About this meeting
Darlington's Al-Anon Family Groups meeting is held every Wednesday at 7pm at West Park Hospital on Edward Pease Way, Faverdale Estate, Co. Durham. Al-Anon exists for people whose lives have been affected by someone else's drinking, including partners, parents, adult children and friends, and is not aimed at the drinker. It is an open meeting, so newcomers, professionals and anyone wanting to learn more are welcome to attend without contacting the group beforehand. The meeting runs for an hour and a half. There is no cost and no booking system in place; those attending should allow a little extra time to find the meeting room within the hospital grounds and arrive before 7pm.
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.
Is this meeting held on the same day every week?
It runs weekly, so you can expect it on the same day and time each week.
