After 2.5 years of sobriety I just couldn't do it anymore .

Last weekend I ended a 2.5 year alcohol free streak . I quit in Oct of 2019 going into 2020 . It was a hard time to quit drinking but I did it . I was a moonshiner from a while and that really took my alcoholism to another level . I was having to take a couple shots just to get going in the morning . It was terrible . I begged God for the strength to pull it off and He came through . Fast forward to the present and I have another prayer that I can't seem to get answered. It's my wife . She has become impossible to get along with . I can tell that her demons have made it their goal to make my life a living hell . She gets offended by everything that comes out of my mouth. It can be a compliment and her "tenants" will get her wheels turning until she finds something wrong with it . It's every day all day. She has moments of kindness but I wonder if that is the real her or the fake her . When I try to do something to do with church she gets super pissed and always comes up with all the other things I should be doing . She is a narcissist. You can't tell her anything to help her or God forbid correct her . I have been dealing with it because we have a 6 year old daughter that I don't want to grow up in a broken home . I don't care how bad I have it . I with carry on but one thing is for sure , I NEEDED A DAMN DRINK !!. I am a Christian and I will not divorce but this is getting way over into mental abuse . I have been praying that she will have a real encounter with God so she will become aware of her sinful demonic ways . I am trying to figure out if I can somehow bypass her free will being the priest of the home and one with my wife . Is it possible to cast a demon out of someone who won't admit they have a problem ? I just can't get a breakthrough and I am wondering if God is waiting on me to do something different.

HELP !!

First off OP don't be too hard on yourself. Second kudos for being a good parent. And lastly grab your wife and give that bitch a good slap! Remind her of her motherly obligations and that of being a good wife. Tell her to make you a good dinner and while doing so to bring you a few beer and shot combos. She will see the light and you guys will have the best sex that night that you've had in 6 years...I guarantee it.

You're welcome

not to turn this into a spirit pissing contest, but God is clear on drunkards and hypocrites.

7 years sober.

Do not go back to the "Spirits",that will unleash more demons.

Say this when the demons come:

"Satan be corrected by the Father"

You are the head of the house. YOU have the power.

Did you try AA? They may have ways to deal with the alcoholic family that the church probably won't offer you. Or if she drinks, you might benefit from alanon. Both may tell you ways you can make personal changes that might ease the situation, since it is doubtful you can do much about her.

Keep praying, don't give up on sobriety or God. Letgo and let God.

This too shall pass.

Where you a drunk when you got married?
If not, maybe she has lost respect for you because of your former weakness. Maybe she doesn't have the courage to divorce you?

Talk to your wife, not us.

You just need a better replacement or substitute, like weed...Or see a doctor and have him prescribe something to increase neurotransmitters in the brain or help hold onto them longer, like an SSRI...That's why the craving never goes away, until you fix your brain chemistry...

I begged God.

It's my wife . She has become impossible . ..her demons...my life.
She gets offended by everything she finds something wrong with it .every day all day.
I wonder if that is the real or fake. she gets super pissed and always comes up with all the other things. She is a narcissist. You can't tell her anything.

Hey OP!

Congratulations on your run of sobriety. Whatever you do, do not consider your return to the bottle to be a failure. Rather, embrace the 2.5 years as a major WIN...and the first necessary step to a better life.

With all due respect to any religious beliefs you may have, or those posting on this thread holding the same, the answer isn't prayer, exorcisms, counseling or anything of that nature. You're core issue, weather marriage, drinking, career or any other superficial manifestation is inside YOU.

The answer to ALL of life issues is within YOU. You need no external inputs to have a new and better life.

Consider fasting. Disconnect with the illusion and entertainment of what we call eating.

My longest fast was 24 days. I am now in the final stages of a 30 day fast. It is life transforming and will literally change those around you.

It isn't necessarily easy for say the first 4-5 days. After that it is all mental.

Your wife will be in awe of you...and that is what is missing in your relationship.

I don't know what the means, a spirit does not piss...

I have done more lsd dmt mushrooms ketamine and all at the same time than all of you . I used ro be a signed dubstep dj . Traveled all over the world doing it all for many years . It just solidified my understanding of yahweh and Jesus. God didn't let the doctrines of demons take hold.

I am trying to figure out if I can somehow bypass her free will being the priest of the home and one with my wife.
HELP !!

... I am chosen . I have a major calling over my life in the ministry. God answeres my prayers on a daily basis but this prayer for a holy spirit intervention in her life has not come . I feel like maybe God wants me to be able to handle satan coming at me more gracefully before he fixes this . I am not winning this battle . I get so pissed off by the total disregard for decency and keeping the peace on her part .I pray WHAT IS THIS ALL FOR GOD !!! AM I GOING TOE TO TOE WITH LUCIFER HIMSELF ? IS THIS WHt I am training for ??? Aaaaaaahhh!!!!

I recently cold turkey’d SSRi’s, horrible experience and an EVIL drug!

I drink 20 beers a day, liver is Swiss cheese.

My existence requires beer, wish it was cheaper though..

I’ve never tried sobriety until this streak. I hear it’s a hell of a lot harder to get it back everytime you go back out. Best of luck dude.
