I need other Christians in my life especially at work. I’ve been praying that God leads me to a small group also. I still battle drinking but it has gotten better. My son does not talk to me because of my drinking. My finances are a wreck too. Pleases help

Hi, friend!
I’m proud of you! You just did something courageous and admitted to yourself and others that you are battling with alcohol. Did you realize that you accomplished the hardest step toward recovery?! Cause you totally just did. And that deserves a high five.
Addiction that takes on any form is a painful thing for everyone it contacts. Whenever we see people we love and care about hurting themselves in some way or another, it hurts us too. I imagine that isn’t any different for your son. He loves you. So it hurts.
But that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the line! You’ve got the spark of divinity in you, my dear. Can you even fathom what that means you are capable of?! It definitely means you are capable of being sober and enjoying it, spending great time with your son, and not feeling lonely anymore – with people around or by yourself.
Ask yourself… What gives me strength? What’s always with me no matter what I say or do? Where should I look for guidance and courage? What can make me feel strong and confident enough to decide not to drink today?
If you do, I bet you’ll find your answer!!! And I bet you’ll feel better, too.
And maybe this may help: Fifteen minutes. Stay sober for fifteen minutes. That’s TOTALLY achievable, right? You got 15 minutes, no problem! But then, when that fifteen minutes is up, stay sober for fifteen minutes. It’s just another fifteen little minutes, you know? Before you know it, you’ll be hours and hours sober. Then days. Then weeks. And there will be a time, I promise, that you will go days and weeks and even months without even thinking about drinking because alcohol will no longer be clouding your mind.
Satan and his minions look for any and every opportunity to get even the tiniest foot in the door, metaphorically. Any weak point, they will find and use to their advantage. Alcohol, drugs, gambling and other addictions are their go-to weapon of choice. If we fortify ourselves with our relationship with God, we make it much harder for them to gain entrance.
I have faith in you, dear friend. Like I said, you’ve done the hardest part. And I am proud of you. But better than that, taking the necessary steps to strengthen yourself and your closeness with God makes God proud of you. And that is the only place you’ll find real significance.
Love & Respect,
Faeryn

“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them” (Matthew 18:20). This shows the power of community. Have you looked into any local churches or online groups that might offer small group meetings? Also, addressing the drinking issue could be a significant step in mending relationships and stabilizing your finances.

I’m confused. Did you paraphrase my response on purpose?
AI spam. I flagged the post.
I know that you feel alone. I am sorry that you are dealing with that.
God, i pray you enfold them in your arms. Bring rhem your comfort during their struggle with loneliness. Bless them with a person in their life who cares for them and who can help them find the people you choose to be in their life. Lord help them to gain control over their addiction to alcohol. May they find peace and love in you and a new church, or a new group in the one they attend. One that makes them feel your welcoming love, eternal presence and lasting peace in their heart. Remove from thier lives the people they do not need and guide them to those people who they do need and who show them your unfailing love.
In Jesus Christs Holy name i pray,
Amen
I prayed constantly for about five years to be healed and then one day, bang, the addiction was gone
Please Jehovah Rophe (Exodus 15:26 The LORD our Healer )heal this poor soul of her addiction. I pray this in the name of He who healed the man of the demons, Jesus Christ. Amen
