Alcoholism has been one of the pressing problems in Russia for a long time. The measures taken at the state level do not save specific families from drunkenness, in which this problem affects the husband, son, father, brother. The female half of the family - wife, mother, daughter - has to find their own methods. Many people are helped by prayer against drunkenness. But you need to believe in the power of the sacred text and behave correctly towards a person suffering from an illness.
Alcohol addiction problem
Alcohol is one of those phenomena that, when exceeded, becomes an evil, an illness that enslaves a person. Like any passion, it becomes very difficult to get rid of it even if the drinker himself has the desire, because this addiction is very strong. It entails serious consequences:
- the physical health of the drinker is destroyed;
- negative changes begin in the alcoholic’s psyche;
- his labor productivity decreases, as a result of which serious troubles at work, including dismissal;
- friendships are broken;
- Family relationships deteriorate, conflicts with the wife, which can lead to divorce.
These are the consequences that are characteristic of male alcoholism. But drunkenness is even more terrible for a woman who completely loses herself. The path to getting rid of female alcoholism is more difficult and long.
Often the person himself is aware of his addiction, but understands that he cannot cope without outside help. If he has a reliable rear in the form of loving and devoted relatives, then he can cope with his addiction to alcohol. To save a loved one from an addiction, his family uses different methods:
- pressure on him, threats;
- placement of an alcoholic in a drug treatment clinic;
- coding;
- conspiracies;
- reading prayers.
Orthodox prayer is the most powerful means of fighting the green serpent. It can help any alcoholic under certain conditions.
Types of prayers
The Orthodox faith has accumulated a large arsenal of prayer requests, but many do not know which saint to pray to deliver themselves and their loved ones from addiction. It is important to consider that there is no universal prayer for drunkenness; none guarantees instant relief from the disease forever. A patient attitude towards this process is necessary, you need to observe the patient’s condition, analyze what has the strongest effect on him. It should be borne in mind that first of all you need to take care of the healing of the soul: if this happens, then the person himself will give up alcohol.
A strong prayer for alcoholism is considered to be one that is addressed to:
- Jesus Christ - in addition to the special text, you can turn to Christ by reading certain passages from the Bible, the psalms are very helpful;
- One should pray to the Mother of God in any trouble, help will come immediately, the forms of prayer are different - from short texts to long akathists dedicated to a specific icon of the Mother of God;
- Nicholas the Wonderworker, who helps in the most difficult and hopeless cases, many have experienced his miraculous help;
- Blessed Matrona of Moscow, who, despite her blindness and immobility, helped many suffering;
- the holy martyr Boniface, who was healed of drunkenness and became a Christian;
- St. Moses Murin, who became famous for his virtuous life;
- Righteous John of Kronstadt - a famous Russian priest.
Jesus Christ
Turning to Jesus Christ is correct in all cases - both in small everyday troubles and in serious troubles. If a person continues to drink, but understands that he needs to get rid of this passion, then he needs to read a prayer to the Lord for the granting of sobriety. The prayer must be read at least once a day and all the time when you feel like drinking. This will help defeat negativity and internal experiences that arise from reactions to events happening nearby.
The prayer contains an appeal to Jesus Christ, recognition of one’s problem and the impossibility of coping with it alone. The text contains references to the Gospel, the letters of the apostles, the Psalter, which speaks of the facts of Christ's help to people.
Sweetest Jesus! Drunkenness got the better of me! My soul was exhausted, it was all exhausted from my unfortunate weakness! I can’t get along with myself - that’s my inconsolable sorrow and misfortune. Fear and fear attack me - I wouldn’t die from drunkenness without repentance! I am afraid that the enemy - the devil - will completely destroy me and bring me to hell. I know that I cannot cope with myself on my own. “I am poor and needy, but the Lord cares for me. You are my help and my deliverer, my God! Do not delay” (Ps. 39:18). Lord Jesus Christ! You Yourself said: “Without Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5), but “ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7).
