Getting there
About this meeting
At Bamber Bridge Methodist Church, Station Road in Bamber Bridge, Lancashire, an Al-Anon Family Groups meeting runs weekly on Fridays at 10.30am. The fellowship exists for people affected by someone else's drinking rather than for the person who drinks, and its members include partners, parents, adult children and friends of someone whose drinking has caused them concern. 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 and a half. There is no cost and no need to book a place; you can simply arrive for 10.30am on Friday and go in.
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.
Can I attend without the relative or friend who drinks?
No. The meeting is for you, in your own right, and many people attend entirely on their own. The person whose drinking has affected you never needs to come along, and does not even need to know you are going.
Is there a cost, or do I need to book a place?
No cost and no registration are involved. Arrive for 10.30am on Friday, and you are free to leave whenever you need to as well. The meeting lasts around an hour and a half.
