Update on my drinking
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I wanted to update all of you who have prayed for me in the past few weeks. It's hard for me not to want to drink every evening to dull my pain. Some things get better and then it seems like things go 2 steps back. I was asking for prayers for my son, and I thank you for those who prayed. He did find a good job and should be starting it within the week. He is still unable to see his new baby daughter as her mother has an angry heart right now. It has been over a week since he has seen her. He was calling everyday to check on her but lately the mother has been yelling so much and he knows that his daughter is in the room, he is afraid to call anymore. My heart is breaking over all of this. So much sadness when we should all be rejoicing in this new beautiful life. Please continue to pray for my family and please pray for my Granddaughter, pray that she is happy and healthy and that she will remember us all when we do get to see her.

Lord help her to find a Godly church home and let others into her life to do things besides drink. Lord heal her son. Let him get to know his daughter and get to see her. Bring peace in this life. In Jesus Name. amen.

Father, Mary needs help and I pray that she gets it. May she seek out treatment and support that she needs to get a handle on this addiction. I pray that she is being realistic and truly set upon getting help to move forward in her life free from the addictiveness of alcohol.
Father, place people in her life who will show her that she needs to get treatment and who will be there for her as she goes through treatment. May she realize that even drinking a little is wrong for an alcoholic. Problems will always persits, so she needs to be that much more admanent about not drinking to as she puts it to dull the pain.
Father, You are moving in the situation with her son and I thank You for the open doors. May he do well at this new job. Father, I also pray that You will work things out in regards to him seeing his child. If he needs to go to court and petition the court for custody, joint or full, may he do that without hesitation.
But in any case, Mary needs help Lord and I pray that she see that and make the decision to change for the better for the rest of her life. Give her the strength, the courage and the fortitude to stand up and ask for help and go and receive the help that is out there for alcoholics.
You love her, Lord and want for her to life a wonderful abundant life. May she see that and desire to do what is best. So be it, Lord. I pray. Amen

Lord God, may Mary get lost in YOU, not the bottle. Show her the way to freedom, Jesus, is in focusing on You, not on the problems. I know it sounds simplistic. But whenever I am stressing, in pain, etc., when I force myself to focus on YOU, I no longer want to reach for the crutch.... Help Mary to face herself realistically and admit her need. Do not let her be like those on here with relationship addiction and treat alchohol like it's so good to her, when really it is killing her. Show her that she is making alcohol her god, not YOU, and that without YOU at the #1 place in her life, she will NEVER be free. It's takes her WILL and Your POWER. Father, help Mary to really and truly turn this over to You. Do not let her reach for the alcohol, like so many return to that co-depedant relationship. Because they think they need it to survive, when really it is unhealthy for them and bringing them down. I pray Mary will see that only in realizing the truth of what alcohol is doing to her, will she begin to get help. Only when she would rather treat her body and herself with the respect it deserves, will she EVER begin on the path to getting free. She has to want the freedom more than the alcohol. It has to get to painful to remain as she is. Only then will she change. So, push her to that point. I pray and ask for her deliverance.
Work in the situation with her son and grand daughter as well. Provide for this son to have a relationship with his child. I pray that You will intervene and make sure this child is with the best possible parent. Protect this child from parental fighting (over her) and from a negative home enviornment. Continue to bless her son with favor, as You did in giving him the job. Make him an awesome child of God, and one who can share the love of Jesus with his child.
Save the mother of his child as well, that she may be a positive influence on their child for the Lord. Bring a mighty conviction upon her through Your Holy Spirit that will lead her to Godly sorrow, leading to repentance unto salvation.
I ask and pray these things, in Jesus Name, amen.
