Getting there
About this meeting
An Al-Anon Family Groups meeting is held every Tuesday at 7.15pm in Dumfries, Dumfriesshire, at The Loft, Dumfries Baptist Church Centre, Gillbrae 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. 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 quarter. There is no charge and no booking system, so you are free to walk in on the day.
Common questions
Who is this meeting for?
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. 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?
Al-Anon meetings are always free to attend, and there is no booking system, so turning up on Tuesday at 7.15pm is all that is needed. The meeting lasts around an hour and a quarter.
