Alcoholism is without a doubt a disease. Getting rid of drunkenness is sometimes quite difficult. A wide variety of means are used, ranging from coding in medical institutions and uploading to a healer grandmother. You can use any methods as long as they are effective and help a person to heal.
If a believer, then turn to God for help. Pray before the icon for the person who is not indifferent to you and who needs help to get rid of drunkenness. But at the same time, you need to know which icon can help you.
For a long time, prayers for deliverance from drunkenness were read in front of the icon of the Mother of God "The Inexhaustible Chalice." It depicts the Mother of God herself and the baby Jesus Christ standing in a bowl. That cup is a symbol of mercy and the breadth of the soul, with which the Blessed Virgin Mary is ready to help sinners.
There is a legend according to which one peasant recovered from drunkenness thanks to the face of the "Inexhaustible Chalice". His relatives worried about him and asked him to go to a neighboring village, to a church where the miraculous face was located. The man held out so much that his legs had already given up. I had to crawl on my knees … And when he crawled to the church, he found himself in front of the face of the Mother of God, his passion for alcohol immediately disappeared. And my legs soon began to walk.
True or not, but miracles performed after the ascended prayer at the icon "Inexhaustible Chalice" really are. It is necessary to find a prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos from drunkenness and do it every day.
Alas, the drunkard himself cannot be forced to come to the Lord and ask him for help. It is better for the relatives to pray earnestly themselves, to ask and to believe. Light candles, visit the temple. Looking at them, the drinking person will change his mind.
Only through kindness and patience can we help our loved ones get rid of their addictions. After all, if you leave a person to fend for themselves, leave him to boil in his own juice, then he will finally die, unable to resist the green snake on his own.
Only together we - Orthodox people - will be able to fight the evil that the enemy of the human race sends to us. And drunkenness is one of its most effective tools.
