Only you can decide...
If you seem to be having trouble with your drinking, or if your drinking has reached the point where it worries you a bit, you may be interested in knowing something about Alcoholics Anonymous and the AA programme of recovery from alcoholism.
AA New Zealand hosts in excess of 500 meeting groups 7 days a week, 365 days of the year across the country. Visit aa.org.nz or phone 0800 229 6757
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength and hope with each other, that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Te Koru Kai
What is Te Koru Kai?
Te Koru Kai is a food scrap exchange initiative created to support our Eastside whānau and whenua. Here's how it works:
➡️ You provide us with your food scraps.
➡️ In return, we give you fresh eggs.
➡️ Eventually, this will expand to include vegetables and meat!
This is a kaupapa designed specifically for the Eastside community to promote sustainability, reduce waste, and strengthen connections.
At the moment, Te Koru Kai is full, but I’ve started a waiting list. If you’d like to join, I can add your name, and you’ll be contacted when spaces open up.
Phone 0220805031 . You can find me on FB Claire Star
