I’ve been to so many rehabs, AA meetings, self healing, law of attraction and even witchcraft. None of that worked for my sobriety.
As soon as I opened my heart to God my Lord I was saved from the spirit of addiction. I am nothing without out my Lord, I was not able to go sober by myself. I needed the anointing of my Almighty God.
Prayer to my Lord:
I submit to you in the name of Jesus Christ for the devil/addiction has been defeated, thank you Lord for breaking the chains of addiction. You showered me with blessings, peace, holiness, joy, victory and trust in you. I come to you at this moment to thank you for your love,for your protection and for filling me up with the Holy Spirit. You where, is, and will be my refuge. I give you thanks for blessing me with the victory again in my battles. I Surrender and open my heart for you to enter and fill me up with the holy spirit so you can bless me with your strength to keep walking humbly sober by your side in the name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!
Well I prayed God do what you have to do(careful what you pray for)to wake me up.i threw away everything an 8th of weed pipe grinder etc.and well I ended up breaking my back in 2 places a week later lol God spared my legs I had l3-l5 fused bone grafts etc it was miserable the 9 day hospital stay was miserable minus me praying alot and reading scripture I prayed before the accident God take the desire away and after in the hospital and he answered the prayer I’m on 23 days sober off weed alcohol and cigarettes.its like God flipped a switch I have zero desire the thought of cigarettes and alcohol and my other sin makes me sick(which I prayed that before and after the accident)and I’ve tried to think about weed I literally can’t I use to love weed sadly I made it a idol I would think about it always the smell the look the taste but I can’t think about it.God is very good and patient and he answers prayer.i literally have no desire to use anymore nor do I wanna keep company with people who do its sounds nuts but this is the God’s honest truth.
This is an awesome thread. I have been to treatment over 15 times, did therapy, took medications etc and finally when I returned to Jesus Christ and took Him as my Lord and Savior I have gotten one year and almost 9 months sober which is the longest I have ever been sober since I was 14 and I am now 27. I also quit smoking cigarettes too. What happened to me is I found some prayers for addiction on YouTube when I was very desperate and in a very dark place and after that whenever I would use or smoke cigarettes I would get a bad feeling and get really scared… enough to the point where I thought I was dying or going to die and it made me get sober and I haven’t used since. Then I would have these “random” but not random (it was God) bouts where I came across the Sinners Prayer, prayed it and became a Child of God again and what not … then went to online Bible study and since I started doing stuff like that the mental health issues I was struggling with like anxiety and intrusive thoughts have stopped. I am so glad that I have found Jesus Christ again. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Him. I am forever grateful because He freed me.
Yes I would like prayer actually.

Amen on this post and to see some more brothers and sisters in Christ on here!
Jesus is the ONLY one that can heal what’s broken in me.
Pro 27:17 NIV - 17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another
HIS testimony continues to build within me. I continue to offer up what’s not of HIM and what doesn’t align with the Word.
I, too, have been to so many rehabs in other states and countries even and it was a free, radical Christian program that set me free and began my journey with Christ and through the answers to everything only found in Scripture.
Heb 4:12 NIV - 12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Continue to seek His face and His purpose for your life. Spread the good seeds fellow fishermen.
Luk 5:10 NIV - 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.”
Glory to Christ! I’ve been a christian my whole life, sometimes passionate other times not. I began drinking as a Christian and I decided to stop as a Christian. I fully believe that God approaches each individual in different ways. Sometimes its through deliverence from substanse abuse, other times its through different measures. To me it always felt good to know that He loved me even when I didnt love myself. Truth is that God has been with me in all of my struggles. My grusome anxiety attacks and my horrid depressions (often accompanied by heavy drinking) which does still occur every now and then (the psychological issues, not drinking), has all been dealt with in the fellowship of the Lord. He never turned me away even when I was very low.
Why do I write this? The reason is that I want to stress the fact that God loves us immensly regardless of how we do it in life. Some people never stop drinking and might be lead to believe that God ignores them or whatnot. That however is not true. God sometimes want to test our endurance and faith through struggles rather than simply relieving us.
Gods ways are indeed mysterious, but He never leaves us, nor does He give up on us.
God’s ways are indeed mysterious and there’s no specific Checklist for each to follow , all the same.
The Lord speaks to us differently, works with us differently and allows us to experience differently.
One thing is very consistent about the Lord… He is who He says He is, He can do what He says He can do, and He loves each one of us - even in our darkest of times!
