St. Maximilian Kolbe is typically considered the patron saint
of drug addicts/against addiction and Venerable Matt Talbot is also
frequently called on to help those with addiction, but St. Mark Ji
Tianxiang might be worth praying to for help as well. Ive never
heard of him until recently. St. Mark is one of the Chinese martyrs
and, apparently, for the last 30 years of his life he was barred
from receiving the sacraments because he was an opium addict. It
doesnt sound like he was totally freed from addiction before he was
martyred, but he tried and always prayed that he would be, so Im
sure hed be a great intercessor for others who want freedom.
