This fellowship supports relatives and friends affected by someone else’s drinking. It is separate from AA and is not designed for the person with the drinking problem. There is no cost to attend, confidentiality is respected, and first-time attendees are welcome. In a supportive setting, participants share personal stories and practical insights that can reduce isolation, deepen understanding of how alcoholism impacts families and loved ones, and encourage healthier ways to respond. Support is available whether the drinker in your life is still using, sober, in recovery, unwilling to seek help, or no longer present. Because this is an open format, family and friends may attend, and observers are also welcome, including professionals, healthcare workers, students, reporters, and others interested in learning about the effects of alcohol on loved ones. The meeting space is accessible. S.O.S. Al-Anon Family Group, AFG #2564, is part of North Florida District 3.
