People often say: “If there were no wine, we would not be drunkards.” Aren't they crazy?! They themselves sin, but it’s God’s gift?! Is wine the cause of all evil?! Of course not! The cause of these evils is intemperance, the abuse of wine. It’s better to say: “If there were no drunkenness, then...” You can also say: “It would be better if there was no iron, because there are murderers; if there were no night, there would be no thieves, etc.” You just want to destroy and exterminate everything. And all because it is not wine that needs to be despised, but the dependence on it. This is a satanic spirit.

Icon against drunkenness “The Inexhaustible Chalice”

Among all the anafixes of the Mother of God, the image of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” is the most relevant. This image depicts the Mother of God with her hands raised up. In front of the Mother of God there is a large bowl in which the Infant God is depicted in the same pose. Prayer to the Mother of God can deliver a believer from various cups:

• tempting cup;
• the cup that destroys the family;
• cups that destroy fate;
• destroying the human personality.

Prayer against drunkenness to the “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon helps against various vicious addictions: alcoholism, smoking or drug addiction. According to many reviews of believers, it is known that strong prayer against drunkenness can cure not only vicious diseases, but also change the spiritual world and personality of a person on a virtuous and Christian path. For example, a husband who has sunk from drunkenness will rise up after a sincere prayer service and begin to live a full life.

The “Inexhaustible Chalice” prayer against drunkenness helps:

1. When the patient refuses treatment and does not admit alcohol dependence. In such a situation, you can even perform the ritual without the knowledge of the alcoholic;
2. Suitable for true believers, for people who pray every day. This is how you can cure your son, husband, brother, mother, even yourself and other relatives from drunkenness;
3. When it is not permissible to publicize a patient’s registration with a narcologist. This is possible with some professions. A visit to a narcologist in some cases can contribute to problems with work activity;
4. For financial problems or limited opportunities. And prayer for a husband’s alcoholism does not require financial expenses when treatment in specialized clinics is quite expensive;
5. Prayer can also be used as an additional treatment. After all, it can support a person’s state of mind, and also give a person confidence that he made the right decision by quitting drinking alcohol.

Who can ask Our Lady for help?

In modern realities, most often a wife asks for healing for her husband. But there are cases when children ask their mother for help from drunkenness, a sister for her brother, a mother for her son, etc. It is important to understand that it does not matter at all who asks the Mother of God for help. The main thing is that you believe in it and ask for it from the bottom of your heart.

It is also important to understand that it is very difficult to get rid of such addiction. You will need a lot of patience as the process is lengthy.

The prayer in front of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon against drunkenness reads like this:

“Oh, most merciful Lady! We now resort to Your intercession, do not despise our prayers, but graciously hear us: wives, children, mothers; and the serious illness of drunkenness of those possessed, and for this sake from your mother - the Church of Christ and the salvation of those who fall away, brothers and sisters, and heal our 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, of wives who weep for their husbands, of children, orphans and wretches, abandoned by those who have gone astray, and of 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, so that the mercy of God will cover us for the endless ages of ages. Amen".

God bless you!

Prayers for alcoholism, or how to overcome drunkenness with the help of faith

When a terrible disease called “alcoholism” comes to a family, the drinker’s relatives are ready to take any measures to cope with it. Convictions and requests, coding, drug therapy sometimes do not bring the desired result, and sometimes change a person for the worse. In such cases, prayer for drunkenness becomes the last hope; even inveterate skeptics can turn to higher powers.

How it works

Official science denies the possibility of healing from alcoholism through prayers and other alternative methods. They explain their position by the fact that dependence on alcohol is a serious illness that provokes changes in the human psyche and physiology. However, even narcologists admit that the desire to get rid of the disease must come from within. The goal of traditional therapy is to induce aversion to any type of alcohol using medication or psychological influence.

In Orthodoxy and other religions, drunkenness is a disease of the soul generated by demonic influence. Turning to God through prayer can cleanse a person, encourage him to give up a bad habit and return to a normal lifestyle.

The effectiveness of the method has no scientific explanation, but there are many cases where this particular method helped. Prayers for drunkenness and alcoholism only work with sincere, strong faith in God. Requests that do not come from the heart are unlikely to bring positive results. In this complex matter, an integrated approach is important; you need to support the patient, protect him from temptations and reasons to return to the old ways.

