A prayer for Amy

[Matrona]

My friend Amy has problems with substance abuse. I recently learned that they were worse than I thought. She is mixing prescription sedatives (that she doesn't have a prescription for) with alcohol.

I am so afraid what she does is going to kill her.

Also, I think she is alcoholic. She gets drunk at LEAST once a week, usually more. She's blacked out several times and has put many people in danger by doing very stupid, dangerous things while she's drunk. She likes to eat when she's drunk so she cooks things, but not very well. I find the stove and the oven turned on all the time and the things she was cooking burnt beyond recognition.

Please pray that God guides me to help her get the help she needs to get through her alcohol dependence. Please pray that God will help her not be angry with me for thinking she has a problem and trying to get help for her. And please pray that whatever help I can get for her will be effective. Please, please help me.

Oh, yes, Amy needs help so desperately. I am praying with you all the prayers you wrote. Her name will go in my "prayer basket."

Please continue to remember Amy and me (Matrona) in your prayers. I am trying to work up the nerve to talk to her about her problem with alcohol.

Also, I have a tiny little suspicion--a tiny one, but it's a flicker of hope--that she might be thinking more about God now. She calls herself a "deist" but she seems genuinely curious about what compels me to go to church at 8AM on Sunday morning. And I would love to take her to church with me one Sunday (I am Orthodox). Please remember us in your prayers...

She is lucky to have a friend like you, even if she doesn't realize it right now, I will keep you both in my prayers!

My prayers are with you both

 

[Matrona]

Thank you everyone. I found out her mother's address and phone number--she is very concerned for her daughter but I am afraid she does not know the full extent of the problem....

 

[God_Is_Awesome]

You are both in my prayers and heart.

Love, Light & Peace

If she's a danger to herself and others,
she also needs direct intervention.
