About this meeting

Al-Anon Family Groups holds a weekly meeting in Exeter, gathering every Tuesday at 1.15pm at the downstairs lounge of the Palace Gate Centre. Al-Anon exists for anyone troubled by someone else's drinking, past or present, with the focus staying on the member's own wellbeing rather than on the person who drinks, or on trying to change them. The meeting is held in the downstairs lounge of the centre. This meeting is open to all, so there is no barrier to walking in for the first time, whether alone or alongside someone else, and no obligation to say anything on a first visit. The meeting runs for about an hour, and there is no need to book or ring ahead - simply arrive and take a seat, even if it is your first time.

Common questions

Can anyone attend, or is it only for existing members?

Yes. This is an open meeting, so anyone can attend, including newcomers, family and friends affected by someone else's drinking, and professionals wanting to understand Al-Anon. There is no need to have attended before.

Can I attend on my own, without the person who drinks?

No, not at all. The meeting exists for your own support, and it is entirely normal to attend alone; the relative or friend whose drinking affects you does not need to be there.

Do I need to book or pay to attend?

No cost and no booking required. Arrive for 1.15pm on Tuesday; the meeting runs for an hour in total.
