ALCOHOLICS PRAYER God bless all the alcoholics wherever they may be Bless those unfortunates who are in most need of sobriety Look upon them with compassion and mercy And lead them onto this wonderful fellowship That they may help themselves as they have helped us And thousands of others Bless those who are sober today Give grace to those who are on the way But God Please show compassion and mercy to those who may never come. Amen

The prayer must be kind of old. It's kind of parochial. Most of it is fine. But I would change the 4th line to:
And lead them onto the road of recovery or And lead them onto a road of recovery
AA is not the only route to alcoholism recovery nowadays. It'd be good to pray for alkies to get to any road of recovery. No need to leave out those who may go to other programs/fellowships.