The most effective prayers

The Orthodox faith is capable of giving relief from addiction to alcohol to anyone who is sincere and truly wants to overcome it. It is not necessary to read a special prayer; even the simplest “Our Father” has amazing power if the words come from the heart.

There are several saints in Christianity, appealing to whom can save you from drunkenness.

To heal men

Representatives of the stronger half of humanity most often suffer from addiction to alcohol. If the addict is unable to cope on his own, turning to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker will help. The wife must perform this ritual:

• on Thursday, buy a candle in the temple;
• place the faces of Christ, Nicholas the Wonderworker, Matrona and the Virgin Mary near it;
• Prepare a container with clean water.

After this say the text:

“Wonderworker Nicholas, I turn to you with a prayer. Generously have mercy and deliver my husband from demonic drunkenness. Against his will, they found disgust and devastated his craving for drunken libation. He will not sip, swallow or pour out harmful drink without a shudder. And he will sip and pour the property into the belly of holy water. Thy will be done. Amen".

The prayer is said three times in an empty room, focusing on the vessel. After such a conspiracy, water acquires miraculous powers. The liquid must be added to the husband for 40 days; it cannot be skipped.

To save a son from drunkenness, the same ritual is performed in front of the icon of Boniface, addressing the martyr:

“O all-holy Boniface, merciful servant of the Merciful Master! Hear those who come running to you, obsessed with the addiction to drinking wine, and just as in your earthly life you never refused to help those who asked you, so now deliver these unfortunates (names). Amen".

Boniface during his life adhered to paganism and was a drunkard, but after touching the holy relics he gained faith, for which he later died in agony. Turning to him is considered one of the most powerful prayers that helps save loved ones.

No less effective is a prayer to John of Kronstadt, canonized for helping ordinary workers overcome alcoholism. You need to pray to his face in church, always in front of candles, reciting the text of chapter 15 of the gospel:

“Holy John, look mercifully on Thy servant (name of the alcoholic), seduced by the flattery of the belly and carnal pleasure. Help him to know the sweetness of abstinence in fasting and to reap the fruits of the Spirit. Amen".

These simple words can work a miracle and save you from years of drunkenness.

If the husband is far away

An appeal to Matrona of Moscow can cure a man at a distance:

“Oh, Blessed Elder Matrona of Moscow, I turn to you with a prayer. Not for wealth and prosperity, but about her drinking husband. Free him with your mercy from alcohol addiction and do not let his immortal soul perish. As soon as he touches the bottle, hit him on the back of the head. As soon as he takes a sip, he will feel a little sick. As soon as he gets drunk again, let him immediately become hysterical. Tears will flow from his eyes, he will drink for the last time. Thy will be done. Amen".

The words are spoken in front of the icon every day until the beloved man returns. Judging by the reviews, prayer works even if the patient is against therapy.

To heal women

Alcoholism of the weaker half of humanity is a terrible sight and difficult to treat. Once dependent on alcohol, a woman quickly degrades and often cannot stop on her own. To help a mother or daughter recover, you can turn to the Mother of God.

The prayer “Inexhaustible Chalice” is said in front of the icon bearing the same name. It depicts the Virgin Mary and the baby resting in a vessel, after drinking from which any person receives consolation and satisfies spiritual needs.

And here is the prayer itself:

“Oh, Most Merciful Lady! We now resort to Your intercession, do not despise our prayers, but mercifully hear us: wives, children, mothers and those obsessed with the serious illness of drunkenness, and for this, for the sake of our mother - the Church of Christ and the salvation of those who fall away, brothers and sisters, and heal our 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 for their children shedding tears, wives for their weeping husbands, children, the orphaned and the poor, abandoned as lost, 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 the endless ages of ages. Amen".

For the words to have an effect, the person asking must repent and order a prayer service with an akathist to the Mother of God, and also recite the sacred text at least 12 times a day in a calm atmosphere.

To heal yourself

Some people realize the dangers of alcohol and independently turn to God asking for deliverance.

To cure addiction, the patient must read a prayer to Moses Murin. This saint voluntarily put an end to drinking and a riotous lifestyle and saved others from this. A prayer service is ordered in a church or asked for at a holy house, making sure to place candles and other icons nearby.

