Held every Wednesday at 8.15pm at Fishponds Baptist Church on Downend Road in Fishponds, Bristol, this is a regular Al-Anon Family Groups meeting. Al-Anon Family Groups is for people whose lives are, or have been, affected by someone else's drinking, including partners, parents, adult children and friends. This is an open meeting, so first-timers are welcome alongside regular attenders. At around an hour and five minutes long, the meeting is free of charge and does not require the person whose drinking is a concern to attend. Newcomers are welcome without any need to get in touch beforehand.
Who can attend the Wednesday Al-Anon meeting in Fishponds?
Al-Anon Family Groups is for people affected by someone else's drinking, not for the drinker — partners, parents, adult children and friends are all welcome, and as an open meeting, newcomers can attend too.
Do I have to bring the person whose drinking is affecting me?
No. The meeting is for you, in your own right, and many people attend on their own without the person who drinks ever coming along.
Is there a cost to attend, and do I need to book a place?
Al-Anon meetings are free and there is no need to book. Just arrive for the start time of 8.15pm on Wednesdays.
