Sometimes it seems as if our recovery is growing much too slowly. We struggle with the steps; we wrestle with the same problems; we labour under the same on comfortable feelings day after day. We wish that recovery would move a little faster so we could find some comfort!

Wishing doesn’t work in recovery; this isn’t a program of magic. If wishes cured addiction, we all would have been well long ago! What does give us relief in recovery is action and prayer.

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) have worked for so many alcoholics and addicts because they are carefully designed programs of action and prayer. The actions we undertake in each of the steps bring more and more recovery to each area of our lives. And prayer keeps us connected to our Higher Power. Together, action and prayer keep us well-grounded in recovery.

Today is a good day for action and prayer. Try it out at AA and NA meetings, they weekly meet at:

- AA Swahili meetings on Saturdays at 10:00am

- AA English meetings on Tuesdays at 1:00PM

- NA Swahili meetings on Mondays and Thursdays at 5:00pm
 

- AA Swahili meetings on Saturdays at 4:00pm

- AA English meetings on Mondays and Wednesdays at 3:30pm.
 

- AA Swahili meetings on Fridays at 11:00am

- AA English meetings on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 11:00am and 6:30pm respectively.
 

Someone will be available to speak about Alcohol/Drug related problems at 4:00pm at the

AA - Monduli Roman Catholic Church or by appointment.