You, Lord Jesus Christ, healed the paralytic, cleansed the lepers, had mercy on the harlot, and said to the thief: “Today you will be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43). Touch, O Merciful One, my weakened and prodigal heart with Your omnipotent grace, pour into it strength and courage of spirit to fight the passion of drunkenness, drive away the tempter devil and send me Your Guardian Angel, and “in the midst of destinies” save me, a sinner and sad, Lord! You Yourself said: “I do not want the death of the sinner, but that the sinner should turn from his way and live” (Ezek. 33:11) and therefore “came into the world to save sinners” (1 Tim. 1:15). You Yourself, with Your Divine lips, said: “Him that comes to Me I will never cast out” (John 6:37). And so I came to You, my hope and refuge! I cry at Your Most Pure feet, Who was crucified for me. “Do not hide Your face from me, do not reject me and do not forsake me, O God, my Savior!” (Ps. 27:9), grant me strength and strength of will, so that I may drive out the passion that nests in me and may I live in sobriety, piety and firm faith in You, the One True God of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
To stop drinking, the person himself also needs to make efforts:
- during the period of struggle with alcoholism, do not keep alcoholic beverages at home;
- you should not respond to proposals from friends who suggest drinking;
- it is necessary to find leisure time that will take up the time intended for drinking alcohol;
- you need to learn to control your emotions, cultivate good emotions that will prevent your hand from reaching for the bottle;
- you need to learn to get along with people around you, restrain your negative emotions;
- In addition to reading prayers, you should, if possible, attend church and take part in the sacraments.
Mother of God
The Most Holy Theotokos is the mother of the Lord. She, like no one else, understands the suffering of a mother who is tormented by her son’s drunkenness. The causes of alcohol addiction are varied. Often they need to be resolved not only with the help of prayer, but also in consultation with a psychologist, understanding the relationship between mother and son.
There are many icons of the Mother of God, in front of which you can read short prayers or akathists. The most popular icon is the Inexhaustible Chalice, the history of which dates back to the 4th century. in Asia Minor. In Russia, this icon was revealed in the second half of the 19th century. to a peasant from the Tula province who drank a lot.
In a vision, he was told to go to the monastery in Serpukhov, where there was a miraculous icon that could heal him. After her acquisition, prayers for people suffering from alcoholism began to be served before her. Subsequently, copies of the Inexhaustible Chalice icon appeared in many Russian churches.
Many women offer prayers in front of this icon of the Mother of God. In churches, the Akathist Inexhaustible Chalice is often read every week, to which many mothers come to pray for their sons. It is known that a mother’s prayer is the most powerful.
The prayer contains appeals not only from those who worry about their son, but also about their father, husband, and brother.
Oh, most merciful Lady! We now resort to Your intercession, do not despise our prayers, but graciously hear us - wives, children, mothers and those who are obsessed with the serious illness of drunkenness and for the sake of our mother - the Church of Christ and the salvation of those who fall away, heal our brothers and sisters and relatives. Oh, merciful Mother of God, touch their hearts and quickly raise them from the falls of sin, bring them to saving abstinence. Pray to Your Son, Christ our God, to forgive us our sins and not to turn His mercy away from His people, but to strengthen us in sobriety and chastity. Accept, O Most Holy Theotokos, the prayers of mothers who shed tears for their children; wives weeping for their husbands; children, the orphaned and the wretched, those left astray, and all of us who fall before Your icon. And may this cry of ours, through Your prayers, come to the throne of the Most High. Cover and protect us from the evil trap and all the snares of the enemy, in the terrible hour of our exodus, help us to pass through the airy ordeals without stumbling, with Your prayers deliver us from eternal condemnation, may God’s mercy cover us for endless ages of ages. Amen.
Prayer for my husband
When a husband drinks, this can be a major factor in divorce. But if the wife begins to pray, she will be able to help her husband. It is not so important to which saint the prayer is offered, what is important is the woman’s attitude - a strong prayer against a husband’s alcoholism works better when the wife’s love for her husband is strong.
