Getting there
About this meeting
At Saint Columba's United Reformed Church, Alfred Street in Oxford, Oxfordshire, an Al-Anon Family Groups meeting runs weekly on Fridays at 12.30pm. 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. 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. There is no cost and no need to book a place; you can simply arrive for 12.30pm on Friday and go in.
Common questions
Can anyone attend this meeting?
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.
Can I attend without the relative or friend who drinks?
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?
Al-Anon meetings are always free to attend, and there is no booking system, so turning up on Friday at 12.30pm is all that is needed. The meeting lasts around an hour and a quarter.
