Prayers Needed

For those of you who believe in the power of prayer as I do, I need to request that you pray for my fiance' Jeff. Jeff has struggled for years with the affliction of alcoholism. After having been sober for nearly 3 years, he has relapsed. I just got back from taking him to a detox center where he will be for the next 10 days, reestablishing his foundation in recovery. I am feeling hopeful that he can get "back on track", but at the same time, I am feeling fear that the nightmare is going to start all over again. If you could please pray for him, I would be very grateful. ~Teri~

HI Teri, I have said a prayer for Jeff and you. I pray that Jeff will get a grip and not let alcohol be his best friend. Alcoholism is a terrible disease that destroys people and familys. My mothers second husband was a raging alcoholic, while he and my mom were together he was in and out of at least 9 rehabs. How are you holding up, this has to be especially hard for you. Many prayers and God's blessings to you. God bless, Jen

Teri, (((HUGS))) Jeff will be in my thoughts and prayers! I know this is going to be a difficult time for you. My best friend (I should say -ex) is an alcoholic and addict. My DH had enough of her using us and finally when we moved into our new home this year he said she can't know where we live. So she doesn't know. She would show up in the middle of the night either stoned or drunk because her boyfriend had thrown her out. It became old. And not a good sight for my kids. I kept thinking I could help her get clean (because I remembered the person she was) but I finally realized the only one who could help her was HER. She had to want it and she doesn't. I still love her and pray for her. And I wonder what is rock bottom for her (she lost her 3 kids to her ex, lost her home, her car and her parents disowned her)? I just can't keep enabling her. Just 2 weeks ago she took one of her other friends for several hundred dollars saying she was going to clean up and moved in with her - lasted all of 3 days!! She moved out after taking her for what she could "use" her for. Anyway the reason I am telling you this is because you are someone who understands because not many people do. Sorry for going on and on... I am here if you need to talk and my prayers go out to you!! Thank God Jeff reached out for help! I am hopeful that he will get back on track and I still pray for my friend who I will always love like a sister. Hugs, Julie

I will pray for Jeff. I will pray for you. I know the pain. My mother was an alcoholic and my precious sister is a full blown heroin addict. Since you asked for prayer, I am assuming you know that God is in the business of healing and from saving from these horrible addictions. He really is the only way, our only hope. Of course He uses recovery programs and rehab places sometimes in the process. I pray that Jeff will want his sobriety more than anything else on earth and that he is willing to fight with everything that he has and goes to God for everything he doesn't have to have full victory over his addicition. It really is a spiritual battle that must be won with spiritual weapons, pray and completely surrender to a Saviour that longs to free him from this disease. I am praying that Jeff ha**** bottom, this time, this will be his last time. I am asking God to put the right people in his life to help him and to help you. I am asking for God to strengthen you and give you wisdom. Make sure you seek out, develop and cling to a really good support system for yourself. You don't want this disease to engolf and distroy your life, robbing you of peace and a healthy life. I am asking God to make His presence so real to you right now. That you will feel His comfort and peace. God bless you. J. Marie

Teri~ I sent you a private email. Dawn

I have said a prayer for not just Jeff, but for you, too, as the pain that this causes goes far deeper and wider than just him. I am praying for the best outcome for you both. Lisa

Teri, I am sorry to hear that. I will keep you both in my prayers. Leeanne

Teri, You and Jeff are in my prayers {{HUGS}} Susan

Teri, I am so sorry that you have to go through this. I hope that you and Jeff can get through this rough patch. Sending positive vibes your way. Regards and hugs, Ronna

Teri, I will say a prayer for Jef. I had the problem in my family, my father and brother in law. My Father stopped in his olden years and my brother in law was a tragedy. This is hard on all, and we know the alcholic does not want to be that way. Take care, Rosemary