“Oh, the great power of repentance! Oh, the immeasurable depth of God's mercy! You, Reverend Moses, were formerly a robber, but, horrified by your sins, you grieved for them and in repentance came to the monastery and there, in great lamentation over your former iniquities and in difficult feats of fasting and prayer, you spent your days until your death and was awarded Christ’s grace of forgiveness. and the gift of miracles. Oh, reverence, you have achieved wonderful virtues from grave sins! Help the servants of God who pray to you, who are drawn to destruction from the immeasurable wine of consumption, which damages the immortal soul and body - the temple of the Holy Spirit. Bow your merciful gaze upon them and do not despise them, but listen to them as they come running to you. Pray, Holy Moses, Lord Christ. May He, the Merciful, not reject them, powerless and unfortunate, perishing from the passion of excessive wine drinking, and may the devil not rejoice at their destruction, for all of us, as creatures of God, have been redeemed by the Most Pure Blood of His Son. Hear, Reverend Moses, their prayer and ours. Drive away the devil from them, grant them the strength to overcome their passion, lead them to the path of good, free them from the slavery of passions, deliver them from the harm of excessive wine drinking, so that, renewed, in spiritual sobriety and a bright mind, they love all abstinence and piety and eternally glorify the Savior The All-Good God is always His creation, and to Him belongs glory, honor and worship forever and ever. Amen".

An additional rule for every day is to pray to the “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon several times before going to bed.

Rules for turning to God

Church ministers advise asking to be delivered from drunkenness in church by first confessing and receiving communion.

A person praying must not only recite sacred texts, but also live according to the canons of Orthodoxy:

During prayer, you cannot think about your problems; you need to focus on the desire to help your loved one.

It is not necessary to ask for healing in church; an akathist (a song glorifying a saint, at the end of which there is a request) can be read at home and even at a party. The main thing is to retire and take a break from ordinary affairs. The prayers are written in a special language, difficult to pronounce for ordinary people; the church allows them to be spoken simply in Russian. The sacred words can be spoken (aloud or silently) by the dependent person or a loved one by agreement with the patient or on his own initiative.

The appeal to God must begin with the “Our Father”, and then move on to the akathist. The prayer is said standing in front of the icons with a lit candle.

Interestingly, the effectiveness of prayers is higher if they come from an alcoholic. But miracles are possible even in hopeless cases, when relatives, without the knowledge of the patient, ask to guide him on the right path.

However, you should not expect that just turning to God is enough to save a man or woman from addiction.

Treatment of alcoholism with prayers does not bring instant results and must be combined with other methods. It is important to provide moral support, strengthen his health and distract him from the desire to drink. Therapy is not stopped, even if the patient has breakdowns.

How to pray for a drinking husband, son, or loved one

Very often people ask: “How to pray for a drinker? What prayers can help him? What icons should one turn to so that a person susceptible to the passion of alcoholism receives a speedy healing?”

We understand: it is very important to help a drinking person spiritually. An alcohol dependent person is often a person possessed, a person who has been possessed by a fallen spirit, a demon, through the passion of alcoholism. Only God can help an alcohol-dependent person break out of a state of obsession.

But God helps when He is asked for help. If they do not ask God for help, if they refuse His help, then this help does not come.

God does not force himself on anyone. He gave every person free will and expects from a person a free expression of will, a free desire to come to Him.

What to do if an alcoholic person is in such a difficult spiritual state that he cannot turn to God for help, when he cannot and does not want to come to the temple of God? In this case, he needs the spiritual help of family and friends.

First of all, they need to start praying for the person suffering from alcoholism. This could be home prayer, it could be church prayer. You should also give alms and do good deeds to save the drinking person.

The personal life of a person who wants to pray for someone suffering from alcoholism is very important. It is very important that such a person lives according to the commandments of God and is a churchgoer. So that he observes fasts, has no mortal sins, regularly confesses and receives communion. Then his prayer will have real power.

In home prayer for an alcohol-dependent person, you can read an akathist in honor of the icon of the Mother of God, called the “Inexhaustible Chalice,” read two chapters from the Gospel every day, and one kathisma from the Psalter. You can read various kinds of prayers for the healing of the sick.

It is impossible to cure alcoholism.

