About this meeting

In Newtownsmith, Galway, an Al-Anon Family Groups meeting takes place every Tuesday at 8pm, at the Galway Diocesan Pastoral Outreach Centre at Áras de Brún. Al-Anon Family Groups supports anyone whose life has been touched by someone else's drinking, current or past, with the emphasis firmly on the member's own recovery from that experience rather than the drinker's behaviour. Being an open meeting, it welcomes anyone who wants to attend, whether a newcomer, a professional, or someone finding out what Al-Anon offers before committing to going regularly. Meetings last approximately an hour, free of charge, with nothing to sign up for in advance and no pressure to attend every week.

Common questions

Is this meeting open to anyone?

This meeting is open, so no one is turned away. Al-Anon Family Groups is for anyone whose life has been affected by another person's drinking, and first-timers are just as welcome as long-standing members.

Do I have to bring the person whose drinking affects me?

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 register before going along?

Al-Anon meetings are always free and there is no booking system - simply turn up on Tuesday at 8pm. It runs for roughly an hour.
