My husband is an alcoholic..

[mimi75042]

I need prayer for my husband, he is an alcoholic and he does not want to admit that he is an alcoholic. He has had two bad experiences with alcohol poisoning at the clubs that he goes to with his friends. I'm not sure if the poison is being added by the people that are serving the drinks to them or his own friends. My husband has a habit of showing off his money and I feel that this is in part of why someone might be trying to poison him to take his money. I have asked him several times before to stop drinking, but he's a man and he's going to do what he wants to do no matter what I or someone has to say. Please pray for my husband to release him from his addiction and from his friends that bring him bad influences.

Alcohol poisoning is when you have consumed so much alcohol to the point that it could kill you. There is no poison added to the alcohol, Im sorry you were confused by that. My prayers are with you.

Thank you for clarifying that, but I'm still sure that someone is adding something to his drinks because he says that he completely blacks out when that happens and doesn't remember anything. He has had his friends bring him home twice due to that. Thanks again.

No, no one is adding anything...when someone drinks too much alcohol, the side effect is called blacking out...and they dont remember anything....they will hurt people, sleep with someone else...its not good they are completely unaware of they are doing.

You need to attend Alanon, and learn how to live with your husband's alcoholism. You can also encourage your husband to read the Alcoholics Anonymous website, and learn about his drinking problem. www.aa.org

The previous posters are right. I have had episodes where I blacked out and did not remember a thing I did when I was drunk. That is typical alcoholic behavior. Nobody poisoned him. He did it to himself, drinking to the point of blackout.

Alanon is for the family and friends of alcoholics, and helps you learn to stay sane and take care of yourself from the support and 12 steps.

Hello Dear:

I'm a long-time member of Al-Anon (20+years) which is a self-help program for YOU.
1 n 4 families are affected by alcoholism. You are not alone, There is nothing you are feeling, thinking or have done that we have not. Remember always you did not
Cause it; can not Control it nor Cure it (we call that the 3C's). (Neither did/can the alcoholic)

Alcoholism (or addiction of any substance) has several things in common in almost all cases.

1) Denial (I can't quit anytime I want to, or I just need to control it a little better)

2) Enabling (someone usually the spouse or a parent) has been taking over/or covering responsibilities for the addict that they "should" be doing themselves.

3) Someone is at their Wits End Trying to "help" convince the person they have a problem & that it is effecting them & others. Al-anon understands "sick & tired".

Alcoholics have 3 possible outcomes:

1) Death
2) Jail/Prison
3) Recovery

In Al-Anon we learn coping skills, slogans, utilitize sponsors & work the steps of AA in order to deal with addiction. We believe that changed attitudes can aid recovery whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not. There is no situation too hopless to be bettered. I urge you to try it. There are on-line groups to give you an idea, but Face to face meetings are the best place to get the Serenity you deserve. Peace is the objective and Al-anon is a spiritual based pathway that is not affiliated with any religious sect or enitity.

It saved my life. (literally)!

Please continue to pray for my husband so that he could get rid of his addiction to alcohol and to find GOD. He needs God in his life right now.

I will pray for him to get the help he needs to stop drinking. It could be that he needs to go to a rehab for help.

Alcoholism is a disease that does not go away, but can be arrested. I have not had a drink in over a year, but I am still addicted to alcohol. If I pick up a drink, I will be right back in the mess of drinking alcoholically. If I stay sober, and don't drink at all, I can be sane and have the alcoholism in remission.

Please go to an Al-Anon meeting, and learn to take care of yourself, and learn about the disease of alcoholism, and how it effects loved ones.

Trish R.

Dear Jesus, please bless Mimi and her husband. Your deliverance for me has been an unbelievable GLORY to YOUR NAME LORD...BLESS HIM and GLORIFY YOURSELF LORD, in his awakening, his effort to admit, accept help and STOP. Bless and convict them both in your righteousness LORD...I PRAISE YOUR FOR YOUR MERCIES AND DELIVERANCE and claim the blood of JESUS over these two in your name... AMEN.

Hi MIMI,

I also wanted to say that AL-ANON is a good and necessary tool for you. AMAZINGLY I, a recovered alcoholic, have been advised to go there based on someone elses addition in my life! I plan to, because I know the benefit of help and want to counsel some day so I KNOW it will benefit me.

Please remember, your boyfriends change may not come right away and YOU ARE NOT his saviour and it might not be God's will for you to stay for the long hall.

I hope he is responsive to your efforts to help him acknowledge the problem and get help...amen

Alcoholism is a severe disease that progresses and gets worse. Something drastic must happen if you wish for your husband to begin to recover(rehab or an end to enabling). Please be strong and put your foot down and say "no more!". My mother did this to my father and she wishes she would have done it sooner. He is now on the road to recovery and healing has begun for me. God is so good and will take care of you because you are his child. Message me if you would like to know more of my story and what my mom did to help my dad and our family!

Much Love through Christ!
