My alcoholism

Yanni depp · Jul 9, 2017

Its been a very hard 13 years. Ive been down and up, mostly down, in a blindness of my drinking which has caused me to make a lot of mistakes. Well, not mistakes, very bad and evil things of which ive mourned and repented of now. Things have been going well with my walk in Christ lately, you know, the bills arent paid and i have no job, but im grateful to the Lord for all we have in our little family and household.

Whenever that joy in the Lord is maintained, i get spiritual attacks in my dreams. I just woke from being reminded of every reason i used to drink to black out. I had a diary in my dream that retraced my steps of self loathing and regret from the hardest point of my life, basically had my face dragged through all of these things ive healed from and forgotten, and it still hurts to relive it. Please pray that these reminders go away, and that Jesus Christ the Father and the Holy Spirit hold me close. Thank you guys, its been humbling learning from your examples on here and listening to your words. ❤

God bless. How long have you been sober? AA opened the door for me to come back to God 4 years ago. I used to hear these promises in meetings and would cry because I knew they were what I needed and had been missing from my life. May they come true in yours.

Thank you all so much❤

@Petros2015 ive been in and out of AA but not long enough to read that paragraph, thanks for sharing that. Its been several months of sobriety, i dont keep track anymore. The longest i was able to go was two years, but with your guys prayers and support in Christ im hoping this problem will be put to death. Thanks again ❤

Brother i will pray for you. You are being purified and Jesus forgave you, that is why you are being attacked as the enemy knows he only has power over you with your consent and is losing their grip on you. Get used to it and decide it in your heart that you want to be the new man and refuse any cooperation with your temptation. If you command it to go away in Jesus name and you are resolved about it it will leave you, for a time. The enemy is entitled to tempt us, but it is upon us to overcome the temptation in His name. Consider what is dear to your heart and write a list. Then remember those points when you will be tempted, it can help you being focused on the right path. Its not going to be easy but is well worth it, brother. Jesus loves you, brother, despite what you have done. He wants you to follow Him and lead your family in His name. If you and your family don't pray together, you may consider praying and reading Holy Scripture together. Your family will be stronger for it and can be a support to you.

May Father bless you and your family in Jesus name. Amen.

First of all I am a man in my 40's that has ben diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and possibly PTSD due to a very bad childhood. Before I was a Christian I used to drink myself to oblivion and use a lot of drugs (but thankfully never did heroin or anything like that). You asked for prayer that these reminders go away, but my prayer for you is the same one I used to have for myself. It is that God will make you able to cope with and accept your past and use it for His glory. Your testimony is a powerful thing. I can easily talk about what happened to me and how God took me out of it and changed me and i pray that God gives you opportunities to led other people pout of similar situation and into finding Him and being saved. I pray that you will be able not be in those situations and not be tempted that you cannot persevere. My prayer for you is that you accept your past, forgive yourself, accept Gods forgiveness and use your life and testimony to bring Glory to God and that you will walk closer with Him than ever before.