There are a number of rules when reading a prayer:
- you need to have faith that the Lord will help heal your husband from drunkenness;
- you need to pray regularly at least once a day;
- you need to strive to become better yourself so that your husband is satisfied, without provoking him;
- there must be confidence, repeat to yourself “my husband is still the best, and there is no need for another father for the children.”
If a man has left home, then the wife, without his knowledge, can read a prayer at a distance from her husband’s alcoholism. The choice of saint remains with the woman - to whom she is accustomed to pray or in whom she believes more - Martyr Boniface, Nicholas the Wonderworker, Matrona of Moscow. This will benefit her and her husband. But it is important not to demand, but to ask to stop drinking.

Strong Orthodox prayer for husband's drunkenness
Most women in our vast homeland have to deal with their spouse’s alcohol addiction. A destructive addiction to alcohol is a huge problem that can unsettle anyone, especially if all means to eliminate it have already been tried, but there has been no result. A strong Orthodox prayer against a husband’s drunkenness often becomes the last saving straw for wives who want to pull their life partners out of the suffocating noose of the green serpent.
The role of Orthodox prayer in the fight against alcoholism
It is not for nothing that the symbol of alcoholism is the green serpent. According to the Bible, it was the serpent who once acted as the tempter and directed humanity onto the path of sin. And the fruits of this are being reaped to this day. An example of this is widespread drunkenness, which has captured and ruined many good and kind human souls in its tenacious clutches.
Alcoholism does not even think of stopping its hunt for souls and continues to doom people to suffering. Moreover, it is unknown to whom else drunkenness causes more grief - the alcoholics themselves, or their relatives and friends. I sincerely feel sorry for those courageous, patient and at the same time unhappy women who have to carry a heavy cross in the form of a drunkard spouse.
Passion for alcohol over time takes away everything human from a person and turns him into a weak-willed and cruel animal. The alcoholic does not notice anything except his addiction, which is gradually killing him. He does not want to admit his illness (and this is nothing more than a disease of the soul), he does not want to be treated. In such cases, sometimes faith in God becomes the only way out of the situation.
A person who sincerely believes in the Lord will always be able to overcome hopelessness and despondency (and they invariably follow any drunkard), will be able to find peace of mind and rise to a level that will allow him to win victory on the green serpent. A powerful and effective means on the path to this victory is Orthodox prayer against drunkenness.
Icon “The Inexhaustible Chalice” and a strong prayer against drunkenness
Drunkenness has a detrimental effect on all aspects of the human personality: it exhausts the body, damages the mind, and destroys the soul. The Orthodox Church interprets alcoholism as a demonic influence and believes that it requires special help. To provide this help, the icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice” is most often used, in front of which a prayer for drunkenness is said.
The image of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” differs from other icons of the Mother of God in that on it the Mother of God does not hold the Baby in her arms, but extends them over the sacred Chalice of the Lord’s Communion, in which the Baby Jesus is located. This cup has the amazing property of giving a person joy and consolation, and quenching his spiritual thirst.
The “Inexhaustible Chalice” is addressed to the face of the Mother of God with a request to heal relatives and friends from drunkenness. The prayer with which it is customary to appeal to this icon for deliverance from alcoholism sounds like this:
This prayer, which can help save a husband, son and other relatives from drunkenness, is one of the most powerful and effective. It must be said several times and, preferably, with the blessing of the priest.
It is necessary to offer prayer to the “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon sincerely, with an open heart. While reading it, it is also recommended to undertake a feat in the form of a strict fast of 40 days. Be sure to regularly visit the temple all this time and submit notes on the health of a person obsessed with alcohol addiction.
From the history of the appearance of the icon “Inexhaustible Chalice”
The prototype of the icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice” appeared to the Orthodox world in 1878.
