About this meeting

An Al-Anon Family Groups meeting is held every Wednesday at 1pm in Belfast, at St Malachy's Parochial Hall, St Malachy's Chapel, 22 Alfred Street. 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. This is an open meeting, so anyone with a connection to the situation, including newcomers still deciding whether Al-Anon is for them, is welcome to attend. The meeting runs for around an hour. There is no cost and no need to book a place; you can simply arrive for 1pm on Wednesday and go in.

Common questions

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

Al-Anon Family Groups is for people whose lives are, or have been, affected by someone else's drinking, not for the person who drinks. Members include partners, parents, adult children, other relatives and friends. This particular meeting is open, so anyone in that situation, including newcomers, is welcome to sit in.

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 1pm on Wednesday, and you are free to leave whenever you need to as well. The meeting lasts around an hour.
