About this meeting

Al-Anon Family Groups meets in Swinford, Co. Mayo on Thursdays at 7.30pm, at Swinford Library, Station Road, Carrowbed. It is a fellowship for relatives and friends of people who drink, not for the person with the drinking, and covers partners, parents, adult children and close friends alike. 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. There is no fee involved and no booking required, so arriving a few minutes before 7.30pm is all it takes.

Common questions

Can anyone attend this meeting?

It is for family members and friends affected by another person's drinking, rather than for the drinker. That covers partners, parents, grown-up children and close friends. Because this is an open meeting, anyone with a connection to the situation can come along, including on a first visit.

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.

Do I need to book in advance, and does it cost anything?

There is no charge and no need to book. Just come along on Thursday for the 7.30pm start; you can simply take a seat when you arrive. The meeting lasts around an hour.