In the Efremov district of the Tula province lived a drunkard peasant. Possessed by the green serpent, he drank away all the property in his house and came to a miserable existence. Because of alcohol, his legs were paralyzed, but he did not give up his habit. Exactly until he had a dream in which an old man appeared to him and suggested to him a remedy for healing from a destructive addiction: go to Serpukhov, to the Vvedensky Vladychny Monastery, find there the image of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” and serve a prayer service in front of it. However, the peasant did not dare to follow the elder’s advice - because of his sore legs and lack of outside help.
The dream was repeated 2 more times, the third time the old man in it already gave the drunkard a threatening order. Frightened by him, the peasant set off on the road on all fours, stopping along the way in one village for the night. The old woman, whose guest the traveler was, saw his suffering, took pity on him and rubbed his feet at night and put him to sleep on the stove. At night, the peasant felt relief, was able to get up, and then continued his journey on his feet, first leaning on 2 sticks, then on just one.
Having reached Serpukhov, he came to the indicated monastery and told about his dreams, but it turned out that no one had heard about the image of the Holy Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice”. Then someone suggested looking at the icon hanging in the passage from the church to the sacristy - what if this is it? Having examined the icon, everyone was extremely surprised to see the inscription “Inexhaustible Chalice” on its reverse side. And in the old man from his dream, the peasant recognized the man who built this monastery - Father Varlaam.
The face of the Mother of God was immediately taken to the temple and a prayer service was served in front of it. The peasant returned home completely healthy - on healthy legs, cured of his craving for alcohol.
The news about the newly appeared icon “The Inexhaustible Chalice” and the peasant’s miraculous recovery very soon spread beyond the monastery. Suffering people began to flock to the image of the Mother of God from everywhere. They offered their prayers to her, asking for deliverance from drunkenness, and were convinced of her mercy and miraculousness.

Now he doesn’t even drink on holidays.
My father has been drinking for several years, and stubbornly refuses to get treatment and code. There is no strength to see how his mother suffers next to him... Thank you very much for your prayers! I’ll definitely tell you and show my mom.

Alcoholism brings a lot of grief to a family. Addiction affects all segments of the population, regardless of gender and age category. An alcoholic may not realize that he is sick and may refuse any help.
If the patient has no desire to be treated, prayer for the alcoholism of the husband or other family members can help get rid of a bad habit. It can help no worse than medications and coding. In order for the prayer service to bring results, you need to know who to pray to and follow the ritual.
Petitions for female alcoholism must be made on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. It is necessary that the woman does not have a menstrual cycle these days. A prayer for a spouse’s alcohol addiction should be read in the remaining days. The prayer service is not performed on Sundays or major Orthodox holidays.
It is advisable to read prayers against alcoholism during the full moon or during the waning period of the month. Words spoken in front of images give more effective results. Strong prayer against drunkenness can help even from a distance.
Prayers against excessive drunkenness and alcoholism will not have any effect if you read them once. The ritual must be performed for several weeks or months. After reading the plot, be sure to bow and thank the Saints.
Holy Mother of God
A prayer against drunkenness to the Most Holy Theotokos is said in front of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon:
"Holy Mother of God! We call for your help! Do not refuse us sinners, hear our wives, daughters, sons, mothers. Do not abandon him in troubles, deliver the son of God (...) from the intoxication of intoxication. Just as the Saints did not know vodka, did not try it, so let the son of God (...) turn away from it. So that nothing else would go down his throat except clean water. Give him holy water to drink, cleanse him of destructive addictions.”
2 prayer for healing:
“Merciful Most Holy Mother, touch their hearts, guide them to healing abstinence, lead them. Ask Jesus Christ to forgive us our sins and strengthen us in chastity and sobriety. Hear, O Lady of Heaven, the requests of mothers, wives, children, those who are lost, those who drink nasty alcohol, those who are abandoned, those who fall at Your feet. Let the cry of our souls and our tears, through Your prayers, reach the Throne of the Most High.”
Nicholas the Wonderworker
Orthodox prayers against alcoholism can appeal to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. He saved Rus' more than once with his intercession. Strong prayers addressed to his image can get rid of alcohol and lead to a sober life.
