Getting there
About this meeting
There is a weekly Al-Anon Family Groups meeting in Brighton, East Sussex, taking place on Saturdays at 10.30am at Friends Meeting House, Ship Street. It is a fellowship for relatives and friends of people who drink, not for the person with the drinking, and covers partners, parents, adult children and close friends alike. 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. You do not need to register or pay anything; the meeting simply starts at 10.30am and anyone is free to be there.
Common questions
Can anyone attend this meeting?
It is for family members and friends affected by another person's drinking, rather than for the drinker. That covers partners, parents, grown-up children and close friends. Because this is an open meeting, anyone with a connection to the situation can come along, including on a first visit.
Do I have to bring the person whose drinking has affected me?
No. You are welcome whether or not the person whose drinking concerns you ever attends themselves. Plenty of members come by themselves, and the meeting works the same way either way.
Do I need to book in advance, and does it cost anything?
Al-Anon meetings are always free to attend, and there is no booking system, so turning up on Saturday at 10.30am is all that is needed. The meeting lasts around an hour and a half.
