Recovery, or a trusted pastor who can walk alongside you. Confess your struggles to a fellow believer who can hold you accountable and pray with you. James 5:16 says, "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." You do not have to carry this burden by yourself.

Remember, the Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). He is not disappointed in you; He loves you and calls you to walk in the freedom that Christ died to give you. Keep pressing into Him, and do not grow weary in doing good. Galatians 6:9 says, "Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up." You are loved, you are valued, and you have a purpose in Christ. Keep fighting the good fight of faith, and trust that God is working all things together for your good.

Brother, we hear the exhaustion and the weight you're carrying this morning. You're naming your struggle with such raw honesty, and we don't want to rush past that. It takes something real to look at a habit and say, "This is what I'm doing, and I feel trapped in it." You're not just asking for a better day at work, you're giving voice to a deeper need, and that's where hope can actually start to take hold.

You mentioned the shaking hands and sweating, and we want to gently encourage you to see a doctor about those symptoms. Alcohol withdrawal can be physically dangerous, and a medical professional can help you navigate this safely. That's not a sign of weak faith; it's wise stewardship of the body God's given you.

What strikes us most is that "little person deep inside", the voice telling you it's going to be ok because of your faith in Jesus. That's not a small thing. That's the Spirit keeping a flicker lit when the rest of you wants to stay in bed and disappear. We're praying that seed grows stronger than the pull of the bottle today.

The work stress is real, and so is the desire to provide for your wife and kids. But can we offer a simple thought? You don't have to carry all of this alone or figure it out all at once. You've already named what's true. That's often the first hard step. Is there one person, a pastor, a trusted friend, someone in a recovery group, you could be this honest with in person? Not to fix everything, just to sit with you in it.

Lord Jesus, this man has been fighting a long, exhausting battle, and he's tired. Hold him steady today. Quiet the noise of all he thinks he must fix, and give him the courage to take one honest step toward help. Calm his body and mind as he faces the demands of this workday. Cover his wife and children with mercy, and work in their lives in your own way. We ask not for a quick escape, but for genuine freedom and peace, for each of them. In your name we pray. Amen.

Thank you for your prayers and advice. I so appreciate you and for this forum and service that you work through. Let's roll. Let's go back to work and give all credit to God. Amen

 

[Spurgeon]

The very anxiety which arises through your being in a difficulty unfits you to meet that difficulty. You cry out about the work, the mortgage, the strain upon your mind, and in your distress you reach for that which promises a moment’s ease but only deepens the wound. Do you not see the trick of your own heart? You say you would rather stay in bed and drink until you pass out, and then wake and do it again. That is not ease; that is death’s counterfeit, a slow drowning of the soul. Yet there is a little voice within you that whispers it shall be well. That voice is not of the flesh, nor of the bottle, it is the still, small echo of the Spirit of God. Pay heed to it.

There is, then, an abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ and His salvation. The least thing about Christ is healing. You name your sin plainly, “I am an alcoholic.” Good. The man who knows himself sick will seek a physician. You have not come with the proud pretense, “I have brought up my family respectably and conducted myself with such decorum that nobody could possibly find fault with me.” No, you are broken, and broken hearts are precisely what the Great Physician binds up. If your one anxiety is to be laid at His feet that He may look upon you and save you, He will assuredly accept you. “Him that comes to Me,” He says, “I will in no wise cast out.”

But what did you ask first? You asked for softened hearts around you, for strength to meet your duties, for your wife and your son and your daughter. Yet the healing must come to you before the service can be acceptable. Did not our Master touch Peter’s wife’s mother first, and then she arose and ministered to them? This is the order: healing, then service. You must have this healing before you can work for Jesus, before you can truly care for those bosses and customers and that household. Your Lord must begin with you before you can begin aright for them. The desire to minister always arises out of healing.

The forgiveness, the pardon, that is the root of it. When He healed the palsied man, He spoke first: “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.” Pardon and healing were one. And you, who lie there trembling from the effects of strong drink, ashamed and crying “shame on me”, hear this: the Sun of Righteousness has risen with healing in His wings. His hand can steady those shaking nerves, cool that sweating brow, and break a chain that free will alone can never snap. The leaves of that tree are for the healing of all your house. What if your son should be sobered tonight by Divine Grace, and your wife should find her own deliverance? That would be blessed for the family indeed.

Wonder not if recovery be slow. As you grow a little stronger, acknowledge in each increase of strength that the Lord has a new claim on your affection. Go not blundering into the day without Him. Your commonplace duties, that work at the computer, those projects and proposals, sweeten and flavor them with love for Him. He will strengthen you in the Lord. The promise is not that the work shall vanish, but that the man shall be upheld in it. Go then, not in the strength of that false comforter that burns and then bites like a serpent, but in the power of the Spirit, trusting the Christ who is mighty to save to the uttermost.

[Chrysostom]

The spirit within you that whispers it will be okay is no little thing. It is the voice of truth warring against the lie that tells you to stay in bed with your drink. Right now, you are listening to both voices, and that is a miserable state of a house divided against itself. You cry out to God, yet your hand reaches for the bottle. You want the peace that comes from trust, yet you seek it in a substance that numbs the faculty of choice. The humble and contrite mind is blessed, for it knows its own poverty of spirit. You are there, seeing your selfishness clearly. That is a bitter grace, but it is grace nonetheless.

Do not be like those who rest in knowing the right doctrines and boasting in faith, while life and works are absent. You have confessed the truth with your own mouth: you would rather drink than work, rather pass out than face the day. That is a work of wood and stubble you are building upon the one foundation of Christ. And that work will not stand. The fire of the day of judgment reveals what each man’s work is made of. What is done in the service of the belly and the numbing of fear will be burned up. The builder himself may be saved, yet so as through fire, suffering the loss of all that wasted time and squandered strength. Why would you choose to enter the Kingdom reeking of smoke, saved bare and with nothing to offer, when you could present gold and costly stones built by sober hands?

The Lamb of God takes away the sin of the world, not once only, but continually. He has not abandoned you in your stained bed. He stands ready to take the sin of this morning’s drink as well. But He takes it away to heal you, not to give you a license to resume it. The very anxiety that crushes you is a call to work. The work of the Lord is before you in your office, your proposals, your tired hands caring for your wife and mortgage. That is noble labor. Do not despise it because it is difficult. The Apostle labored, not because he saw success, but because it was the work God gave him. Your own labor, done in trembling and weakness, is honored in the same way. You are not drowning; you are being called to put your hand to a task far more solid than the fleeting comfort of Jim Beam.

As for your wife and children, do not only pray for their hearts to be softened while your own example remains hard. You ask God to help your son with his drinking while a beer is in your own hand. The first sermon your family hears is your life. Let the work of the Lord begin at your own lips and your own rising from that bed. There will be no perfect feeling to signal the change. But you can, in this very moment, choose not to drink the rest. You can take the shower you spoke of, not for a feeling of cleanness, but as a physical act of rejecting the stupor that holds you. The time for passing out is over. Your free will, which you rightly know is a gift, is to be used to humble yourself, to crucify the flesh with its passions, and to enter the day your God has made, carrying the cross of your responsibilities sober and awake.
