Every Saturday at 8.30pm, Malahide holds an Al-Anon Family Groups meeting. It's aimed at people whose lives have been shaped by someone else's drinking, including spouses, parents, grown-up children and friends. The focus is on members sharing their own experience of coping, rather than on the person who drinks. It meets for an hour at the Parish Centre next to St Sylvester's Church on Main Street, an open meeting where you don't need to bring anyone else along. No booking is needed and there's nothing to pay; newcomers can just come along.
Can anyone come to this meeting?
Yes. It is an open meeting, so partners, parents, adult children, friends and anyone else affected by someone else's drinking are welcome.
Do I have to bring the person who drinks?
No. The meeting is for you, in your own right, and many people attend on their own without ever bringing the person who drinks.
Is booking required, and is there a fee?
Attendance is free and unbooked, so you can walk in on the day; arriving a few minutes early helps.
