People often say: “If there were no wine, we would not be drunkards.” Aren't they crazy?! They themselves sin, but it’s God’s gift?! Is wine the cause of all evil?! Of course not! The cause of these evils is intemperance, the abuse of wine. It’s better to say: “If there were no drunkenness, then...” You can also say: “It would be better if there was no iron, because there are murderers; if there were no night, there would be no thieves, etc.” You just want to destroy and exterminate everything. And all because it is not wine that needs to be despised, but the dependence on it. This is a satanic spirit.

Oh, merciful Mother of God, touch their hearts and quickly raise them from the falls of sin, bring them to saving abstinence.

Pray to Your Son, Christ our God, to forgive us our sins and not to turn His mercy away from His people, but to strengthen us in sobriety and chastity.

Accept, O Most Holy Theotokos, the prayers of mothers who shed tears for their children, of wives who weep for their husbands, of children, orphans and wretches, abandoned by those who have gone astray, and of all of us who fall before Your icon. And may this cry of ours, through Your prayers, come to the throne of the Most High.

Cover and protect us from the evil trap and all the snares of the enemy, in the terrible hour of our exodus, help us to pass through the airy ordeals without stumbling, with Your prayers deliver us from eternal condemnation, so that the mercy of God will cover us for the endless ages of ages. Amen".

Prayers for alcoholism, or how to overcome drunkenness with the help of faith

When a terrible disease called “alcoholism” comes to a family, the drinker’s relatives are ready to take any measures to cope with it. Convictions and requests, coding, drug therapy sometimes do not bring the desired result, and sometimes they change a person in ways that are not better side. In such cases, prayer for drunkenness becomes the last hope; even inveterate skeptics can turn to higher powers.

How it works

Official science denies the possibility of healing from alcoholism with the help of prayers and other alternative methods. They explain their position by the fact that dependence on alcohol is a serious illness that provokes changes in the human psyche and physiology. However, even narcologists admit that the desire to get rid of the disease must come from within. The goal of traditional therapy is to induce aversion to any type of alcohol using medication or psychological influence.

In Orthodoxy and other religions, drunkenness is a disease of the soul generated by demonic influence. Turning to God through prayer can purify a person and encourage him to give up bad habit and return to your normal lifestyle.

The effectiveness of the method has no scientific explanation, but there are many cases where this particular method helped. Prayers against drunkenness and alcoholism work only with sincere, strong faith into God. Requests that do not come from the heart are unlikely to bring positive results. In this complex matter it is important A complex approach, you need to support the patient, protect him from temptations and reasons to return to the old ways.

The most effective prayers

The Orthodox faith is capable of giving relief from addiction to alcohol to anyone who is sincere and truly wants to overcome it. It is not necessary to read a special prayer; even the simplest “Our Father” has amazing power if the words come from the heart.

There are several saints in Christianity, appealing to whom can save you from drunkenness.

To heal men

Representatives most often suffer from addiction to alcohol strong half humanity. If the addict is unable to cope on his own, turning to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker will help. The wife must perform this ritual:

• on Thursday, buy a candle in the temple;
• place the faces of Christ, Nicholas the Wonderworker, Matrona and the Virgin Mary near it;
• Prepare a container with clean water.

After this say the text:

“Wonderworker Nicholas, I turn to you with a prayer. Generously have mercy and deliver my husband from demonic drunkenness. Against his will, they found disgust and devastated his craving for drunken libations. He will not sip, swallow or pour out harmful drink without a shudder. And he will sip and pour the property into the belly of holy water. Thy will be done. Amen".

The prayer is said three times in an empty room, focusing on the vessel. After such a conspiracy, water acquires miraculous powers. The liquid must be added to the husband for 40 days; it cannot be skipped.

To save a son from drunkenness, the same ritual is performed in front of the icon of Boniface, addressing the martyr:

“O all-holy Boniface, merciful servant of the Merciful Master! Hear those who come running to you, obsessed with the addiction to drinking wine, and just as in your earthly life you never refused to help those who asked you, so now deliver these unfortunates (names). Amen".

Boniface during his life adhered to paganism and was a drunkard, but after touching the holy relics he gained faith, for which he later died in agony. Turning to him is considered one of the most powerful prayers that helps save loved ones.

