About this meeting
Held every Tuesday at 8pm, the Birchington Al-Anon Family Groups meeting takes place at the Birchington Wesleyan Methodist Chapel Church Hall on Chapel Place, Kent. Al-Anon is for people affected by someone else's drinking, not the drinker, and its members are partners, parents, adult children, siblings and friends supporting one another. Being an open meeting, it welcomes anyone with a reason to attend, whether that is a longstanding concern or a first tentative visit. The meeting lasts an hour and a half. There is no charge, no registration and no obligation to speak; those attending for the first time are welcome to simply sit and listen for as long as they need.
Common questions
Do I have to bring the person whose drinking has affected me?
No. Al-Anon is for you, in your own right. You can attend on your own; the person does not need to come, know you are attending, or be involved in any way.
How much does it cost to attend?
Nothing. Al-Anon meetings are free of charge, with no membership fee and no need to reserve a place.
Do I need any experience of Al-Anon before I come?
No experience is needed. The meeting is open, so anyone attending for the first time can simply arrive and take part at their own pace.
