About this meeting

In Carlow, Co. Carlow, an Al-Anon Family Groups meeting meets weekly on Thursdays at 7.45pm at Askea Parish Centre, O'Brien Road. 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. As an open meeting, there is no restriction on who can sit in, so first-timers and people simply exploring the programme are just as welcome as long-standing members. Sessions typically run for around an hour and a quarter. There is no cost and no need to book a place; you can simply arrive for 7.45pm on Thursday and go in.

Common questions

Is this meeting only for family members of someone who drinks?

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.

Does the person who drinks need to come with me?

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.

Is there a cost, or do I need to book a place?

No cost and no registration are involved. Arrive for 7.45pm on Thursday, and you are free to leave whenever you need to as well. The meeting lasts around an hour and a quarter.
