need urgent help---- please i need a prayer

[World Citizen]

Many children who grow up in alcoholic homes develop certain problems in adult life.
That is why there is a well known support group to help Adult Children of Alcoholics...

The Problem - Adult Children of Alcoholics - World Service Organization, Inc.

The question is....

Would YOU marry, or would you want YOUR CHILD to marry someone who had an obvious drinking problem?

As someone who grew up in an alcoholic home, I would NOT.

Anyone who has an unsolved addiction to any of our carnal desires is a risky partner because the spirit is obviously too weak or immature to be relied upon for anything.

Be careful and do not get impatient or do anything foolish by expecting to change him after marriage. It seldom works out that way. If he actually changes permanently before you marry . . . there is a better chance of it. But he would need to change for at least 6 months or more bfore you could trust that it might be permanent. If he is addicted . . . it would take longer and will always be a threat. My prayers are with you.

I second that statement.
