Hi Brian, hope you’re alright - It’s a good thing you noticed, you can nip it in the bud so it doesn’t need to go any further. Drinking too much can cause problems, so it’s great you realise - you must be sensible to notice. Some people just need to be more careful than others. Pray you find other recreational activities that you enjoy that won’t cause any problems.
Dear Jesus, I pray to ask You Jesus to please help and assist Brian find alternative healthier fruitful ways to use to relax, or destress, switch-off, or wind down, or have a jolly, or deal with anything that might be bothering him. Please strengthen Brian when he wants to drink too much and help him have some self-control by Your Holy Spirit. Not sure if Brian has trusted on you Jesus, but I pray that You are at work in Him and His life for Brian’s good and well-being, and for Your glory. Amen.
