Prayer "Inexhaustible Chalice"
The prayer for alcoholism “The Inexhaustible Chalice” is considered one of the most effective ways in the fight against this vice. icon called "The Inexhaustible Chalice". It became known relatively recently, only in 1878. We learned about the miraculous properties of this icon thanks to a retired soldier of the Tula province. After serving, the soldier returned home and began to hopelessly drink. He sold all his property and all his money in order to buy himself a drink. After some time, he had nothing left, the soldier turned into a beggar. The consequences of constant drunkenness significantly affected his health - the man lost his legs. But this had no effect on his addiction.
One day he dreamed of an old man who persistently advised former soldier go to Serpukhov, to the local monastery and read before for alcoholism. The man heeded this advice and hit the road. The road and search were difficult the desired icon, because it was not known to the nuns under that name. Presenting himself before the icon, he read a prayer for alcoholism, and a miracle happened - the soldier was completely cured of his vice and recovered physically.
Martyr Boniface
Boniface lived during the existence of the Roman Empire. He was a slave of the rich Aglaida. Like his mistress, Bonifatius led a riotous life, spending his time in drunkenness and love affairs. Aglaida believed that she could save her soul if she built a temple and placed in it the relics of a martyr of the Christian faith. She sent her faithful slave for these relics. In those days, the Christian faith was still severely condemned, and they tried to destroy it in the bud. Bonifantius saw with his own eyes during a public execution how the Orthodox martyrs suffered and endured.
He was so imbued with sympathy and took their pain upon himself that he rushed straight towards them and was immediately captured by the executioner. The slave of Aglaida refused to renounce the Christian faith and with dignity endured all the tortures to which he was betrayed. After his death, the relics were delivered to Aglaida. She built a temple, placed the relics in it, distributed all her wealth to the poor, renounced her past habits and entered a monastery.
Since then, the martyr Vofantius has been considered the intercessor of people who suffer from drunkenness and debauchery. The prayer to the martyr Vofantius is considered one of the most powerful prayers for alcoholism. For those who truly believe or sincerely strive to be healed of harmful addictions, prayer always helps and gives healing.

Prayer to St. Moses Murin
Moses Murin was a robber and, like all of them, led a thoughtless and riotous lifestyle. History does not know what event radically changed his outlook on life, but the robber repented and decided to become a monk. The monks did not immediately accept him into their circle; for a long time they did not believe in the purity of his thoughts and intentions. Moses Murin proved that correction is possible. He resisted the temptation to return to his former life, and lived according to strict abstinence. He directed his life as a righteous man to save the souls of people who, like himself, had previously led an incorrect and destructive way of life. Moses succeeded in this; he managed to save more than one soul during his life. At the age of 75, he was killed by his former bandit brothers.

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:

Jesus Christ
Turning to Jesus Christ is correct in all cases - both in small everyday troubles and in serious troubles.

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. 26:9), 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:

How to pray to Matrona of Moscow for deliverance from alcoholism
Unfortunately, the sin of drunkenness can take over a person so strongly that he himself will be completely unable to cope with his condition. Often a person does not even realize that he is seriously ill.
Alcoholism is a disease of both soul and body, therefore the approach to healing must be comprehensive. Very often, all the burdens of getting out of a difficult old condition fall on the shoulders of the relatives and friends of the sick person.
This is a heavy cross for the whole family, and bearing it without God’s help can be very difficult, and sometimes even impossible.
Prayer to Matronushka against drunkenness has long been considered an effective aid in healing.
- close relatives of the patient;
- Friends;
- spiritual father, priest;
- monks upon request in the monastery;
- the suffering person himself.
It is good if a person himself realizes that he is sick and needs help. In this case, it is very good to go to the relics of Saint Matrona and pray there. It is also very advisable to regularly visit church, confess and receive communion, and attend services.
All external actions must be supported by a firm internal intention to improve and put an end to sinful addiction forever. This is a very difficult path on which a person can expect repeated falls and breakdowns. Temporary failures should not lead to despondency and lead a person away from the intended path of salvation.
A much more common situation is when the person himself does not want or cannot understand the need for treatment. In this case, all worries about such a person fall on the shoulders of loved ones.
More prayers for drunkenness:
