Nowadays, unfortunately, many people pray the serenity prayer to the anon to be able to live with an alcoholic relative.
I recommend our article Praying for my husband, who has been an alcoholic for several years, as a supplement to this reading.
It is a difficult task to deal with an alcoholic relative.
So much so that the closest members of the family need to be trained by qualified people to be able to live together in a healthy way.
This addiction not only damages the life of the person, but also their family.
It is estimated that every alcoholic affects the lives of at least four people.
This is because alcoholism is a family disease.
It is very difficult to try to live with a person who only cares about his addiction.
Statistics show that those who manage to overcome this addiction are those who are lucky enough to have a family to support them.
Some seek specialist help to treat their family member.
Others pray the Serenity Prayer to the Anon for the strength to carry on.
Let’s look at what Al-Anon means and why alcoholics and their families turn to it.
Al-Anon
Al-Anon is a group that helps the family and friends of alcoholics.
Its purpose is to offer comfort to the family members and understanding and support to the alcoholic.
It is completely free, and although it is not affiliated to any religion, it does not exclude any religion.
This means that it is compatible with any religion.
The Al-Anon community is made up of family and friends who have been affected in some way.
They share their experiences and give each other the strength to deal with common problems.
The fellowship was founded in 1951 and now has about 24,000 groups in more than 115 countries.
With no membership or monthly fees, the community is supported by voluntary contributions from family and friends.
Here the Serenity Prayer is said to the Anon for comfort and strength.

Al-Anon is not affiliated with Alcoholics Anonymous, although the two work together.
It is a fellowship of moral support, not a substitute for professional treatment.
serenity prayer to the anon
This is the standard group prayer.
It is also known as the “Serenity Prayer” and is attributed to the German-born American writer Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971).
Niebuhr was an evangelical minister and professor at New York Theological Seminary.
He made the connection between political liberalism and biblical theology.
According to his daughter, the prayer was written on a Sunday in 1943.
This is the Serenity Prayer to the Anon used in fellowship to encourage the families of alcoholics.
This prayer has become popular throughout the world.
It is said to have been translated into over 25 languages.
As a result, it can be found on clocks, decorative pictures, notebook covers and much more.
Another point of view
This is a very beautiful and heartfelt prayer.
You can see that its author wrote it when he was going through a difficult time in his life.
Serenity, courage and wisdom are three qualities that every Christian should have.
Serenity
To face each of the vicissitudes that come our way.
Therefore, we must ask God to calm us in the face of adversity.
Courage
God’s Word says that we must strive and be courageous.
Only courage can defeat the depression that certain circumstances can cause us.
Wisdom
This is one of the most important qualities because it helps us to distinguish between right and wrong.
When we are nourished by the Word of God, it not only increases our spiritual growth.
It also increases our wisdom, so we should pray to God to give us His wisdom.
People’s actions determine whether their wisdom is spiritual or earthly.
God’s Word says in James 3:14-18 that there is a marked difference between the two kinds of wisdom.

That which comes from our Father is pure, peaceable, gentle, kind and full of mercy.
It gives us good fruit, without insecurity or hypocrisy.
The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace and in those who make peace.
For this reason, of the three qualities mentioned in this prayer, the most complete is wisdom.
When we gain the wisdom that comes from our Father, the rest is added.
Another prayer for our family members who are alcoholics or have addiction problems
We would like to suggest that if you are going through such a situation.
Seek God’s help.
He is the only one who can solve each and every one of your problems.
You just need to have a repentant and humble heart to ask for His help.
Blessed Heavenly Father
We thank you for giving us the opportunity
to be heard
Because of your word we know that you are a great and powerful God.
That we can do all things with you if we do what is pleasing to you.
Today I want to bring my family member before you.
You know him and you know his heart.
So I ask you, beloved Father
Have mercy on him and his life
And help him to mend his ways
That he may turn away from this world that is destroying his life
And the lives of his family
Father, I ask you to give him and his family strength
So that they can get out of this problem
I ask this in the name of Jesus, Your Son.
Amen.
