About this meeting

In Newtownsmith, Galway city, the Galway Diocesan Pastoral Centre, Áras de Brún, using the door nearest the Salmon Weir Bridge, hosts an Al-Anon Family Groups meeting every Wednesday at 1pm. Al-Anon exists for people around a drinker, partners, parents, sons, daughters and friends, whose own lives have been shaped by someone else's drinking, rather than for the drinker. It is an open meeting, so anyone in that situation can attend without contacting anyone first, and the person whose drinking has affected you does not need to come along. The meeting lasts an hour and is free, with no booking needed, held weekly at lunchtime.

Common questions

Who is this meeting for?

Al-Anon Family Groups is for people whose own lives have been affected by someone else's drinking, partners, parents, adult children, brothers, sisters and friends, rather than for the person who drinks.

Do I need to bring the person whose drinking has affected me?

No. The meeting is for you, in your own right. Many people attend on their own and the relative or friend who drinks never needs to come along, or even know you are going.

How do I find the right door at the Pastoral Centre?

Use the door nearest the Salmon Weir Bridge, which is the entrance given for this meeting at the Galway Diocesan Pastoral Centre, Áras de Brún.
