About this meeting

This Ringwood group is an Adult Children of Alcoholics meeting held face to face every Friday at 7.30pm at The Wesley Centre. ACA is a fellowship for adults whose childhood was shaped by a parent's drinking or by an otherwise dysfunctional home, using shared experience and the twelve steps to work through the effects that carried into adulthood, rather than to stop a habit of one's own. Being an open meeting, it welcomes anyone, whether that is someone who identifies with that background, a friend or relative, or a professional wanting to learn more. Attendance is free, there is no need to register, and newcomers are welcome to simply turn up for the start time.

Common questions

Do I need to have grown up with an alcoholic parent to attend?

No. ACA is for adults affected by a parent's drinking or by family dysfunction, but this is an open meeting, so friends, relatives and anyone curious about the fellowship can also come along.

Is there a charge or a booking process?

No, it is free and there is nothing to book; just arrive at The Wesley Centre for 7.30pm on Friday.

Is this meeting online or in person?

It is a face-to-face meeting, held in person at The Wesley Centre in Ringwood.