No less effective is a prayer to John of Kronstadt, canonized for helping ordinary workers overcome alcoholism. You need to pray to his face in church, always in front of candles, reciting the text of chapter 15 of the gospel:

“Holy John, look mercifully on Thy servant (name of the alcoholic), seduced by the flattery of the belly and carnal pleasure. Help him to know the sweetness of abstinence in fasting and to reap the fruits of the Spirit. Amen".

These simple words can work a miracle and save you from years of drunkenness.

If the husband is far away

An appeal to Matrona of Moscow can cure a man at a distance:

“Oh, Blessed Elder Matrona of Moscow, I turn to you with a prayer. Not for wealth and prosperity, but about her drinking husband. Free him with your mercy from alcohol addiction and do not let his immortal soul perish. As soon as he touches the bottle, hit him on the back of the head. As soon as he takes a sip, he will feel a little sick. As soon as he gets drunk again, let him immediately become hysterical. Tears will flow from his eyes, he will drink for the last time. Thy will be done. Amen".

The words are spoken in front of the icon every day until the beloved man returns. Judging by the reviews, prayer works even if the patient is against therapy.

To heal women

Alcoholism of the weaker half of humanity is a terrible sight and difficult to treat. Once dependent on alcohol, a woman quickly degrades and often cannot stop on her own. To help a mother or daughter recover, you can turn to the Mother of God.

The prayer “Inexhaustible Chalice” is said in front of the icon bearing the same name. It depicts the Virgin Mary and the baby resting in a vessel, after drinking from which any person receives consolation and satisfies spiritual needs.

And here is the prayer itself:

“Oh, Most Merciful Lady! We now resort to Your intercession, do not despise our prayers, but mercifully hear us: wives, children, mothers and those obsessed with the serious illness of drunkenness, and for this, for the sake of our mother - the Church of Christ and the salvation of those who fall away, brothers and sisters, and heal our relatives. Oh, Merciful Mother of God, touch their hearts and quickly raise them from the falls of sin, bring them to saving abstinence. Pray to Your Son, Christ our God, to forgive us our sins and not to turn His mercy away from His people, but to strengthen us in sobriety and chastity. Accept, O Most Holy Theotokos, the prayers of mothers for their children shedding tears, wives for their weeping husbands, children, the orphaned and the poor, abandoned as lost, and all of us who fall before Your icon. And may this cry of ours, through Your prayers, come to the Throne of the Most High. Cover and protect us from the evil trap and all the snares of the enemy, in the terrible hour of our exodus, help us to pass through the airy ordeals without stumbling, with Your prayers deliver us from eternal condemnation, may God’s mercy cover us for the endless ages of ages. Amen".

For the words to have an effect, the person asking must repent and order a prayer service with an akathist to the Mother of God, and also recite the sacred text at least 12 times a day in a calm atmosphere.

To heal yourself

Some people realize the dangers of alcohol and independently turn to God asking for deliverance.

To cure addiction, the patient must read a prayer to Moses Murin. This saint voluntarily put an end to drinking and a riotous lifestyle and saved others from this. A prayer service is ordered in a church or asked for at a holy house, making sure to place candles and other icons nearby.

“Oh, the great power of repentance! Oh, the immeasurable depth of God's mercy! You, Reverend Moses, were formerly a robber, but, horrified by your sins, you grieved for them and in repentance came to the monastery and there, in great lamentation over your former iniquities and in difficult feats of fasting and prayer, you spent your days until your death and was awarded Christ’s grace of forgiveness. and the gift of miracles. Oh, reverence, you have achieved wonderful virtues from grave sins! Help the servants of God who pray to you, who are drawn to destruction from the immeasurable wine of consumption, which damages the immortal soul and body - the temple of the Holy Spirit. Bow your merciful gaze upon them and do not despise them, but listen to them as they come running to you. Pray, Holy Moses, Lord Christ. May He, the Merciful, not reject them, powerless and unfortunate, perishing from the passion of excessive wine drinking, and may the devil not rejoice at their destruction, for all of us, as creatures of God, have been redeemed by the Most Pure Blood of His Son. Hear, Reverend Moses, their prayer and ours. Drive away the devil from them, grant them the strength to overcome their passion, lead them to the path of good, free them from the slavery of passions, deliver them from the harm of excessive wine drinking, so that, renewed, in spiritual sobriety and a bright mind, they love all abstinence and piety and eternally glorify the Savior The All-Good God is always His creation, and to Him belongs glory, honor and worship forever and ever. Amen".

