    I was diagnosed with cirrhosis at 34. Then liver cancer around a year later. I was wrong about booze, I'm from Appalachia it's encouraged here as heritage. But it's my fault. I gave my life to God. They told me I wouldn't live a year but it's been 2 and the tumors have shrunk and are no longer cancerous. Praise God and put that bottle down. It's worth it. I have a terminal illness and I'm in the best shape of my life...and I've never been happier.

      Excuse me for chiming in but I believe I just got a message from Jesus for you
      He wanted me to comment here telling you to change your mind on having a terminal Illness. And focus on that illness fading just how the alcoholism has.
      Prayers to you! 🙏🏾❤️

But for some reason, no credit to myself, can't explain it, the Lord took away my desire for any kind of alcohol, actually developed a repulsiveness for it. Still battling marijuana, but it baffles me why He took away one and not the other, but only He knows, He's in control. HIS WILL, NOT MINES

      I am so glad for you that God took away the desire for alcohol. I hope that He will take away the desire for weed for you. I bought the book, The Liber Christo Method, A field manual for spiritual combat. It is actually the protocol that real exorcist(Fr. Chad Ripperger, and Dan Schneider) use. It is really good. The spiritual battle is real and difficult. Best of luck to you.@@cjax3735

      Weed has other uses than how we abuse it. I'm guessing it's too important a gift to remove completely. The Bible doesn't say never drink wine, it's says be sober of mind and enjoy responsibly. We confuse that because of alcohol and drug issues. I too have not been completely released from the urge to be altered. I'm guessing it's up to us to make good use of the gift. The miraculous lifting of alcoholism is proof and motivation to us. We still have to finish the work testifying and living correctly.

    I grew up with an alcoholic. My step father died when I was 6 years old and my mother started drinking to numb her pain. I remember how scared I was of her at times and I knew it was a demon in her. Her eyes used to turn black. I used to hide her bottles and she would freak out or I would dump half the bottle of booze and fill it with water. When things got bad, I would barricade myself and my dog in my bedroom and push my dresser against the door so she couldn't get in. I used to go to school with no sleep because I was constantly fighting this. The stories I could tell.
    My dad lived in the US and came to get me a few times, but I always wanted to go back to my mom because I was scared she was going to die. She'd get her act together for a while...even a few years sober, then it would revert back to the same old stuff.
    It was tough, looking back and I promised myself I would never do that to my kids. I don't drink.
    I moved away, had kids and eventually had her move in with us after friends of mine checking up on her said she was drinking herself to death. So, the stipulation was no drinking in my home. She was the best grandmother to my kids until she died in my arms. And I thank our Lord every day for those good memories.
    It's still painful at times but God has opened my eyes and heart to forgiveness. Let go and let God!

    I’ve never had a problem with alcohol or illicit drugs. However I have one daughter who is an alcoholic and one daughter who is a recovering drug addict. It’s difficult for me to understand these addictions, but I also know God is able to rid you of addictions immediately. Please pray for my beautiful daughters. They really are trying to get and stay clean. And pray for me because I don’t know how to help them.

      Keep praying for them, sister. That' s how you can help. And I know this because 2 of my 5 children have addiction issues and the other 3 have all had their run-ins and issues with substances. God had answered my prayers by making the 2 (almost & mostly) sober and has protected the other 3 in very, very obvious ways. it is apparent to me that God is literally ANSWERING my prayers. So for your 2 daughters, what you do to help them is pray & cry out to YHWH our Father God with all of your specific prayers for them and He will answer.

    More insidious than alcohol is weed. (Alcohol gets you sloppy drunk but weed is easier to justify) That was my drug of choice and I never thought I’d be able to quit. Only by the grace of God was I able to stop. I had to ask to lose the desire for it. Cried out from the depths of my soul did I ask to lose the desire bc I knew I depended on it for everything and I didn’t want to quit. I only wanted to stop for the Lord and wasn’t sure I’d be saved…in fact I was so addicted I knew I put it above everything so I knew in my heart i had to stop or I’d be a fool and be very sorry one day. Praise God for His mercy and Grace. Don’t gamble with your life! He will help you lose the desire if you ask from a sincere place.

    There is one main thing I want to tell anyone thinking of quitting or about to quit, particularly those for whom it appears as a challenge:
    The experience of not drinking after you quit is NOT the experience of being a non drinker! Its the experience you have right after you quit! Your body needs time to heal, to adapt, to adjust. So does your mind. You wont have the experience of being a non drinker until weeks or perhaps months have passed, depending on personal factors. So DONT GIVE UP. IT GETS BETTER FAST.
    You will be amazed at how quickly your new life becomes normal.
    After that, try to discover what malfunction led you into that state so that you dont repeat it. You didnt enter into excessive drinking by chance. Nobody does.

I've always felt like if I don't get "drunk" then it's not a sin, so i don't consume in large quantities... and I've never had any negative consequences from drinking; no anger, aggression, bad choices etc. I've never hurt anyone or myself, and I've never done anything important like work or driving when drinking...
    I recently found out I have more medical issues , possibly cancerous masses in lung n other organs.. although it's not related to alcohol, I feel that God is wanting me to stop drinking all together but I've found it difficult to stop. I'm in the medical field and I know the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal such as tremors, but I've never had any.. However, I still can't seem to stop and I feel like there's a spiritual aspect.
    I'm feeling very convicted by God to stop, and I can't. Like I said, I don't feel that it's physical, but a spiritual influence.. I have a 15-year-old son, Evan, whom I need to stay alive and healthy for..

    and spend long evenings drinking wine
    to make themselves flaming drunk. - Isaiah 5:11
    Who has anguish? Who has sorrow?
    Who is always fighting? Who is always complaining?

      Please pray for me back in Christ I feel lost for going back into world and sinning. I regret this
      But the HOLY GHOST won't take me back
      I regret this. I need God and His spirit back.
