About this meeting

This Al-Anon Family Groups meeting takes place in Upton, Yorkshire every Saturday at 2pm, at Upton Methodist Church, High Street. Al-Anon is built around the experience of living with, or having lived with, someone else's drinking, and its members are partners, parents, grown-up children, other relatives and close friends rather than drinkers themselves. This particular meeting is open, so newcomers, occasional visitors and regulars are all welcome in the same room. It generally runs for around an hour and a half. No booking or payment is required; newcomers usually find it easiest to arrive a little before the 2pm start.

Common questions

Who is Al-Anon actually for?

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.

Do I have to bring the person whose drinking has affected me?

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?

Al-Anon meetings are always free to attend, and there is no booking system, so turning up on Saturday at 2pm is all that is needed. The meeting lasts around an hour and a half.
