Jesus, last night I had a fight with my boyfriend!

I don't even know how it happened! I yelled! He yelled! And...before I knew it, HE WAS GONE! What is so pathetic, is that I can't even remember what I said or did, because...I WAS DRINKING!

All I can remember is that he was so angry because he says that I drink too much! He thinks that I care more for alcohol than I do for him!

Jesus, I just don't know! Is he right? Lately it seems that I'm drinking all of the time! I'VE EVEN STARTED DRINKING BY MYSELF! WHENEVER I'M WORRIED OR UPSET, DEPRESSED OR SAD - I DRINK! I MUST ADMIT, EVEN I AM GETTING UPSET! HELP ME JESUS, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! I SEEM TO BE LOSING ALL OF MY FRIENDS, AND...NOW, EVEN MY BOYFRIEND! I NEED HELP!

Dearest Lord, today we ask that You hold everyone who has a drinking problem in the Palm of Your loving hands. Help them to reach out for help to someone who TRULY CARES FOR THEM! May they come to realize that help is just a friend, a phone call, a counselor or a prayer away! Lord, please help all people with addictions! Help them to take the first step in getting better! Please help them before it is too late, and they lose all that they value!
