About this meeting

There is a weekly Al-Anon Family Groups meeting in Lancaster, Lancashire, taking place on Wednesdays at 7.30pm at Friends Meeting House, 23 Meeting House Lane. It is a fellowship for relatives and friends of people who drink, not for the person with the drinking, and covers partners, parents, adult children and close friends alike. Being an open meeting, it welcomes anyone affected by someone else's drinking, including people coming along for the first time. It lasts around an hour and a half. There is no fee involved and no booking required, so arriving a few minutes before 7.30pm is all it takes.

Common questions

Is this meeting only for family members of someone who drinks?

Al-Anon exists for people touched by someone else's drinking, whatever the relationship, whether a partner, parent, adult child or friend. The drinker themselves is not the member. This meeting is open, so newcomers and long-standing members attend the same session.

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

No, not at all. Al-Anon is about your own experience and wellbeing, so attending alone is normal and expected. The relative or friend concerned is not required to be there, or even aware of it.

How do I join, and is there a fee?

There is no charge and no need to book. Just come along on Wednesday for the 7.30pm start; you can simply take a seat when you arrive. The meeting lasts around an hour and a half.
