Athlone Women’s Group

The Athlone Women's Group meets every Tuesday at 8pm on Patrick Street, off Connaught Street, in Athlone. As the name indicates, this Alcoholics Anonymous meeting is specifically for women, giving them a space to talk about a desire to stop drinking among other women working the same programme. Some people find that easier than a mixed meeting, particularly early on. It runs on the usual AA basis, with members sharing their own experience rather than following professional guidance, and there is no charge to attend and no need to book a place in advance of a Tuesday evening visit.
