God, Please, watch over this alcoholic. 

Be Thou my Higher Power as I strive towards recovery. 

Permit me to lean on You for strength and guidance.

Grant that I may become totally honest about my problem. 

Spark my spirit into awareness. 

Help me to deal with resentments, and the real curse of alcoholism.

Take from me all hatred, anger, and wilfulness and persuade me to work toward emotional health and maturity,  that I may fully enjoy the blessings of respectability. 

In Thy mercy, see fit to remove my cravings for that which will destroy me.

Keep ever mindful that alone, I am unable to maintain a happy sobriety. 

Bring me ever closer to you, and those who will help me along the way. 

Most of all, prompt me to extend my hand to the alcoholic who still suffers, so that through them I may find you, and my continued sobriety.
