Biblical Encouragement - Alcohol Addiction

iOS iPhone

WorldLink’s Biblical Encouragement – Alcohol Addiction application provides encouraging Bible verses for the myriad of emotions and physical symptoms associated with alcohol abuse and addiction. The app facilitates a personal and meaningful conversation between you and God.

Start by telling God how you are feeling today about your alcohol addiction. Addicted? Anxious? Doubtful? Frustrated? Losing your will? Met your goal? Missed your goal? Ready to give up? Struggling with backsliding? Tempted? Worried about lifestyle changes? Not seeing results? And more. Then let God encourage you through His word, the Holy Bible (New International Version).

Easy to use – simply select one of more than 35 popular emotions and symptoms dealing with alcohol.

Personal - displays a series of relevant Bible verses specific to how you are feeling currently about your addiction.

Unique - includes a brief encouraging commentary on each verse.

The verses and comments will provide comfort and encouragement to you in a very personal and meaningful way.

For example, Frank is a recovering alcoholic who finds it a daily battle to avoid alcohol. He is tired and feeling like his addiction runs his life. He launches the Biblical Encouragement – Alcohol Addiction application. He selects the Addicted category. The app displays:

“Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise.” – Proverbs 20:1
COMMENT: Don’t let alcohol lead you astray. You are stronger and wiser than that. Seek Jesus instead of the bottle. He will not disappoint.

Now Frank is remembering that he has previously turned his battle with drinking over to God. For one more bit of confirmation, he presses the MORE button. The app displays:

“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” – James 5:16
COMMENT: Find an accountability partner through your church. Tell him your story regarding alcoholism. Ask him to pray for your healing. Ask him to keep you accountable. Ask him if he would be a listening ear if you are tempted.

Frank feels much better now and recommits to avoid all types of alcohol. He marks the verse as a “favorite”, and then emails the verse as an encouraging note to a friend who is also a recovering alcoholic.
