lululuvsGod View Profile History	Struggling with my brothers alcoholism.... Posted : 19 Dec, 2009 07:00 PM HI my name is Lucy..I am just seeking prayer for my brother named Phil. I currently live with my brother and I feel it is not by any accident that God has me here..However, my brother as of this past weekend took back to drinking. He is not a typical alcoholic..as he drinks at least 1/2 a gallon of vodka a day. We have tried ALL sources of help as a famliy. I know the biggest key missing for my brother is that he is not saved..He doesnt beleive in God..he always says higher power..I see him battling this and he is so lost. He needs Jesus..I dont want him to leave this earth without him. Just three months ago, my brother was on life support, and he was bleeding from his brain, stomach, kindeys liver, pancreas and had a grand mall seizure and a stroke..this was all due to excessive drinking. He goes on what they call binges..Today makes day number 5 he has spent drinking and eating his vodka..I dont know how to reach him..He was up today and walking around a bit I made him food and he could not speak..Here he was eating and he cannot answer..I need prayer for spiritual wisdom and discernment..but more importantly..that my brother would be saved..If his flesh had to die so be it from all the damage..but I cannot and do not want to know what it is like to lose someone you love spiritually...Please join with me to pray for his knowing Jesus and finding him...adn letting go...Thank you all brothers and sisters in Christ..may you have a wonderful blessed Christmas...Thank you for your prayers....Lucy Post Reply

That God will keep you covered so that you can be strong to be whatever God needs you to be for your brother now, and in the near future. Thank you for being transparent enough to share this personal crisis with us. In love, *GraceMae Post Reply

lululuvsGod View Profile History	Struggling with my brothers alcoholism.... Posted : 29 Dec, 2009 06:40 PM Hello all...just wanted to give you a quick update. My brother is still drinking : ( ...But please keep praying for him. As I said before, it is so important that he finally find Jesus and I know in my heart that is the key to what he is missing and needs to overcome this addiction and all that oppression he is under. I would ask that you keep my son Jacob in your prayers as well. I dont like a 10 year old having to witness this. This is but one of MANY struggles and tests that I am under..please pray for me as well that I may have Gods strength to keep moving forward....Blessings to you all...Love in Christ....Lucy Post Reply
