About this meeting
Held every Wednesday at 12.30pm at the Friends Meeting House on Fisher Street in Carlisle, Cumbria, this is a regular Al-Anon Family Groups meeting. It is for anyone touched by a family member's or friend's drinking, whatever the relationship — partner, parent, sibling, adult child or friend. This is an open meeting, so first-timers are welcome alongside regular attenders. At around an hour long, the meeting is free of charge and does not require the person whose drinking is a concern to attend. Newcomers are welcome without any need to get in touch beforehand.
Common questions
Can I come if I'm not the one with the drinking?
Yes. This is an Al-Anon Family Groups meeting for people affected by someone else's drinking, whatever the relationship. It is an open meeting, so newcomers are welcome alongside regular members.
Do I have to bring the person whose drinking is affecting me?
No. The meeting is for you, in your own right, and many people attend on their own without the person who drinks ever coming along.

Al-Anon meetings are free and there is no need to book. Just arrive for the start time of 12.30pm on Wednesdays.
