Getting there
About this meeting
Leighton Buzzard Thursday is a weekly Al-Anon Family Groups meeting at 8pm at the Friends Meeting House on North Street, Bedfordshire. The fellowship is there for people whose lives have been affected by someone else's drinking, including partners, parents, adult children and friends, rather than for the drinker. As an open meeting, it welcomes anyone with an interest, including a first-time visitor, without any need to contact the group in advance. The meeting lasts an hour and a half, allowing time for both sharing and quiet listening. There is no charge and no booking system in place; simply arrive shortly before 8pm and take a seat in the meeting house.
Common questions
Is this meeting for people who want to stop drinking themselves?
No. Al-Anon Family Groups are for people affected by someone else's drinking, such as partners, parents, adult children and friends, not for the drinker.
Is there anything to pay or arrange beforehand?
No. There's no fee and no booking process; you're welcome to just turn up.
What if I only want to see what Al-Anon is like, rather than join properly?
That's fine. Because the meeting is open, you can attend once, several times, or regularly, entirely at your own pace.
