AA's for those who want it .. not those that need it.

All the best.

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.
