About this meeting

Thurston's Al-Anon Family Group meets on Saturday mornings at 10.30am, on a fortnightly basis, at The Rock, St Peter's Church, on Church Road in Thurston, near Bury St Edmunds. Al-Anon exists for anyone whose life is or has been affected by someone else's drinking, whether that is a partner, a parent, an adult child or a friend, and that person does not need to attend with you. It is an open meeting, so you are welcome even if you are new to Al-Anon or still deciding whether it is right for you. The meeting lasts about an hour, finishing at around 11.30am, and because it runs every other Saturday rather than weekly, it is worth checking the date before your first visit.

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 you, and many members attend on their own.

Is there a cost to attend, or do I need to book?

No, Al-Anon meetings are free and there is no need to book. Just arrive at 10.30am and take a seat.

Does this meeting happen every Saturday?

No, it runs fortnightly rather than every week, so check the date falls on the right Saturday before setting off.
