You ask for prayers to help with your addictions. That is a good start. I have a friend who says her addictions started when as a child of 6 she became the sexual reward in the neighbour's game of cards. Sweets, obesity and then amphetamines to keep slim during her modelling career. There is probably nothing you can imagine she didn't do to excess during some 50 years of addictive behaviour including over 1,000 sex partners, several suicide attempts. Sinking into degradation to silence the howl of feeling she was dirt. She is now not only a model of sobriety but a cheerful ebullient personality that radiates intelligent humour and a great zest for being alive, but still with problems that she deals with daily. She wouldn't have succeeded without addiction counselling with a wise man (who also happens to do TM) and her group of fellow addicts who are supportive of each other. She says there is nothing anyone can do until an addict REALLY wants to quit, that an addictive mind is really cunning and manipulative and crafty about remaining addictive. My own advice. Turn the addictive disorder first into something positive like health and fitness. Exercise that makes you sweat. My own predilection is Taoist Internal Arts see www.esotericarts.org for what I do and my essays. But something that makes you sweat, something that gives you pride in your physicality. And seek wise counselling. My friend ruined most of her family relations and has had to deal with such immense guilt. Further to the sensible advice not to start a family, Jung pointed out that anything in your unconscious undealt with you hand over lock stock and barrel to your children. Generally all the family of addicts also need counselling. Good luck.
