Getting there
About this meeting
Newbridge, Co. Kildare hosts a weekly Al-Anon Family Groups meeting on Wednesdays at 7.30pm, held at Parish Centre, Station Road. Al-Anon is built around the experience of living with, or having lived with, someone else's drinking, and its members are partners, parents, grown-up children, other relatives and close friends rather than drinkers themselves. 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. Attendance is free and nobody needs to book ahead, so you can just turn up shortly before 7.30pm.
Common questions
Who is this meeting for?
It is for family members and friends affected by another person's drinking, rather than for the drinker. That covers partners, parents, grown-up children and close friends. Because this is an open meeting, anyone with a connection to the situation can come along, including on a first visit.
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.
Is there a cost, or do I need to book a place?
Al-Anon meetings are always free to attend, and there is no booking system, so turning up on Wednesday at 7.30pm is all that is needed. The meeting lasts around an hour and a half.
