Addiction Recovery Prayers
Prayers for strength, honesty, and support through recovery.
These prayers walk alongside the real work of addiction recovery — facing cravings, learning from relapse instead of giving up, and finding courage to ask a pastor, counselor, or recovery community for help. They treat honesty and outside support as part of God's provision, not separate from faith. For families affected, see family prayers.

Prayer to Remove Addiction Environments
Father, remove from my life the relationships and environments that feed my addiction. Help me to make the hard changes that real and lasting recovery genuinely requires. Amen.
