About this meeting

Every Thursday at 12.15pm, an Al-Anon Family Groups meeting gathers in Northampton, Northamptonshire, at Northampton Cathedral, Primrose Hill, Barack Road. The fellowship exists for people affected by someone else's drinking rather than for the person who drinks, and its members include partners, parents, adult children and friends of someone whose drinking has caused them concern. This is an open meeting, so anyone with a connection to the situation, including newcomers still deciding whether Al-Anon is for them, is welcome to attend. The meeting runs for around an hour and a quarter. Nothing needs to be arranged in advance and there is no cost, so newcomers can simply come along on the Thursday.

Common questions

Who is Al-Anon actually for?

Al-Anon Family Groups is for people whose lives are, or have been, affected by someone else's drinking, not for the person who drinks. Members include partners, parents, adult children, other relatives and friends. This particular meeting is open, so anyone in that situation, including newcomers, is welcome to sit in.

Do I have to bring the person whose drinking has affected me?

No. The meeting is for you, in your own right, and many people attend entirely on their own. The person whose drinking has affected you never needs to come along, and does not even need to know you are going.

How do I join, and is there a fee?

There is no charge and no need to book. Just come along on Thursday for the 12.15pm start; you can simply take a seat when you arrive. The meeting lasts around an hour and a quarter.
