Getting there
About this meeting
In Angel, Islington, north London, an Al-Anon Family Groups meeting meets weekly on Saturdays at 10.30am at St Mary's Church, Crypt Room 1, Upper Street (use the side entrance). It exists for family members and friends who have been affected by another person's drinking, offering a place to talk it through with others who understand the situation from the inside. Being an open meeting, it welcomes anyone affected by someone else's drinking, including people coming along for the first time. It lasts around an hour. You do not need to register or pay anything; the meeting simply starts at 10.30am and anyone is free to be there.
Common questions
Who is this meeting for?
Al-Anon exists for people touched by someone else's drinking, whatever the relationship, whether a partner, parent, adult child or friend. The drinker themselves is not the member. This meeting is open, so newcomers and long-standing members attend the same session.
Do I have to bring the person whose drinking has affected me?
No, not at all. Al-Anon is about your own experience and wellbeing, so attending alone is normal and expected. The relative or friend concerned is not required to be there, or even aware of it.
How do I join, and is there a fee?
Al-Anon meetings are always free to attend, and there is no booking system, so turning up on Saturday at 10.30am is all that is needed. The meeting lasts around an hour.
