Are there any meetings in Austin that I can bring my 6 month old to? Not babysitting but I want to have her in the meeting with me. My husband alcoholic left last night. I know it's not likely to find one of these meetings today but I had to ask.
Where i live it is in the country and we do not
Have them or beginner meetings.
Hugs and good luck, there is contact information
On that web site also

In my experience, if you show up at any Al Anon meeting with your infant, and explain your situation, you would be warmly welcomed. You can always step outside if baby's crying is a distraction. If you are the one crying ... stay right where you are in the meeting, it's the right place to be. Also, the folks in that meeting should have a list of all other meetings in the area, and will know which ones are child-friendly.
I understand the feeling of having to find a meeting RIGHT NOW. I found a meeting the same day and it is still my home group.

I am so so sorry to hear that your husband walked out like that. Good on you for searching for a meeting. I am fairly new but what Freetime wrote sounds right and will be great. Good luck to you.

I think some meetings have child care services.
