The Family Life Centre on St Mel's Road in Deanscurragh, Co. Longford hosts an Al-Anon meeting every Tuesday, starting at 8pm, and lasts around an hour. Al-Anon Family Groups exist for anyone, of any age, whose life has been touched by someone else's drinking. As an open meeting, it welcomes anyone with an interest in Al-Anon, as well as its own members. Newcomers are not expected to say anything at their first meeting, and many people attend for some time simply to listen before they join in. Al-Anon groups follow the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous, and meetings are self-supporting through voluntary contributions from members.
Do I have to bring the person whose drinking has affected me?
No. Al-Anon meetings are for you, in your own right, and many members attend on their own and never bring the person whose drinking has affected them. The only requirement for attending is that someone else's drinking has been a difficulty in your life.
Is there a cost to attend, and do I need to book?
There is no charge and no need to book. Al-Anon meetings are free to attend; simply arrive a few minutes before the start time and take a seat.
How long does the meeting last?
The Tuesday meeting runs for about an hour, starting at 8pm.
