Getting there
About this meeting
There is a weekly Al-Anon Family Groups meeting in Eastbourne, East Sussex, taking place on Wednesdays at 7pm at Community Wise, Ocklynge Road. Membership is open to anyone touched by someone else's drinking, not the person drinking, and includes husbands, wives, partners, parents, adult children and friends. 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 and a quarter. You do not need to register or pay anything; the meeting simply starts at 7pm and anyone is free to be there.
Common questions
Who is Al-Anon actually for?
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.
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.
Do I need to book in advance, and does it cost anything?
Al-Anon meetings are always free to attend, and there is no booking system, so turning up on Wednesday at 7pm is all that is needed. The meeting lasts around an hour and a quarter.