• Have you tried many methods, but nothing helps?
• Another coding turned out to be ineffective?
• Is alcoholism destroying your family?

If the husband often drinks in the family, and this behavior has already become a habit, then this is a serious problem. Alcoholism is a terrible sin, and many men do not even notice it and believe that one or two bottles of a recreational drink are completely acceptable for consumption.

Alcohol is a demon that sits deep in those who like to drink, even sometimes. It is in such cases that a prayer against a husband’s drunkenness can help, so that the need for drinking is as small as possible, and then completely disappears.

Prayer to Saint Matrona against her husband's drunkenness

There are several icons of the Holy Face of Matrona, very revered. Those believers who turned to the image always received deliverance of their significant other from alcohol addiction. Prayer takes away a man’s desire to drink forever, a person stops suffering without a drink, the sacred text literally brings back to life those who once drank and did not stop. This is not just getting rid of alcoholism, it is saving a person from the most terrible disease in the world.

“O blessed mother Matrono, hear and accept us now, sinners, praying to you, who in all your life has learned to receive and listen to all those who suffer and mourn, with faith and hope who resort to your intercession and help, giving quick help and miraculous healing to everyone; May your mercy not fail now for us, unworthy, restless in this busy world and nowhere finding consolation and compassion in spiritual sorrows and help in bodily illnesses: heal our illnesses, deliver us from the temptations and torment of the devil, who passionately fights, help us convey our everyday Cross, to bear all the hardships of life and not lose the image of God in it, to preserve the Orthodox faith until the end of our days, to have strong trust and hope in God and unfeigned love for others; help us, after departing from this life, to achieve the Kingdom of Heaven with all those who please God, glorifying the mercy and goodness of the Heavenly Father, glorified in the Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen".

Prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker for alcohol addiction

If there is discord in the family due to the spouse’s drunkenness, then this is terrible. The first thing to start treatment with is a daily appeal to the Lord God and to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. It is important that the person praying is alone in the room with a candle, which is important to buy on a certain day - Thursday. The icon of the Mother of God, Jesus Christ, Matrona of Moscow and Nicholas the Wonderworker must be placed near the candle. Take a small container of water and add liquid to the food and drink of the person who drinks in the family. It is important to read the prayer three times. But that is not all. It is important to order a magpie in any church about the health of your other half. Water needs to be added to your husband for 40 days, without missing a day.

“Wonderworker Nicholas, I turn to you with a prayer. Generously have mercy and deliver my husband from demonic drunkenness. Against his will, they found disgust and devastated his craving for drunken libation. He will not sip, swallow or pour out harmful drink without a shudder. And he will sip and pour the property into the belly of holy water. Thy will be done. Amen".

The “Inexhaustible Chalice” prayer will help your husband’s alcoholism

Alcoholism literally eats many people alive. The body becomes exhausted, the person begins to think slowly, actions slow down, and the soul cries inside. According to the church and all believers, alcoholism is a manifestation of demon possession, the influence of the devil on the human body.

A person who is addicted to alcohol needs any help, even if he refuses it and claims that he is absolutely not sick. To provide support, you can take the icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice” and read a miraculous and powerful prayer against your husband’s drunkenness.

It is this icon that many who are faced with the problem of drunkenness turn to. After reading the prayer, a person is healed and delivered from alcoholism. It is important to read the sacred text several times with good intentions. During the reading for 40 days, it is important to fast, go to church regularly, and order a magpie for your husband’s health.

Oh, Most Merciful Lady! We now resort to Your intercession, do not despise our prayers, but mercifully hear us: wives, children, mothers and those obsessed with the serious illness of drunkenness, and for this, for the sake of our mother - the Church of Christ and the salvation of those who fall away, brothers and sisters, and heal our 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, of wives who weep for their husbands, of children, the orphaned and the poor, abandoned as lost, and of 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 the endless ages of ages. Amen.

A story from life when reading a strong prayer for my husband’s alcoholism

The woman, whose husband resorted to drinking a bottle every day, was almost desperate and did not know what to do next with her family life. Having visited the church, she read a prayer against the drunkenness of her beloved husband to Matrona of Moscow. After a while, the husband seemed to awaken from oblivion, woke up from a deep sleep. The man recovered and no longer wanted to drink. And all this despite the fact that he suffered from alcoholism for many years.

