About this meeting
Every Friday at 6.30pm, Al-Anon Family Groups meets in Sheldon as Sheldon Friday. It's aimed at people whose lives have been shaped by someone else's drinking, including spouses, parents, grown-up children and friends. It meets for an hour and a half at the St Giles Old School Room at 149 Church Road, an open meeting where you don't need to bring anyone else along. This meeting is one of several Al-Anon meetings held around Birmingham. It costs nothing to attend and there's no booking required, so you're free to just show up.
Common questions
Who comes along to Al-Anon in Sheldon?
Partners, parents, adult children, friends and others whose lives have been touched by someone else's drinking all come along.
Do I have to bring the person who drinks?
No. The meeting is for you, in your own right, and many people attend on their own without ever bringing the person who drinks.
Is booking required, and is there a fee?
Attendance is free and unbooked, so you can walk in on the day; arriving a few minutes early helps.
