Addiction and Sobriety

Hey guys I was looking for some resources on getting sober and being free from addiction.
Addiction runs in my family and my history with drug and alcohol prove I have a problem, I’ve also been addicted to other things like sex, masturbation, porn, and the internet/social media.

I’ve deleted all my social medias except this one.
Sex really isnt a problem since woman arent begging to have sex with me and I dont have a fuck buddy/gf.
Masturbation/porn, I was able to pull off a 388 day streak on semen retention but relapsed last month and then again last night. I’ve been addicted to porn and masturbation the majority of my life and my spiritual discipline requires that I remain celibate. I know some people like masturabating and porn, please reframe from trying to convince me its good.

Alcohol, alcoholism runs in my family’s blood (both sides) I don’t drink alcohol often but when I do I tend to binge and drink a lot, over the past two days I drank and entire bottle of wine by myself.

Weed, I actually like weed and I’ve seen its benefits however, considering my addictive personality I tend to abuse it and smoke whenever I have it available. I’m able to take breaks and I may not give it up forever but I def wanna distance myself from its grip.

If anyone has entities to work with from the gallery of magick’s material I’d greatly appreciate it. I’m currently undergoing a transformation ritual from mystical words of power, and ritual for taking action with success magick, and I’m working with and angel from angels of alchemy for change and breaking a habit. I did a ritual for persistence out of the archangels of magick book and that day my pipe broke. I took that as a sign.
I’m open to working with a goetia demon from “demons of magick” but haven’t been working with them since the book instructs not to do rituals why high or drunk.

If anyone has recommendations or resources please DM me or reply!

I’m currently going through the “self authoring porgram” Jordan Peterson helped create. I’ve already written about my faults and kept my addiction in mind and have come up with an action plan to help combat these vices.

IF ANYONE HAS A GOOD PORN BLOCKER FOR LAPTOP PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I need it to block incognito as well.

I would call upon Opfaal, the Angel of Deliverance, from EA Koetting’s grimoire, Kingdoms of Flame. He has the power to free the mind from addictions.

Archangels of Magick has a talisman for clarity, as well as an invocation.
Why clarity? Because framing.
It helps to frame sobriety as a state in which you gain, not lose. Rituals of clarity help me to see what I can gain from being clear minded. Addiction is a struggle for me too, friend. You aren’t alone.

Thanks man I greatly appreciate it, stay strong!

As I stated I already did the talisman for persistence, I’ll def get around to doing the one for clarity!

Thanks man, I dont have that book though, I only have evoking eternity from E.A’s collection

You don’t need it. Opfaal’s seal is available on the forum. You should be able to find it with a quick search.

I think my approach is going to be to work with the angel from angels of alchemy, Opfaal, the clarity talisman, and then look through “Demons of magick” for a power that deals with it as well, so that I can hit is from multiple angles

BELIAL

Discard the unwanted. A power that is easy to underestimate,
especially when offered on the same page as riches, the ability to
discard an aspect of your life is possibly one of the best in the book.
You can choose to discard an attitude, a personality trait, an
infatuation, or even situations such as relationships, by asking Belial
to remove them from your life.

Alcoholism and most addictions including sex have their origin in high anxiety. You need to address that.
Is Peterson’s program helping you? I bought it too and found it meaningless and boring.
The best porn blocking program is your will.

Well there’s a lot of factors that contribute to it. Anxiety is one. I take mood stabilizer medications since Im Bipolar 1.

Well its critical thinking and self reflection, it also acts as a guide for further reference. It far from fun, and it’s also triggering (just like how therapy is). Critical thinking and self reflection have always been interesting and important to me.

I’m in the same boat as you friend, been working with the same entities and did same rituals… They did helped me to get high streaks just like you had with 360 days , but I can’t completely erase this garbage out of my life… Highly recommended spirits in this forum remain Opfaal and Belial… Perhaps should we try working with them ?

Also there’s a ritual called ‘‘personal power recovery’’ from the book ‘’ Six Ways: Approaches & Entries for Practical Magic’’, it boosted tremendously my recovery process, but still It didn’t help to stop the addiction. The same book offer potent meditation techniques, that I plan to use daily hoping it will help… Are there any daily rituals you’re doing to ‘‘empower’’ yourself ? like LBRP ?

Cause I’ve got a feeling that we need to practice a ritual/activity daily to maintain our awareness and a sound mind in order to avoid relapsing… Or perhaps working with spirits each 3-4 days

I do the “circle of power” ritual from Archangels of Magick. It serves the same purpose as the LBRP.
And yes I do magick daily, it def helps

I did the same ritual and also got instructed about the traditional LBRP, can already say that the traditional way seem much more consistent and profound. I will give it a try for a week and see for myself if I get more results