Coding, which was done about five times, did not help; even the psychologist whom the family actively visited did not help. Life literally turned into a living hell when a man, in a fit of alcoholic intoxication, began to think about suicide.

The wife did everything possible to stop her husband from drinking anymore. The church was the only salvation, a miracle happened. Now the family lives happily, and the husband no longer reaches for the bottle.

A little bit of history

Where did such a miraculous prayer for my husband’s alcoholism come from? In 1878, the sacred text became known to everyone. This story happened to one soldier who drank a lot. The once handsome and intelligent man has turned into a man with a low standard of living. The man had awards, prosperity, a beloved woman, but, addicted to the bottle, he lost everything, often begged and got sick.

In a dream, the soldier saw the Lord God, who ordered him to appear in the city of Serpukhov at the monastery to serve a prayer service before the icon of the “Inexhaustible Chalice.” Waking up from sleep, the man followed the words of God. The road to the monastery was not easy, as I had to crawl on all fours - my legs gave out from the alcohol. But after reading a prayer in front of the icon, which at that time was still little known, the soldier felt enlightenment and unprecedented relief inside. He was able to stand up, his legs no longer hurt.

This news spread to all corners of the world, because once a dying man got rid of alcohol addiction as soon as he read a prayer in a place that the Almighty himself showed him in a dream. This is how the healing prayer and icon became famous.

Strong prayer for husband's alcoholism over a long distance

There is another very powerful prayer that really helps, even if the spouse is not nearby, but very far away. This prayer is for those whose husband suffers from alcoholism, but is not nearby at the moment. The sacred text is read until the man is nearby.

Oh, Blessed Elder Matrona of Moscow, I turn to you with a prayer. Not for wealth and prosperity, but about her drinking husband. Free him with your mercy from alcohol addiction and do not let his immortal soul perish. As soon as he touches the bottle, hit him on the back of the head. As soon as he takes a sip, he will feel a little sick. As soon as he gets drunk again, let him immediately become hysterical. Tears will flow from his eyes, he will drink for the last time. Thy will be done. Amen.

In what cases is it best to resort to God's help?

Yes, prayers heal people, brighten their souls, and help atone for sins before the Lord God. But all this is only if the family is on the verge of divorce due to the husband’s bad habit. If you can talk with your spouse and come to a common conclusion, find a compromise, come to an agreement, then it’s worth trying to help get rid of alcoholism in a different, more humane way.

If the husband refuses to accept that he is sick, that alcoholism is the main enemy and demon, then it is necessary to turn to divine powers. The sacred text acts as support, because it is it that directs all the thoughts of the person praying towards the recovery of the other half. Also, you can always turn to Father in church; he will never refuse a conversation with a parishioner.

The sooner you repent of your sins, the better. Alcoholism is the worst thing that can happen. Not only the soul is healed, only good thoughts will be in the head. By sincerely reading a prayer for drunkenness, this incurable grief can disappear.

If there is nothing else to help the husband, nothing can save a person from terrible addiction, then the time has come to turn to God, who will always heal anyone who turns to him. Many girls ask the Lord God that alcoholism will no longer be a problem and the main cause of discord in the family. The grief goes away, and the husbands become the same as they were before drinking.

Alcohol today harms not only the drinker, but also the people around him. At the same time, it becomes more and more difficult to overcome alcohol addiction each time, since modern methods are not able to completely cure an alcoholic. For example, a well-known drug will help a person only if the alcoholic himself wishes it - if not, the drunkard’s relatives will “throw away” the money and time spent on treatment.

As practice shows, people who drink are not able to understand the seriousness of their own condition: they do not control their behavior, are not able to solve their own problems, and also cannot stand up for themselves. To save a drunkard from alcoholism, narcologists advise asking for help from saints, since church rituals allow an alcoholic to overcome his addiction forever. Why does prayer against drunkenness help best in the fight against alcoholism? The fact is that prayers and other conspiracies inspire a person to believe in himself, and also support him during treatment. If the text of the rituals is read by a loved one of an alcoholic, the drunkard feels supported and tries to get rid of his addiction.

