  • Pray that I may stay abstinent

    Dear friends of Landover. For the past few months my life has been a drunken blur, with barely a day of sobriety. My health and my work suffered and only by the intervention of Jesus did I find my way back onto my feet.

    My problems started when I discovered that my wife was having an extra-maritial affair with a homer soccer player in the next town over. After I beat her and kicked her out I became lowly and lonely. I then did what I swore I'd never do, I jumped in the car and visited Flannigan's for a pint of the Devil's buttermilk (Guinness). That first day I had one pint, the next night it was 2 pints and before long I lost control. Even during Her Majesty's Queen Elizabeth II historic visit to our fair isle I was in a drunken haze. I neglected my scripture study, I cursed God for allowing my wife to become such a harlot, but I now relaise this was my fault for not chastising her enough.

    It was only when I was at my lowest ebb and after falling over drunk onto the bedroom floor did I see my beacon of hope. My KJV lying covered in dust under my bedstead. I reached out and awoke the next morning with my hand still upon it. With my head bursting and a million demons urging me to join the queue outside Flannigan's, I began to read.

    The first passage I read was Galatians 5:21 it was then that I realised I strayed from God's light into the darkness which plagues so many in Ireland. My next awakening verse was from Luke 21:34. This was my strength and I continue to seek encouragement, guidance and forgiveness for my hedonism. Please brothers and sisters pray for me. My sins were great and I strayed from the light of the Lord and from Landover. Pray that my sobriety will remain - I am now 1 full week without drinking and although I cannot bring myself to forgive my wife, her actions are no excuse for my downfall. I gave in to the demons that torment so many in Ireland even though I swore I never would, but now I hope with your prayers I can regain my strength and stay on the path to righteousness.
    Matthew 10:34
    Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

    well, my daddy (RIP) had a drinking problem too also. except he preferred to imbibe house hold cleaners like, Mr. Clean, and Windex. His favorite was Pine Sol, I think. Probably cause it had that lemony flavor? Daddy once drank a whole bottle of Windex and tried unsuccessfully to climb a tree in the front yard of our trailer? well, he thumped his noggin on a branch while he plummeted back to God's green earth, and landed unconscious right on a fire ant hill. Daddy awoke all covered in red welts, and weeping pustules. And Old Dominion, was he ever grumpy! Dr. Tittleman had to subscribe him some medicine during his convalescence, to help with his pain? Daddy just crushed them pills up and stirred them into his Mr. Clean and tonics, I guess it added some flavor that way.

      Upon request I will cite scripture for all these facts in God's Holy Word.

      ✝ This is a Christian community and we worship GOD of the Holy bible, the only Living GOD. We worship Jesus Christ, Son of GOD and Savior. Anything else is absurd. ✝

          Thank you friends, I can already feel the glory working through me.

          Althuogh, I think we're the second drinkiest race, I read somewhere that Australian Abbos are the drinkiest. I wonder if it's true.

                Welcome back to the narrow path, Mr. Sinner!

                You're irish and you're not a True Christian, so it's inevitable that you will turn to drink, that's what irish do!

                Just keep reading your 1611 King James Bible and the way to the straight gate will be revealed. Praise Him!

                  Actually, it is the Native Americans, I think, but all indigenous peoples are violent drunkards to some degree, just like all darkies play basketball and freebase cocaine. Some things the Lord made consistent.

                    Thank you friend. I am another week sober thanks to all your prayers. My King James Bible now goes everywhere with me and should I feel the need to stray I always remeber some of my favourite verses, Psalm 73:26 and
                    1 Corinthians 10:12-13 , these give me the strength and determination to remain abstinent. His glory truly bears over my temptation, Praise God!

                      Speaking as a cured alcoholic can I just say 'Just say NO to the demon drink!'.

                      It's actually quite easy to do with prayer and a God-fearing lifestyle. It cured me.
                      I only break open the Laphraoig for Scripture Enhancement purposes most Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday afternoons.

                      Trust in the Lord - it's a heinous sin not to.

                            I'm sure you will, in time, turn your back on your papist dogma that led you to be a filthy sinner in the first place and if you continue to drink of the Lord's wisdom you will be on the path to true happiness.

                            Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

                            Isaiah 5:22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink

                            Isaiah 28:7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
                            Ultimately this is made clear in Proverbs 31:6,7


                            6Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. 7Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
                            Also Psalm 104:15
                            And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
                            This shows God clearly has a message for us about drinking and that you should stay abstinent except if drinking wine and not erring.

                            Praise the Lord for setting us such a clear path to salvation.
