I just found this in the Common Book of Prayer:
ALMIGHTY and most merciful Father; We have erred, and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have done those things which we ought not to have done; And there is no health in us. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare thou them, O God, who confess their faults. Restore thou them that are penitent; According to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesu our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake; That we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, To the glory of thy holy Name. Amen.

"Grant me never to lose sight of the exceeding sinfulness of sin, the exceeding righteousness of salvation, the exceeding glory of Christ, the exceeding beauty of holiness, and the exceeding wonder of grace. I am guilty but pardoned. I am lost but saved. I am wandering but found. I am sinning but cleansed. Give me perpetual brokenheartedness. Keep me clinging to your cross."

God, I have an addiction. It is hurting me and those I love. I am frightened. Be with me, God, calm my fears, show me Your love.
Give me courage to conquer my cravings. Grant me the strength to stay far from temptations and from people who can lead me astray. Keep me far from any comfort that is false and destructive.
Help me, God, to hear the cry of my soul. Teach me that I have the power to remake my life, to repair what I have destroyed, to recover what I have lost, to receive all the blessings I have ignored.
When I fall into despair, fill me with hope. If I stray from my path, show me how to begin again. Renew my faith in you Father. Help me believe in a new beginning. Show me how to vanquish the darkness in my heart and uncover your holy light that shines inside of me. Open my eyes, to all the miracles that surround me.
Bless my journey, God; Lead me on the path to life, back to love, back to You.
Amen.

Perhaps this prayer will help you as it has me: "Lord, I have been struggling with my addiction. I cannot resist in my own power. No matter how I determine in advance, when the moment comes, I find myself wanting to do the forbidden thing. I cannot desire to do the right thing myself. Lord, I honestly do DESIRE to do the right thing. I am WILLING to desire to do the right thing. But you must empower me to have a godly desire when temptation comes. I yield my WILL to you. At this moment, please work in me to WILL your good pleasure." Fantastic... I am going to start reciting this in the when i wake in the morning...

I pray today for wisdom to know the difference between what is good and bad and for God's help to always choose that which is good.
