Good morning Peres!
I haven’t been on here in awhile but I’m personally in a desperate situation and I know there are a number of believers here so.
I’ve asked a few other places online as well as everyone I know that is a believer in person and I want to ask here as well.
Straight up my finacé is addicted to meth. I’ve known for a while now but she just admitted it to me a few weeks back. I’ve been angry and bitter and sad and every other emotion imaginable. She is a believer and I have seen her weep and pray and beg God to help her.
I was thinking of cutting her out of my life completely but after serious prayer time I do not think the Lord wants me to do that.
This addiction is destroying her life, causing immeasurable pain for her daughter and selfishly crushing my heart as well.
I’d ask for prayer for her, prayer for the people she gets her drugs from, prayer for her daughter who she hasn’t seen in weeks on end now and prayer for myself that my anger doesn’t overtake me and I remain faithful to trust God in this very difficult time instead of taking matters into my own hands.
Thank you for reading. Believer or not. Thank you.
Stay strong Pede’s! May the Lord guide and keep each of us.
As a recovering alcoholic and addict (clean and sober 32 years now), I know the struggle that goes on with an addict. I also know the struggles that family and loved ones go through while watching an addict hitting bottom. Once I had a mother tell me about her addicted daughter, saying "I have run out of tears."
I can tell you this, for your own sanity and survival, you should put any talk of marriage away or on the back burner until this person gets her life back in order. In AA we say, "I can carry the message... I cannot carry the mess."
Only God can lift an alcoholic or addict from their disease, but it also takes monumental devotion and work on the part of the alcoholic / addict... there is nothing passive about it. Sobriety doesn't just come into a life unless there is a willingness to change, to do the work, to embrace recovery as if one's life depends on it. Because it does.
