About this meeting

The Lauriston Gardens Thursday Eve meeting is an Al-Anon group that meets weekly at 7.15pm at St Catherine's Convent on Lauriston Gardens in Edinburgh. Al-Anon Family Groups are for anyone whose life is or has been affected by someone else's drinking, including partners, parents, adult children and friends, whether or not that person is still drinking. The meeting is open, so newcomers can attend without any introduction or referral, and there is no requirement to have any connection to Alcoholics Anonymous. Members share their own experience of living with someone else's drinking rather than focusing on the drinker themselves. Anyone in Edinburgh looking for support for the first time is welcome to simply come along on a Thursday evening.

Common questions

Do I have to bring the person who drinks?

No. Al-Anon is for you, in your own right, and many members attend without the person who drinks ever being there.

Is there a cost or a need to book?

No, the meeting is free and there's no booking, just come to St Catherine's Convent for 7.15pm on Thursday.

Where in Edinburgh is the meeting held?

At St Catherine's Convent on Lauriston Gardens.
