DEAR ONES,

IF any of you have suffered at all at the hands of Alcoholism in any form via any connection, then you may well know something of the traumas involved between and behind the hubby's words below.

I believe that only The Grace of God AND great persistent dogged efforts on the part of all concerned can bring victory in such matters.

PLEASE pray with me in behalf of this whole family . . .

--that the wife will decide deeply and comprehensively to be done with such an addiction, affliction, oppression . . .

--that her family members will be led of Holy Spirit in how to relate to her in redemptive ways vis a vis thick love yet insisting on her share of responsibility being born by her . . .

--that God become first and foremost in each individual's life in this family and for the family as a whole . . .

--that forgiveness flow easily and freely but not in a cheap grace sort of way . . .

--that Love in it's best forms rise to the top in each individual and in each relationship in this family . . .

--that each individual have the Grace of God; the resilience; the endurance, the doggedness, the patience; the firmness; the overcoming-ness; the courage; the pluck; . . . whatever it takes . . . to win out entirely for each individual in this family . . .

--that God would bring around each member of this family all the local support; prayer support; understanding; encouragements needed;

--that the professionals at the rehab center be anointed in their work . . .

--that the fragments of this family will be recombined in a stronger than ever whole . . .

--whatever else Holy Spirit would lead to pray

HERE'S HUBBY'S WORDS:

==================================

. . . to post a prayer request for my Wife. She has just gotten through the DT’s due to alcohol. It was a very, very bad episode this time with text book hallucinations, erratic behavior.

I had to have her removed from my house and secured in a psych ward last Wednesday evening (very late evening). She is a very good, loving woman who is battling alcoholism.

Tonight, she agreed to re-try rehab after I told her I could not support her decisions any further. She is still fighting and I still have faith in her (had to do the tough love thing, I’m a wreck inside as of the moment).

Would you mind posting a thread for her for prayer requests?

If you could do so, I offer my thanks. I love my wife and have made some very bad decisions when it has come to her recovery. I hope that prayer can help both she and I heal and fight this disease.

I just read that your Dad was diagnosed with cancer. I will keep you and him in my prayers.

I know a lot of old timers who started out being coerced. If you are required to go to AA meetings 90 times over 90 days, you’ll have a good chance of recovery.

That comes dangerously close to violating the Constitutional ban on a state sponsored religion, don't you think? Even jail/prison inmates have the right to not attend religious services. Just what are steps 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 11, & 12 asking you to do?

Regards.

RE: Your dad’s skin; at Sally Beauty Supply they sell Triple-Lanolin skin lotion that might work for him. There will be an aloe vera skin lotion sold there too made by the same company.

Also, try to get him to eat salmon. You can buy reasonably-priced salmon at Wal-Mart Super Center. And then in the frozen juice section, get a bottle of Minute Maid lemon juice and cook it with that and with onion slices and some melted butter in the oven.

Prayers.

[Mrs. Don-o]

May the Lord protect, heal, lead, and bless this woman;
save her from the agonies of alcohol addiction;
sustain her husband and family;
bring them through this struggle safely;
increase their love for You and for each other;
lead them to find the counsel and professional help they need;
uphold them with the realization that they were made for joy.
Amen.

Mrs. Don-o! How are you?

My father had a battle with alcohol he didn’t win. Liver cancer ended it.

Link to a wonderful song, Wine Into Water, written from the heart by country singer T Graham Brown. The words describe his own alcohol addiction which he defeated and the film clips are from the old Dallas tv show. Thought this version would be appropriate for this woman in need of our prayers.

Recovering nicely, Deo gratias. Will start posting again, maybe next week.

I’ve you’ve been praying for me, please pray instead for JimRob, and for this poor alcoholic lady.

Guilt is part of this disease. That’s why he needs to attend Al-Anon.