An additional rule for every day is to pray to the “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon several times before going to bed.

Rules for turning to God

Church ministers advise asking to be delivered from drunkenness in church by first confessing and receiving communion.

A person praying must not only recite sacred texts, but also live according to the canons of Orthodoxy:

During prayer, you cannot think about your problems; you need to focus on the desire to help your loved one.

It is not necessary to ask for healing in church; an akathist (a song glorifying a saint, at the end of which there is a request) can be read at home and even at a party. The main thing is to retire and take a break from ordinary affairs. The prayers are written in a special language, difficult to pronounce for ordinary people; the church allows them to be spoken simply in Russian. The sacred words can be spoken (aloud or silently) by the dependent person or a loved one by agreement with the patient or on his own initiative.

The appeal to God must begin with the “Our Father”, and then move on to the akathist. The prayer is said standing in front of the icons with a lit candle.

Interestingly, the effectiveness of prayers is higher if they come from an alcoholic. But miracles are possible even in hopeless cases, when relatives, without the knowledge of the patient, ask to guide him on the right path.

However, you should not expect that just turning to God is enough to save a man or woman from addiction.

Treatment of alcoholism with prayers does not bring instant results and must be combined with other methods. It is important to provide moral support, strengthen his health and distract him from the desire to drink. Therapy is not stopped, even if the patient has breakdowns.

How to pray for a drinking husband, son, or loved one

Very often people ask questions: “How to pray for drinking man? What prayers can help him? What icons should one turn to so that a person susceptible to the passion of alcoholism receives a speedy healing?”

We understand: it is very important to help a drinking person spiritually. An alcohol dependent person is often a person possessed, a person who has been possessed by a fallen spirit, a demon, through the passion of alcoholism. Only God can help an alcohol-dependent person break out of a state of obsession.

But God helps when He is asked for help. If they do not ask God for help, if they refuse His help, then this help does not come.

God does not force himself on anyone. He gave every person free will and expects from a person a free expression of will, a free desire to come to Him.

What to do if an alcoholic person is in such a difficult spiritual state that he cannot turn to God for help, when he cannot and does not want to come to the temple of God? In this case, he needs the spiritual help of family and friends.

Our regular reader shared an effective method that saved her husband from ALCOHOLISM. It seemed that nothing would help, there were several codings, treatment at a dispensary, nothing helped. An effective method recommended by Elena Malysheva helped. EFFECTIVE METHOD

First of all, they need to start praying for the person suffering from alcoholism. This could be home prayer, it could be church prayer. You should also give alms and do good deeds to save the drinking person.

It is very important that such a person lives according to the commandments of God and is a churchgoer. So that he observes fasts, has no mortal sins, regularly confesses and receives communion. Then his prayer will have real power.

Amen"

In addition to the “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon, the face of the Holy Matrona of Moscow is also capable of fighting alcoholism. By turning to it daily, you can get rid of even the most severe addiction.

Prayers against alcoholic drinks

There are special prayers for alcoholism that encode an energy resource and force the alcoholic to urgently stop drinking. Some people don’t believe in such healing, but other people have nothing more to count on. In order not to drink, they are ready to do anything, but willpower and spirit are sorely lacking.

The inexhaustible prayer against drunkenness has been passed on from mouth to mouth for many years; moreover, it has helped more than one generation in the fight against such a destructive habit. It should be read not only by alcoholics, but also by relatives who suffer from alcohol addiction in one of their household members.

All skeptics should note that prayer for drunkenness acts as powerfully as medical coding for alcoholism. Some especially religious people sincerely believe that in order to stop drinking, you need to read a prayer to the icon several times a day.

Grant him to know the sweetness of abstinence in fasting and the fruits of the Spirit flowing from it.

1. I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.

2. Every branch of Me that does not bear fruit He cuts off; and every one that bears fruit he cleanses, that it may bear more fruit.

3. You have already been purified through the word that I preached to you.

4. Abide in Me, and I in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it is in the vine, so neither can you unless you are in Me.

5. I am the vine, and you are the branches; He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

6. Whoever does not abide in Me will be cast out like a branch and wither; and such branches are collected and thrown into the fire, and they burn.

