Colchester Big Book Discussion meets on Thursday evenings at 7pm at the Mount Zion Centre, 328A Ipswich Road, for an hour. The group takes Alcoholics Anonymous, the fellowship's founding text, and opens it up for discussion, reading a passage and letting members connect it to their own drinking and recovery. It is an open meeting, so anyone may attend: people who want to stop drinking, family and friends, and professionals wanting to see AA at first hand. The centre is wheelchair accessible. No money changes hands and no booking exists; you arrive, you sit down, and if it is your first meeting you can leave the talking entirely to others.
Do I need to know the Big Book to join in?
No. Passages are read aloud and discussed, so no prior knowledge is needed, and newcomers are welcome to just listen.
Can family or professionals attend?
Yes. This is an open AA meeting, welcoming family, friends and professionals alongside people with a desire to stop drinking.
Is the Mount Zion Centre accessible?
Yes, the venue at 328A Ipswich Road is wheelchair accessible. The meeting is free with no booking.
