Let us, therefore, today, take up arms against inebriety

"Let us, therefore, today, take up arms against inebriety, and expose the 
folly of a drunken and dissolute life. Let us oppose those who live in 
intemperance; not that we may shame them, but that we may put them beyond 
the reach of shame; not that we may blame them, but reform them; not that 
we may hold them up to contempt, but that we may turn them from all 
dishonourable exposure, and snatch them from the grasp of the tempter. For 
he who lives daily in excess of wine and luxury and. gluttony is under the 
very tyranny of the devil. And oh that something better may result from our 
words! Should they, however, continue in the same course after our warning, 
we shall not on that account cease from giving right counsel. For the 
springs, even if no one drink of them, continue to flow; and fountains, 
though no one should use their water, still burst forth; and rivers, though 
no man profit by them, still run on. So then, also, it is right that the 
preacher, even if no one attend to his voice, should fulfil all his duty."

St. John Chrysostom, On the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. 

"He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who 
loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me."  Matthew 10:37

Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
