A -is  for  our  most deadly foe Alcohol           B -is  for  the  Bottle, which we say no too           C -is  for  the  Control we no longer posses           D -is  for  the  1st Drink that can start a hell of a mess           E -is  for  the  Effort we make, just for today           F -is  for  the  Fellowship we find in AA           G -is  for  the  Group that we rely on for aid           H -is  for  the  Honesty we find there displayed           I  -is  for  the  Indifference we cannot afford           J -is  for  the  Jag that comes if we are bored           K -is  for  the  Knowledge that all of us need           L- is  for  the  new Lives it allows us to lead          M -is  for  the  Meetings we should always attend          N -is  for  the  Newcomers whose lives we may mend          O -is  for  the  Old ways we have now thrown away          P -is  for  the  Power that helps us today          Q -is  for  the  Questions the Queries and Quandaries          R -is  for  the  Replies which can quell our alarms          S -is  for  the  Steps that can show us the way          T -is  for  the  Traditions we try to obey          U -is  for  the  Urge to do useful things          V -is  for  the  Virtues sobriety brings          W -is  for  the Wisdom to seek not for the fame          X,Y,and Z is for my anonymous name
