Just some words of advice from personal trials and experiences.
When you feel that temptation. when you feel the devil luring you toward alcohol and drugs.. PRAY! some times i have to go farther than praying. when i dont feel like the prayer is enough.. i bring out my Bible and study.. pretty hard to drink or do drugs if you studying the Word of God.
and a second thought about prayer. we are in a spiritual war. in a real war we prepare for battles to come. even for the unexpected ones. you should do this in your spiritual war too. just dont pray right when you need it.. build up a "prayer bank" as i like to call it. like Daniel in the lions den.. he didnt wait to get thrown in to pray. he was consistantly praying everyday. he had put alot of prayer into his "prayer bank". and when he got in a tight spot.. he had plenty to withdraw.
and im not saying tht praying right then and there will not help. b/c it will. i just cant help but feel that if you have constantly pray for help fighting the temptation instead of just when your having it. then you will come out better in the end.
Prayer is our preparation for the Spiritual Battles in life... Always be prepared.
