This is something outside my experience, and I am a member of both groups, attend meetings of both groups at the same location on different days.

We have my Alanon group members attend the open AA meting at the end of the month, and folks socialize on the outside, AA with Alanon and vice versa, but that's about the limit I've ever seen.

Wonder how a non-alcoholic-Alanon member or not-could share their esh with an alcoholic?

A last thought, a non-alcoholic Alanon member has absolutely no business attending a closed meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous.