Prayers against drunkenness

Today there are many prayers known, each of which has its own effect on a person and cures him of a terrible disease. Such prayers force the alcoholic to “encode” his energy resource, as a result of which the craving for alcohol weakens significantly. Of course, some do not believe in the effect of rituals, but others, with severe alcoholism in a person, have to try any way to get rid of this bad habit. To prevent an alcoholic from drinking, they are ready to ask anyone for help, as long as it helps them get rid of their addiction.

They say that if the prayers in front of the icon are read correctly, and a loved one of the drunkard says the sacred ritual sincerely and with all his heart, this will certainly help overcome alcoholism.

Today, prayer to an icon depends on the saint who is located on it. For example, the following saints can save you from drunkenness:

• Moses Murin;
• icon of the Mother of God “Inexhaustible Chalice”;
• Nicholas the Wonderworker;
• prayers to the Holy Mother of God;

Reading numerous reviews of people who have overcome alcoholism, one can understand that the Inexhaustible Chalice prayer for drunkenness is considered the fastest and most effective.

Not only an alcoholic, but also a person close to him who also suffers from this addiction is allowed to read such a ritual. This conspiracy has helped more than one generation to get rid of binges, restore vitality and accept new spiritual values.

Sinful people and heavy drunkards are allowed to pray to the icon of the Mother of God, since it helps everyone overcome this terrible illness. To quickly get out of a binge, it is recommended to read a prayer several times a day - at the same time, it is important to be sincere and kind towards the drunkard. You should not insult him or raise your voice at the person, because it should become clear to the Mother of God that your desire to overcome your loved one’s addiction comes from the bottom of your heart.

Persistence in repeatedly reading the prayer will not go unnoticed, and the sacred ritual will help overcome addiction in a short time.

The effect of the prayer to the Mother of God becomes noticeably “sharp” - the alcoholic suddenly comes to his senses and stops taking strong drinks. However, to consolidate this result, the person who asked for help from the icon of the Inexhaustible Chalice must pronounce the sacred words for another 40 days.

Prayers to this icon are considered especially powerful for a sister, brother, daughter or son who is unable to cope with alcoholism on their own. It is recommended to read the text of the plot in the morning, when everyone is still in the house.

To give an alcoholic a chance to restore his former life, the whole family should pray for him. At the same time, it is important to address only one icon and, accordingly, one saint.

People pray to the icon of the Inexhaustible Chalice so that the alcoholic does not know about it - then he will not deliberately play along and pretend to be a teetotaler. After all, it is much better when a person himself understands that he was able to quit drinking, and not when he was forced. To strengthen the result, after the sacred ritual, the drunkard should be given healing water, which will be obtained during the appeal to the saint.

Sequence of reading prayers at home

In order for the prayer service to help a person stop drinking alcohol, it is important to read it correctly:

• the first step is to prepare 1 candle purchased on Thursday;
• then it must be installed next to the icon of the Inexhaustible Chalice;
• a small bowl of water is placed under the icon, which must then be added to the alcoholic’s drinks (this only applies to non-alcoholic products);
• the text of the ritual should be pronounced in the dark 2 times;
• it is important to memorize the prayer, since the saints do not accept reading it from a piece of paper;
• After reading, you need to pray for the alcoholic, and also ask God for forgiveness for your relative, and also mention his sins, because of which Jesus should have mercy on him.

For the ritual to be effective, it is important for the person asking for help to repent, take communion and trust the Mother of God.

To consolidate the request and not refuse his words, the person praying should repeat the prayer every 40 days and visit church for sacred rituals.

For the Inexhaustible Chalice icon to help, first, the person reading the prayer must repent of his own sins.

Today, Father allows any relative to ask for help from the Mother of God, because the main thing is that the conspiracy is read from the heart, sincerely and openly. After reading the ritual of the Inexhaustible Chalice, it is also not forbidden to ask for help from other saints, which include Matronushka, Martyr Boniface, John of Kronstadt, and so on.

Attention: if a person who wants to save an alcoholic from a serious illness does not know how to read prayers, as well as “have a conversation” with saints, first they need to study with Father, who will tell you about all the subtleties and nuances of reading the prayer.

A strong prayer at the image of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” healed many addicts from the harmful aspirations. Even if they don't believe in its effectiveness, prayer works. We must not lose hope, ask God to soften the heart of the sufferer, give him strength to fight passion, and awaken his conscience. The Most Holy Theotokos will always support those who are determined to help their neighbor.