7. If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

8. By this will My Father be glorified, if you bear much fruit and become My disciples.

9. As the Father has loved Me, I have loved you; abide in My love.

10. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

11. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.

12. This is My commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.

13. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

14. You are My friends if you do what I command you.

15. I no longer call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have told you everything that I have heard from My Father.

16. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name, He may give it to you.

17. This I command you, that you love one another.

18. If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before you.

19. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; But because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

20. Remember the word that I said to you: A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you too; If they have kept my word, they will also keep yours.

21. But they will do all these things to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.

22. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

23. He who hates Me also hates my Father.

24. If I had not done among them works that no one else had done, they would not have had sin; but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father.

25. But let the word that is written in their law be fulfilled: They have hated Me without cause.

26.When the Comforter comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me;

27. And you also will testify, because you were with Me from the beginning.

First prayer

Oh, reverend, you have achieved wonderful virtues from grave sins!

Help also the servant of God (name) who prays to you, who is drawn to destruction from the immeasurable wine of consumption, which damages the immortal soul and body - the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Bow your merciful gaze upon them and do not despise them, but listen to them as they come running to you.

Pray, Holy Moses, the Lord Christ, that He, the Merciful, would not reject them, powerless and unfortunate, who were possessed by the passion of excessive wine drinking, and that the devil would not rejoice at their destruction, for we all, as creatures of God, have been redeemed by the Most Pure Blood of His Son.

Hear, Reverend Moses, their prayer and ours.

Drive away the devil from them, grant them the strength to defeat their passion, lead them to the path of good, free them from the slavery of passion, deliver them from the destruction of immeasurable wine drinking,

so that, renewed, in spiritual sobriety and a bright mind, they would love all abstinence and piety and eternally glorify the All-Good God, who always saves His creation, to Him be due glory, honor and worship forever and ever.

Second prayer

Oh, the great power of repentance!

Oh, the immeasurable depth of God's mercy!

You, Reverend Moses, were formerly a robber, but then you were horrified by your sins, grieved over them and in repentance came to the monastery and there, in great lamentation over your iniquities and in difficult deeds, you spent your days until your death and were awarded Christ’s grace of forgiveness and the gift of miracles.

Oh, reverend one, you have achieved wonderful virtues from grave sins, help the servants of God (names) who pray to you, who are drawn to destruction from the fact that they indulge in the immeasurable consumption of wine, harmful to the soul and body.

Bow your merciful gaze upon them, do not reject them or despise them, but listen to them as they come running to you.

Pray, holy Moses, to the Lord Christ, so that He, the Merciful, does not reject them, and may the devil not rejoice at their destruction, but may the Lord have mercy on these powerless and unfortunate (names), who are possessed by the destructive passion of drunkenness, because we are all God's creatures and redeemed by the Most Pure Blood of His Son.

Hear, Reverend Moses, their prayer, drive away the devil from them, grant them the strength to overcome their passion, help them, extend your hand, lead them to the path of good,

free them from the slavery of passions and deliver them from drinking wine, so that, renewed, in sobriety and a bright mind, they love abstinence and piety and eternally glorify the All-Good God, who always saves His creatures.

Baptist of Christ, preacher of repentance, do not despise me who repents, but copulating with the heavenly ones, pray to the Lady for me, unworthy, sad, weak and sad, fallen into many troubles, troubled by the stormy thoughts of my mind.

Because I am a den of evil deeds, I have no end to sinful customs, because my mind is nailed down by earthly things.

What will I do? We don't know.

And to whom shall I resort, that my soul may be saved?

Only to you, Saint John, give the same name of grace, for you are before the Lord through the Mother of God greater than all those born, for you were honored to touch the top of the King Christ, who takes away the sins of the world, the Lamb of God.

Pray to Him for my sinful soul, so that from now on, at the first tenth hour, I will bear a good burden and accept recompense with the last.

To her, the Baptist of Christ, an honest Forerunner, an extreme Prophet, the first martyr in grace, a teacher of fasters and hermits, a teacher of purity and a close friend of Christ!

I pray to you, I come running to you: do not reject me from your intercession, but raise me up, having fallen into many sins.

Renew my soul with repentance, as with the second baptism, since you are the leader of both: with baptism you wash away the original sin, and with repentance you cleanse every bad deed.

Cleanse me, defiled by sins, and bring me, even if nothing bad enters, into the Kingdom of Heaven.
