 I have been blinded all along not knowing that I’ve become heavily dependent on alcohol.  I would to ask forgiveness for my weaknesses.  I know I have failed you, but I am working very hard to not to return to that life.  Thank you for showing how much you care for me amidst this difficult time in my life.

 I can feel your presence telling me that I can make it through this uphill battle.  It’s not an easy task to forget about something that has been part of my daily routine for years.  Lord, thank you for giving me this opportunity to realize what I have become.  There are some who aren’t given this chance.

 I will not allow it to further influence my life in a negative way.  All things are possible with you because you are my Redeemer.

Prayer for Alcoholics

Heavenly Father, I feel deeply saddened knowing what people go through who are alcoholics.  It is a very challenging situation to be in, because it involves so many negative emotions.  There are countless instances where good relationships can become destroyed by alcoholism.

 A marriage can end very badly because of this addiction.  Children of parents who are alcoholics do not grow up to have the proper upbringing that they deserve.  Their vision is blinded and their minds get clouded which can lead to both mental and physical abuse.

 Father, I put my whole faith in you in finding a solution to this dilemma.  I pray that you’ll help these troubled souls overcome this cruel addiction.  I believe that through you it is not too late for them to change for the better.  There is always hope within you .

 As a faithful believer, I trust that you’ll be able to help alcoholics win their battle against this addiction.

Amen.

Prayer for a Heroin Addict

Merciful God, you have given me this life.  I am very grateful for your generosity.  Today, I come to you asking for forgiveness.  I have a problem.  Even though I am ashamed to admit it, I know that the first step to recovery is acceptance.  I have been dependent on it for awhile now.

 Heroin makes me feel good but at the expense of everyone who has ever cared for me.  I have finally realized that what I’m doing is wrong.  I also shouldn’t be abusing my body, because it is a special gift you have generously bestowed upon me.  Please give me the fortitude and willpower I need to defeat this addiction.

 It has greatly affected my relationships with the people I love the most.  I know you will not let me face this alone.  I do not want to disappoint your or my family ever again.  Today, I am making a promise to you that I will never again fall to the shadows.  I have decided to quit this vile addiction.

Amen.

Addiction is a terribly challenging thing to deal with.  It is one weakness that quite a few of us have.  Please keep in mind that when I say, “addiction” I’m not just talking about drugs.

 Addiction can take many different forms.  Someone who gets home from work and watches TV until they go to bed everyday could definitely be considered to be addicted to television.

 It can take many forms.

Hopefully with these prayers you or your loved ones can make some progress.  I encourage all who have a problem with addiction to pray and seek professional help.

 Remember that your friends and family are the most important parts of your life.  Do not lose them over something that really doesn’t matter.

 Here are a few resources that may help you or someone you know who is having a problem with addiction:

Alcoholics Anonymous – This is probably one of the largest organizations dedicated to those who suffer from alcoholism.

National Institute on Drug Abuse – A great site that offers plenty of resources regarding drug abuse and addiction.

Overcoming Victim Spirit Prayer of Deliverance

Overcome a Victim Mentality Prayer of Deliverance further down page.

You must change your mindset and line your mind with the Word of God.  Renewing your mind Scriptures of Truth from the Word of God.

Romans 12:2 – And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Philippians 4:8 – Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.

2 Corinthians 4:16 – For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day.

1 Peter 1:13 – Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

Ephesians 4:23 – And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

John 8:32 – And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

To remain free from victim mentality spirit, you must change your poor thinking to God’s way of thinking through the word of God.  Otherwise, you will wrestle with a victim spirit which will attract other demons to assault you.  One of the spirits briefly mentioned is the predator spirit.

The preditor spirit partners up with the victim mentality.  This spirit comes and inflicts physical and emotional pain.  Next is the Poverty Spirit that steals your inheritance, finances, etc.

  Are you one of those who cannot accept that you deserve good things?  It manifest in many ways such as false humulity.

  How about being satisfied with less than God’s best for them?  Do you settle for less and not believe for the best?

The one who abuses you, use you, manipulates you or intimidates you if husband or boss or family members is a spirit of Jealousy. When something good does come your way, does the ones around you get jealousy and tear it down?  Do you allow it?  Turning it around, do you get jealousy when others around you get blessed?  These spirits all work together.

Welfare Spirit

Another spirit is welfare spirit.  A welfare spirit does not own up to the problem.  It will go find someone to solve the problem and to blame.  We need to be problem solvers.

Self-Pity Spirit

When someone has been hurt, abused, rejected, this can open the door to the spirit of Self-Pity spirit.  It is a demon that is given permission to take root in us when we are Unforgiving or even Passive-Aggressive….

  This evil spirit of self-pity is a spirit that will bind you to your hell as if with super glue and not allow you to go on to the future. That is the purpose of self-pity spirit to not fulfill the calling the Lord has for you.

For instance, see Judg. 19:25; 2 Sam. 13: 1-20; John 10:10. When victimization produces trauma, demons often attach themselves to the wounded individual to  advance the diabolical cycle of events. The victim’s fear, intimidation, self-pity, and hopelessness are now satanically supercharged.

Dealing with Pain of Victim Mentality

• First step is to forgive those who abused you.
• Second step is to refuse to replay negative memories after you have forgiven them.  We want to keep a record of wrong.
• Third step is to see yourself as a victor in Christ and not as a victim.
• Fourth Step is going through deliverance.

Overcoming a Victim Mentality Prayer

Prayer #5

Dear God, I come to You as I come to no one else. I am so sorry. I have nearly thrown away my life, my body, my soul —through addiction. But recognition of my addiction has never given me power to control it. You know this. You never blame me.

You know the truth.

