Not everyone trapped by alcohol is an alcoholic

There is help for families affected by problem drinking.

In extreme cases, an alcoholic may be homeless, but many live in families that are struggling because of the challenges that come with problem drinking.

Family members become lonely, isolated, ashamed and depressed. They feel that life has become unmanageable or unbearable. Al-Anon-Alateen Family Groups is a support programme for people who are living with or have lived with the problems of someone else's drinking.

Al-Anon and Alateen for young people offer understanding and personal growth - whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not. There are free of charge meetings daily around Auckland. To find one visit online here.

Members share their experiences of applying the Al-Anon principles to their lives. There is no advice given or specific direction suggested.

Below are a few thoughts from people who have tried Al-Anon:

"I believed that the only thing I needed to be happy and safe was for my husband to stop drinking."

"My life had got so out of control not knowing what my state my daughter would be in when I got home."

"I thought I was strong enough to deal with this on my own...After trying everything, I went to my first meeting."

Post Covid Self-Worth

Andrea from Morningside

You touched the gold
I had buried inside
And let value shine through
I thought had died

Burning embers
Awakened trust
You sprinkled me… View more
You touched the gold
I had buried inside
And let value shine through
I thought had died

Burning embers
Awakened trust
You sprinkled me
With fairy dust

Shafts of prisms
Preserved like treasure
Off the chart
To explore at leisure

That, although you dug
And touched the centre
My self worth
Was never yours to measure

This month we’re rolling up our sleeves, putting up our hands, and saying ‘YES’ to giving our time and skills to projects that make Aotearoa a better place to live.

As a mostly volunteer-led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!

Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (20-26 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re getting involved this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:

Mirror Mirror on the Wall. Woops on the Road!

Mubashir Neighbourly Lead from Mount Roskill

So instead of responsibly disposing this off, you choose to chuck it on a pedestrian walk way! Even worse you let the peices scatter next to a primary school where kids walk and run!

I am only complaining? No you irresponsible civilian. I'll go there with a pair of gloves, a broom and a bag … View more