Praying relatives must have faith that their loved one is truly being healed. Otherwise, the ritual will not produce results. You need to appeal to the Saint sincerely, with a great desire to help you recover from your illness.
In front of the image of the saint, you need to light a candle and place blessed water in front of you. Pronounce the text in silence, calm and solitude. You need to say the text 3 times, each time crossing yourself and taking a sip of consecrated water.
“Nicholas the Wonderworker!
I appeal to You with a request.
Have pity and come peace
From the “Green serpent accursed to the servant of God (...).
They found him disgusted with the “green snake”,
Free yourself from the terrible addiction to all alcohol.
So that I couldn't even look
To alcohol without disgust, disgust.
Let him not drink at any time of the day,
Neither alone nor in company,
Neither on a weekday nor on a holiday.
Your Holy Word will protect him from alcohol,
How the Saints did not know hops
So let the Son of God (...) not drink.”
Appeal to Matrona of Moscow
Matrona of Moscow is a miracle worker, a helper in various sorrows. Saint Matrona never saw the white light; her eyes were missing from the moment she was born. Matrona's mother had a wonderful dream before her birth. She saw a snow-white bird with tightly closed eyelids. Just like a bird, the Saint’s eye sockets were tightly hidden under her eyelids.
Matrona of Moscow did not become bitter, did not begin to hate people. On the contrary, her whole life was aimed at serving God and the people. Millions of people pray to her to get rid of sorrows. Prayers to her for sobriety are the most effective and powerful.
“Mother Matronushka, hear and accept us, sinners, calling to you. Listen to the suffering, the grieving, those who call with faith and hope for your protection, asking for compassion.
A speedy, miraculous cure has arrived. Your mercy will not disappear even now for the unworthy, toiling in the vanity of this world and nowhere finding consolation, compassion in the sorrows of our souls and help in diseases of the body: heal us, deliver us from temptations, the torments of the devil, help us carry the heavy Cross, endure all the hardships and not to lose the Holy Face in them, to preserve faith until the end of our centuries, to have unshakable trust and hope in God, to have love without hypocrisy for loved ones.
Help us after death to enter the Kingdom of God with all those who are acceptable, glorifying the cordiality and mercy of Our Father, glorified in the Trinity.”
Conspiracy against drunkenness on yourself
If you are addicted to alcohol, are aware of your illness and want to be healed of it, a prayer said over water will help you with this. You need to ask for sobriety sincerely, with all your feeling. Before performing the ritual, go to the bathhouse. If this is not possible, take a hot bath, preferably with herbal tea. It is important to read the prayer purified.
For the ritual you will need clean, non-drinking water from a well or spring. If it is not possible to get it, let it sit in the dark with ordinary boiled water for 7 days. You need as much liquid as you can drink per dose.
The text is pronounced three times over the water:
“In the name of the Holy Trinity. Alcohol and malt! Until the end of time, depart from me, the son/daughter of God! The attraction to alcohol leave me! The wind is dashing, take your destructive addiction with you! There’s a craving for the deep thicket, get away from me, where people don’t walk, birds don’t fly, animals don’t come. My word is strong. As he said, so it will be.”
After this, the water is drunk in one gulp. Without leaving a drop. The ritual must be performed daily until the disease subsides.
A powerful ritual for alcoholism
This conspiracy is not only possible, but also necessary to be read on any Orthodox holiday. For the ritual you need a table, a large mirror, 3 church candles, 3 glasses, a liter of non-drinking water (preferably from a natural source). You will also need alcohol that the alcoholic loves and a small container.
Place a mirror on the table, in front of it are three candles, glasses and a jar of water. Be sure to wear a dark scarf on your head and black clothes on your body. Stand in front of the mirror, pick up a container of alcohol, and read the “Our Father.”
After this, you must say the following text three times:
I will arise, daughter of God (...), I bless myself with the Holy Trinity,
I’ll cross myself and leave the house through the door,
I’ll run out of the gate through the gate, my dear.
