It should work....But you never know. I never prayed when I drank...I drank 35 years....And I was hopeless. I prayed while I was in detox in rehab. I just said..."God...I can't do this anymore." Two days after detox an older lady came up to me and said..."You look like you need to go to an AA meeting."...I'd never been to one...I was ready to try anything....I went...And haven't had a drink since.
