A certain sociologist once called Russia the most drinking country in the world.This is not quite true.In America, and the "good old" England are drinking less, and in the Czech Republic so generally have a pub area where "drinking holiday" happen almost every day.Just Russia, in contrast to the European countries of the world, is not shy about his illness.
Drunkenness in the family - a tragedy
In large cities, metropolitan life is very different from that which led to rural and village people.The village - a true microcosm with its own laws, and another time I come back, unwittingly struck by the fact that time seems to have stood still there decades ago.
Alas, rural family life - it's not always just Domostroy.More and more often to the village priest suit tired, frightened woman and whispered, carefully looking around, asking, "And is there any prayer from her husband's drinking?"
Now, unfortunately, alcoholism in the family, and not only the head of the family, but his wife is not a rarity.But although it is believed that people do not drink the good life, it is terrible to imagine what would happen if in the weekly binge took the whole village.But it is unlikely neighbor live better - just, perhaps, the fact that he understands the art of living better ...
"Drinks - so ..."
Yet, whether prayer helps her husband from drinking?..
fact that many of our women are spiritually much stronger than men, have long been proven.Both men, like submitting this change of roles, gradually hand over positions, turning into a sofa residents.And well, if there is only this ... "Beats - means love," - according to some ladies.And if he drinks and beats?
But in this case, the share of women especially do not complain, and the prayer of her husband's alcoholism is becoming more urgent.
To pray?
St. John of Kronstadt never suffered from this disease, but also the prayer of drunkenness husband, turned to this saint is, according to many women, literally and figuratively hlebnuvshie grief, the most powerful.Is it so?Quite possible.St. John of Kronstadt, which some in his life felt the new Messiah and created ioanistskie sect, was a strong prayer and the greatest devotee.So the one who thinks he has helped John of Kronstadt Prayer from drunkenness, not far from the truth.And yet there is an icon called "The Inexhaustible Cup", which is also, according to the assertions of some, works wonders.
Drunkenness, like drug addiction - is primarily a mental illness.The unfortunate patient (called a healthy person who does not have the forces to get rid of the pernicious passion for the green snake, do not turn the language) he can not, simply can not find the strength to pray for his soul.In this case, it can only help his family.And it is not so important, to whom prayers are offered - myself whether God, guardian angel or whether drunken John of Kronstadt - as practice shows, the most powerful prayer of drunkenness - sincere.It happens that the aid does not come immediately.Well ... in that case, it is appropriate to recall the wise words of one of the saints, who said that God gives so many trials, how many people will be able to endure.
