About this meeting
Al-Anon Family Groups runs a weekly meeting in Rathfarnham, on Fridays at 12.30pm, at St Marys Parish Centre, Rathfarnham Pastoral Centre, Willbrook Road. Membership is simply having a life affected by someone else's drinking, whether that person is a partner, parent, adult child or friend, and that person never needs to set foot in a meeting themselves. As an open meeting, no one will be turned away, and you do not need to have been before or to know anyone else in the room. Meetings of this length, around an hour, are typical for the group, and it finishes at about 1.30pm with no need to book a place.
Common questions
Can I come on my own, without the person who drinks?
Yes. This meeting is for you rather than for the person whose drinking has affected your life, and plenty of members attend alone, sometimes for years, without that person ever coming to Al-Anon themselves.
How much does it cost to attend?
Nothing. Attendance is free and there is no booking system; you are welcome to walk in without contacting anyone first.
Does this meeting run all year round?
Yes, it is a weekly meeting held every Friday at 12.30pm, so you can turn up on any Friday without checking first.
