Hi and welcome
I guess it depends what you're praying for.

For example, I used to pray with tears in my eyes for God to stop me drinking....looking back now it turns out I needed to do a little work myself to make that happen and make it stick, so I reckons that's why I got no reply.

I'm guessing getting laid isn't really what you want more out of life?

What do you really want? who do you really want to be? how hard are you prepared to work to make that happen?

I think we have to make a sober life we love - for me that was about purpose and meaning, making connections with people and being the best me I can be.

I also reconnected with the god of my understanding - I held a grudge again that guy for along time