Addiction is an attractor field – a low vibrational level. I wound up there because I was trying to escape pain, Or I was trying to experience something transcendent,

And I got stuck.

But there is a better way to escape pain, And there is a better way to touch rapture.

I can receive an authentic calling from You.

Therefore, I surrender myself to what I can be —to that highest level to which You call me. I demand, now, in this moment, Father, that You call me

—that You call me loudly.

You call me and raise me up addiction
—and into a higher level attractor field.

And as You raise me, So do You raise all of Humanity addiction —and into a higher level attractor field. Together we rise, as one force in You, one at a time and together. You raise me because I deserve a better life. You raise me because I am ready to be raised.

You raise me because the world needs me.

I rise and keep rising; I do not fall. I rise because You need me. I am Your Thoughts, Your Voice, Your Hands. I rejoice in my inherent holiness.

For I am where You reside.

You lift me because I have asked
—and because you love me so very much.

Can ever be.

Together WE form a conduit of love. It reaches into my need for addiction and I am healed. By healing myself, I help heal Humanity’s need for addiction. Joy fills my soul. My gratitude is infinite.

Thank You, Beloved Creator.

And so it is.
Amen.

Prayer #6

Lord God in heaven Creator of all things.
You have all power to heal those who are struggling with the devastating disease of addiction.

We pray God you would intercede in their lives and flood their eyes with light. So they can know and understand the hope to which you have called them.

Overcoming addictions through spiritual practice | SSRF English

SSRF publishes these case studies with the intention of providing some direction to our readers with regard to problems that manifest at a physical or psychological level, but which can have their root cause in the spiritual dimension.

When the root cause of a problem is spiritual in nature we have observed that the inclusion of spiritual healing remedies generally gives the best results. SSRF advises continuation of conventional medical treatment along with spiritual healing remedies for the treatment of physical and psychiatric illnesses.

Readers are advised to take up any spiritual healing remedy at their own discretion.

Abstract: Cyriaque from Paris was addicted to smoking cigarettes, marijuana (pot) and alcohol. He overcame addiction to marijuana through sheer will power.

However will power was not enough to help him quit smoking and consuming of alcohol.

This case study explains in his own words how he could stop smoking and drinking when he started spiritual practice that conformed to the six basic principles of spiritual practice.

1. Cyriaque’s addictions

I was addicted to smoking cigarettes & marijuana (pot) and alcohol.   

1.1 Addiction to alcohol

I had my first drink with some friends from my Judo training club when I was around 18 years old. I was shy and introverted and having alcohol helped me open up and speak to people and girls. On average, I would drink about 1 litre of beer or about 5 glasses of whisky but only on weekends when going out.

My maximum intake was about 2-3 litres of beer or 1 bottle of wine or half bottle of whisky. I would start drinking normally but after sometime would lose control, get drunk and then would feel sick for days. By nature, I tend to be nice and calm but many a time my friends experienced a change in my behaviour after getting drunk.

Once a friend commented, “Last night you were another person, a devil.”

1.2 Addiction to cigarettes

I started smoking cigarettes at around 23 to 24 years of age when I started modelling in 1994. I smoked around half a pack to one pack a day. After a year or two sometimes when I would go out, I would smoke 2 packs of cigarettes per day.

When smoking I would not smoke slowly. In just 4 to 5 draws, I would run through the cigarettes a chimney. I smoked a lot for 4 years. I had an intense desire to stop smoking, as I really did not feel good about it. I could feel it ruining my health. Moreover the cost was quite a lot, but I just could not stop.

1.3 Addiction to marijuana (marihuana, pot)

I also started smoking marijuana at about 24 years of age, mostly among friends who would ask me if I want it. At first I smoked little, one joint once a month for about 2 years. Then at age 26, I started smoking 1 joint every evening for 6 months.

Then the next 6 months I smoked crazy, 10 joints a day from 8 am till late evening. When I would not smoke, I would get irritable and this scared me. So one day I thought to myself, ‘This is going to kill me, I have to stop’’ and just stopped on will power. But the habit did not leave me entirely.

I still continued to smoke pot occasionally until 1998.

2. Overcoming addiction to smoking and drinking after starting spiritual practice

In February 1999, I came in contact with the Spiritual Science Research Foundation (SSRF) where the concept about how addiction is caused by ancestral problems was explained to me. This explained to me why my will power failed to overcome my smoking and drinking.

I was advised to chant the special protection chant of ‘Shrī Gurudev Datta‘ to relieve distress from ancestral problems. I started chanting the very moment I was told.

After only 3 days of intense chanting, when I started to smoke a cigarette, after just one draw I could not continue and extinguished the cigarette.

Then I realised that this must again be due to some ancestor satisfying his desire to smoke, but this time I could stop easily as I was chanting the Name of God and was aware of the causes of why I was smoking. For the next one year, I was smoking 2 to 3 cigarettes on a few occasions only.

Since 2001, I stopped completely and until now I have not touched a cigarette.

My marijuana habit which consisted of occasional joints continued till about a year after starting spiritual practice.Then it went away by itself. To date, I have not done a joint again.

Similarly my drinking also reduced immediately after starting the chanting. Before I started spiritual practice I would get drunk very often, almost every weekend.

After starting to chant ‘Shri Gurudev Datta’, I drank little and for a few times only. Since 2003, I stopped drinking alcohol entirely.

Since I am French and drinking wine is a national habit, nowadays just on a very rare occasion I drink half a glass of wine.

I see so many people who are struggling to stop smoking and despite having firm convictions, putting on nicotine patches and taking medicine they are unable to overcome it.

By applying spiritual remedies, I was cured faster without spending money on any medicines or any kind of therapy.