Prayer at the image of the “Inexhaustible Chalice”

The prayer “Inexhaustible Chalice” against drunkenness is a life-saving remedy in the hands of loved ones. This time-tested prayer has saved more than one alcoholic and transformed his life. Text of the prayer:






A request for the husband or son to stop drinking is added at the end in his own words. This prayer is suitable for any form of addiction when a person has lost control of himself and cannot stop.

Prayer will help overcome the following ailments:

• alcoholism;
• drug addiction;
• lustful passion;
• smoking;
• gambling addiction

It is not always possible for a family to convince an addict to start treatment, since not all of them realize the depth of their problem. Prayer for a father, husband or son is the only way to help in this situation.



How to pray correctly?

Home prayer for your neighbor, said with love and compassion, calls on the grace of God and sends relief. Before you start praying, you need to take a close look at yourself. “The prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much,” says Scripture. Attending divine services, cleansing the soul in confession, and participating in the sacrament of communion will transform the prayer book, making his spirit subtler and purer, and therefore closer to God. Spiritual work on yourself will help you cope with anger, irritability and despair. Only love can turn a suffering person to the true path.



The image of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” can be installed in several places: on the home iconostasis and in the drinker’s room (if he does not resist it). It is better to read petitions in private. Often the demon takes up arms against prayer, and an alcoholic can become aggressive when he sees his mother or wife praying. If this happens, it is better to hide your prayer work.

The petitions of the alcoholic himself have the greatest power to get rid of passion. Not everyone is ready to realize their own fall and turn to God only after a strong shock. For everyone, the Lord finds his own way, but it would be better not the tragedy of loved ones, but the stubborn, fervent prayer of a mother or wife. It is important to awaken the voice of conscience, call for the help of the Mother of God, and the Lord will manage everything.



How many times should I read the prayer?

It is necessary to pray every day, including a petition from the image of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” as part of the daily prayer rule. If the feeling of prayer weakens or there is no quick result, the number of repetitions should be increased.

You can take on a heavy burden and read the prayer, for example, 40 times a day, if time permits. A large number of readings increases attention to the words of the petition, evokes a feeling of repentance, and shows God the patience and diligence of the prayer book.

Perseverance in prayer is very important. The Gospel of Luke in chapter 18 describes the parable of Jesus Christ about an unrighteous judge who did not want to protect a widow. She gave him no rest with her requests, and the judge, so that the woman would not bother him anymore, agreed to help. Christ says: “Do you hear what the unrighteous judge says? Will not God protect His chosen ones who cry out to Him day and night, although He is slow to protect them? I tell you that he will give them protection soon.”



Church requirements for drinkers

You can pray anywhere, because prayer is our appeal to the Lord and His saints. But people noticed that a prayer read in church by a priest during a service or service is heard more quickly by God. In many large churches, akathists and prayers are served weekly at the image of the Virgin Mary “The Inexhaustible Chalice”. It is necessary to submit notes with the names of the person suffering from the disease of drunkenness and his loved ones for the liturgy and prayer service. This calls on the grace of God, because the whole fullness of the Church prays for them.

People often expect immediate results from their prayers. But you need to work hard for this. Monastic prayers called the “Indestructible Psalter” will help - this is a monastic round-the-clock reading of the Psalter with the mention of names.

Many monasteries offer to order various services and reading the Psalter via the Internet. For example, at the Vladychny Monastery, names can be submitted via email or by telephone.

It is important to order the reading of the Psalter to those praying for an alcoholic. This way you will feel support for a good cause and will gain more strength.

Miraculous icons

Visiting revered icons helps miraculously. They can be recognized by the hanging decorations in the frame. Grateful prayer books bring gifts of chains, rings and other jewelry, thereby testifying to the miracle that has happened in their lives.

The history of the appearance of the image is unusual and very interesting. The appearance of this image of the holy icon first occurred in 1878. In Tula, a peasant of this province, a former soldier, had an uncontrollable desire to drink alcoholic beverages.

