Prayer for freedom from alcohol

Hello and Happy Easter!

I have been working on an online Bible based stop addiction program and tomorrow is my quit date. Alcohol has been an on and off problem since the end of 2015 and in that time it's prevented me from reaching goals in different areas of my life. This online program I have attempted several times before and now id the furthest I've gotten with it.
So I ask for your prayer as I enter this hopefully new chapter of my life, rediscovering the joys of a sober life, free of addiction and getting round to all my plans that have been delayed these last few years.

Your brother in Christ.

John 8:36

What a wonderful post!

Thank you for offering yourself as an example to others who are struggling with the same issue. Alcohol is a monster . . . it is the most deceiving of drugs.

Powerful, Almighty God . . . we come to you with a sense of urgency. We ask that you would help to set Jason free of the incredible addiction and need to feel better. Father, give him the self-understanding that it is normal to desire to feel better . . . Lord, help Jason come to forgive himself if he has not already. Lord, just as we have seen so many times in your Holy Word, we ask that you would change the way he thinks, or views alcohol, so that he might be repelled just enough to give it up for good. We pray this prayer in the Name of your Powerful Son, Jesus . . . Amen.

As much as possible, try to eliminate all things that cause you misery . . . the reasons to drink. When we change our outside circumstances to become more healthy and positive, there is less need to live in a daze, watching the years pass by like cars from a ferry. Believe in yourself. In fact, learn to be confident. Healthy confidence! What is that? Healthy confidence is balanced thinking in all things relating to yourself. Truly confident people neither are in love with themselves nor do they hate themselves. They spend less time thinking of themselves and more about the well-being of others. If you learn to think more is these ways . . . your whole life will change.

I believe in you!

Amen. I love that I can pray along with someone!

@CS1 @PaulHumphries777 Thank you both for your prayers! It has been almost 4 weeks now since I have drank and I doubt I would have gotten this far without my opening myself up to the "powerful effect of good people's prayer"(James 5.16)
