About this meeting

For anyone in Athlone whose life has been touched by a relative's or friend's drinking, Al-Anon Family Groups meets every Friday at 8pm at St Ciaran's House on St Mary's Place. It brings together people who share the experience of loving or living alongside someone who drinks, or once did, offering mutual support that belongs to them, not to the drinker, in complete confidence. This is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome to attend, including newcomers, professionals and people simply wanting to understand more about Al-Anon before deciding whether it is right for them. It typically runs for an hour, free of charge and with nothing to arrange beforehand, so anyone can decide to come along at short notice.

Common questions

Who can come to this meeting?

It is open to anyone. Al-Anon Family Groups exists for people affected by someone else's drinking, and this particular meeting welcomes newcomers, professionals and visitors alongside regular members.

Does the relative or friend I'm concerned about need to come with me?

No, not at all. The meeting exists for your own support, and it is entirely normal to attend alone; the relative or friend whose drinking affects you does not need to be there.

How much does it cost, and do I need to ring ahead?

There is no charge and no need to book. Just arrive at St Ciaran's House for 8pm on Friday; the meeting lasts about an hour.
