Al-Anon Family Groups offer free, confidential support for anyone affected by a loved one's drinking in Collingham. Al-Anon operates on the same 12-step principles as Alcoholics Anonymous but is specifically designed for families, partners, parents, and friends — not the person with the alcohol problem themselves. Meetings are free and no referral is needed.
Al-Anon meetings follow a 12-step format. Members share their experiences of living with or caring for someone with an alcohol problem — and the strategies they have found helpful. There is no therapy or advice-giving — meetings operate on the principle that members share their own experience, and attendees take what they find useful. Meetings are confidential, non-judgmental, and free. You do not need to bring the person who drinks.