I'm going east
I'll look into the river.
There is a huge stone in that pond.
Next to him is a fish whose eyes are burned with flame.
Her cheeks are made of gold, her teeth are made of silver.
She will come to the son of God (...)
In silver teeth, a harmful addiction will be carried away.
Her craving for alcohol will not return from her cheeks,
Never again will the son of God (...) drink alcohol!
After pronouncing the text, open the bottle of alcohol and pour it into the first glass. Close the vessel and read the “Our Father” again, the spell three times. Open the bottle and pour the alcohol into a second glass. Repeat the same for the third time.
Pour the contents of the glasses and non-drinking water from the jar into a container prepared in advance. This mixture must be added little by little to the food or drink of the dependent person. It is very important that he does not know anything about this.
You will immediately understand that the drug has begun to act. An alcoholic will experience symptoms similar to a cold. Don't be alarmed, there's nothing wrong with this. This only indicates that the conspiracy has begun to operate. Poor health will quickly pass and the person’s craving for alcoholic beverages will disappear. The ritual must be repeated until it begins to take effect.
Summarizing
If one of your family members suffers from alcohol addiction, you can't just sit idly by. If you have tried many remedies, but nothing helps, seek help from God. You need to turn to the Saints with a sincere desire to help and faith in their intercession.
When an alcoholic appears in a family, the life of the rest of the household becomes unbearable. If you or a loved one suffers from a harmful craving for alcoholic beverages, the strongest prayers will help you get rid of it.
Alcoholism is one of the main problems of modern society. Unfortunately, it is impossible to protect yourself and your loved ones from the harmful craving for alcohol, so such a disaster can happen in any family. There are many ways to help fight a bad habit. Special prayers are considered one of the most powerful and safest methods. Experts on the site have compiled a list of the most powerful prayers with which you can recover from addiction.
Prayer against drunkenness to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker
Nicholas the Wonderworker is known for his gift of healing people from various ailments. With the help of a prayer addressed to the saint, you can overcome your craving for alcohol or help your loved one with this. It is best to say a prayer over water, which the patient should drink.
“Nicholas the Wonderworker, I turn to you in prayer. Send us your mercy and save (name of the patient) from drunkenness. Let the sinful addiction leave him forever—by his will or against his will. Let consecrated water replace the demonic drink, and with every sip a clear mind returns to him. Amen".
You need to say the prayer for several weeks. Soon a person will begin to experience an aversion to alcohol and will be cured of his addiction forever.
Prayer for alcoholism in front of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon
The miraculous image of the Most Holy Theotokos “The Inexhaustible Chalice” is famous for its ability to save people from drunkenness and other addictions. You can turn to the Mother of God for help in church or at home, but for this you need to purchase this icon.
“Oh merciful Mother of God! I ask you for your intercession and pray: hear my request, save (the name of the patient) from drunkenness for the sake of him and his loved ones. Do not leave him in trouble, ask the Lord God to forgive his sin. Send him your mercy so that it can help him get rid of this terrible disease. Let the will of the Lord be done. Amen".
If you turn to the Mother of God for help at home, then do it with lit candles, looking at the image of the “Inexhaustible Chalice”. Each time after saying a prayer, you should place the icon under the patient’s pillow in order to quickly achieve the desired result.
Prayer against drunkenness to Saint Boniface
Saint Boniface led a sinful life for a long time, and only prayers to the Lord helped him take the right path. Now people are turning to the martyr with requests to get rid of addictions, including alcoholism.
“Saint Boniface, I pray to you for salvation. Beg the Lord God to deliver (the name of the patient) from drunkenness and other vicious addictions. Help him cope with the demons pushing him onto a sinful path with the help of your prayers. As soon as (name of the patient) thirsts for wine, pacify his desire so that he leaves the addiction that leads to sin. Amen".
You need to turn to Saint Boniface every day. If you are praying not for yourself, but for another person, you should do this only after he goes to bed.