He drank absolutely everything he had, all his property, and soon became impoverished. He lost his legs from excessive drinking, but he was never able to quit the bad habit of drinking. One day, through a dream, the image of an elder appeared to him and ordered him to go to Serpukhov, to the Church of the Lady Theotokos, where the icon of the Mother of God is located, and order a prayer service for her.

Prayer to the Mother of God “Inexhaustible Chalice”

It is known that the prayer to the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice” is very strong and effective, therefore, without a penny in his pocket, and practically without control of his lower limbs, the peasant did not dare to set off. But the elder appeared to him twice, and then three times, threateningly ordering him to carry out his order.

And so, leaning not only on his legs, but also moving his hands, the reserve soldier went to the Serpukhov Monastery.

Having reached the appointed place, he told those living in the monastery about his dreams and asked to serve a prayer service to the icon of the Virgin Mary. But no one in the monastery understood which icon the wanderer was talking about.

And then the monks remembered the icon that hung in one of the aisles of the temple. On the back, on the reverse side, there was an inscription: “The Inexhaustible Chalice.” Seeing Varlaam, who was a student of Saint Alexy, the peasant instantly recognized the elder who came to him in strange dreams. The retired soldier returned home as a completely healthy man.

The news of the miraculous healing quickly spread throughout the area. People who were possessed by the passion of drunkards, their relatives hurried to offer words of prayer to the icon for the healing of such an illness. More people came to thank her for her great mercy. The prayer for alcoholism “The Inexhaustible Chalice” instantly scattered throughout all nearby settlements.

Prayer to the icon “Inexhaustible Chalice”

Now, the image flaunts in Serpukhov, in the Church of the Intercession of the revived Vysotsky Monastery, where tens of thousands of pilgrims come to cleanse themselves of alcohol and drug addiction. After a while, they return to the temple to offer prayers of gratitude for the miracle that happened.

The day of the icon is celebrated on May 18. And one should turn to Her miraculous face for the protection of the Most Pure Virgin like this:

“Oh, most merciful Lady! We now resort to Your intercession, do not despise our prayers, but graciously hear us: wives, children, mothers; and the serious illness of drunkenness of those possessed, and for this sake from your mother - the Church of Christ and the salvation of those who fall away, brothers and sisters, and heal our 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, of wives who weep for their husbands, of children, orphans and wretches, abandoned by those who have gone astray, and of 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, so that the mercy of God will cover us for the endless ages of ages. Amen".

This prayer text is most often used as the “Inexhaustible Chalice” prayer against a husband’s drunkenness.

Icon “Inexhaustible Chalice” - prayer against drunkenness

In the monastery book, records of the healings that occurred are kept. It records cases of healing of the unbaptized and representatives of other religions who read the text of the prayer. This portends positive results in getting rid of drunkenness and drug addiction, even for those who have just set foot on the righteous path and are beginning to fight the addiction.

After all, it is worth noting that alcoholism is not only a physical illness, but also a mental trauma. And we shouldn’t forget about this. If a person does not have the opportunity to find the strength to give up his addiction, then where will he get the strength to pray for his soul, ruined by a bad habit?

Thanks to the family and friends of an addicted person, prayer against drunkenness becomes an important part on the path to healing. Most likely, prayers for drunkenness are addressed only when attempts, persuasion, and medical procedures are left behind without positive results.

People rush around in search of an effective way. They expect immediate healing results from the spoken petition. But it is worth noting that without willpower and true faith, they often despair and give up, because reading prayers for one’s neighbor is not an easy task.

• Prayer is not a magic potion that heals a severe and deep wound in an instant. Her power is not detectable by human eyes. Mother, they resort to asking the Lord, since this prayer for her son’s drunkenness is strong - “The Inexhaustible Chalice” helps without fail.
• Anyone suffering from any addiction, for whose fate loved ones will sincerely pray, cannot help but feel the full power of Divine help. He begins to be tormented by remorse, and a frantic struggle between good and evil awakens inside.
• Therefore, it is not recommended to give up just because a day after reading the prayer, no visible results are visible.
• If your prayer comes from a pure heart, if you firmly believe that it can help the lost soul of your relative not to commit any further sins, this is an insignificant, but confident step towards the healing of the patient.

Begin your prayer work after the blessing of the priest. You may have the opportunity to take responsibility and accomplish a great feat: fasting for 40 days.

May the Lord protect you!
