Social Service Centre, Queen Street, in Gort, Co. Galway, hosts a weekly Al-Anon Family Groups meeting on Mondays at 8pm. This is a fellowship for people whose lives have been touched by someone else's drinking, so you come along for yourself, whether or not the person concerned ever attends anything at all. This open meeting welcomes anyone, including people who are only just starting to wonder whether Al-Anon could help them. The meeting runs for about an hour and a quarter, finishing at around 9.15pm, and there is no need to let anyone know in advance that you are coming.
Does the person I am worried about need to come too?
No, they do not. Al-Anon is a fellowship for the people around someone whose drinking has affected them, not for the drinker, so you can attend entirely on your own behalf.
Is there a cost to attend, or do I need to book?
No, Al-Anon meetings are always free and there is no need to book. Just arrive at the start time and take a seat.
Is the meeting held every week?
Yes, this group meets every Monday at 8pm. There is no need to check in advance, as it runs weekly without exception.