Despite the fact that it is very difficult to get rid of alcohol addiction, turning to a Higher Power will help you leave the torment behind. However, prayers will work much faster in combination with effective folk methods. We wish you health and prosperity,and don't forget to press the buttons and

The icon that will be discussed can easily be called miraculous, for it helped many...
“Do not despise wine, but despise drunkenness.”
St. John of Kronstadt
“The devil loves no one more than drunkards, because no one fulfills his evil will like a drunkard.”
St. John Chrysostom
Alcoholism is one of the types of manifestation of the passion of gluttony, and in the Holy Scriptures, alcoholism is on a par with sodomy and bestiality.
Alcoholism is a terrible disease and not only a physical disease, but also, above all, a spiritual disease. And if modern medicine successfully treats the body from binge drinking, then Orthodoxy with no less success treats not only the body, but also the soul
Prayer against drunkenness to our Lord Jesus Christ
First of all, I suggest turning to the main healer of the human race - Jesus Christ.
Prayer 1
Sweetest Jesus!
Drunkenness got the better of me! My soul was exhausted, it was all exhausted from my unfortunate weakness! I can’t cope with myself - that’s my inconsolable sorrow and misfortune
Fear and fear attack me - I wouldn’t die from drunkenness without repentance! I am afraid that the enemy - the devil - will completely destroy me and bring me to hell. I know that I cannot cope with myself on my own. “I am poor and needy, but the Lord cares for me. You are my help and my deliverer, my God! Do not delay” (Ps. 39:18). Lord Jesus Christ!
You Yourself said: “Without Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5), but “ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7).
Prayer 2
You, Lord Jesus Christ, healed the paralytic, cleansed the lepers, had mercy on the harlot, and said to the thief: “Today you will be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43).
Touch, O Merciful One, my weakened and prodigal heart with Your omnipotent grace, pour into it strength and courage of spirit to fight the passion of drunkenness, drive away the tempter devil and send me Your Guardian Angel, and “with their own destinies” save me, a sinner. and sad, Lord! You Yourself said: “I do not want the death of the sinner, but that the sinner should turn from his way and live” (Ezek. 33:11) and therefore “came into the world to save sinners” (1 Tim. 1:15).
You Yourself, with Your Divine lips, said: “Him that comes to Me I will never cast out” (John 6:37). And so I came to You, my hope and refuge! I cry at Your Most Pure feet, Who was crucified for me.
“Do not hide Your face from me, do not reject me and do not forsake me, O God, my Savior!” (Ps. 27:9), grant me strength and strength of will, so that I may drive out the passion that nests in me and may I live in sobriety, piety and firm faith in You, the One True God of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Prayer against drunkenness before the icon of the Mother of God “Inexhaustible Chalice”
In the fight against the harmful habit of drunkenness, the miraculous icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice” acquired enormous fame. The icon was miraculously revealed in 1872 and since that time many people have been healed of this terrible habit in front of the holy image of the Mother of God.
Prayer

Prayer by Rev. Moses Murin from drunkenness
It is customary to pray to Moses Murin for healing from binge drinking
O reverend one, you have achieved wonderful virtues from grave sins, help the servants of God (names) who pray to you, who are drawn to destruction because they indulge in the immeasurable consumption of wine, harmful to the soul and body.
Bow your merciful gaze upon them, do not reject them or despise them, but listen to them as they come running to you. Pray, holy Moses, the Lord Christ, that He, the Merciful, will not reject them, and may the devil not rejoice at their destruction, but may the Lord have mercy on these powerless and unfortunate ones, who have been possessed by the destructive passion of drunkenness, for we are all God’s creations and redeemed by the Most Pure Blood of His Son .
Hear, Reverend Moses, their prayer, drive away the devil from them, grant them the power to overcome passion, help them, stretch out your hand, lead them to the path of good, free them from the slavery of passions and deliver them from drinking wine, so that they, renewed, with sobriety and a bright mind, they loved abstinence and piety, and eternally glorified the All-Good God, who always saves His creatures. Amen.
