There is a weekly Al-Anon Family Groups meeting in Cork City, taking place on Tuesdays at 8.30pm at The Haven, Bachelors Quay. The group is for people whose lives have been shaped by someone else's drinking, drawing partners, parents, adult children and friends together to share their own experience. It is held as an open meeting, meaning anyone who thinks Al-Anon might help them is free to come along. The meeting itself lasts around an hour. No booking or payment is required; newcomers usually find it easiest to arrive a little before the 8.30pm start.
Can anyone attend this meeting?
Al-Anon Family Groups is for people whose lives are, or have been, affected by someone else's drinking, not for the person who drinks. Members include partners, parents, adult children, other relatives and friends. This particular meeting is open, so anyone in that situation, including newcomers, is welcome to sit in.
Can I attend without the relative or friend who drinks?
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.
Do I need to book in advance, and does it cost anything?
No cost and no registration are involved. Arrive for 8.30pm on Tuesday, and you are free to leave whenever you need to as well. The meeting lasts around an hour.
