Chorley St Gregory Big Book meets every Saturday at 7.30pm at St Gregory's Church on Weld Bank Lane, south Chorley. As the name declares, this is a Big Book meeting: each week the group reads from Alcoholics Anonymous — the 1939 text the fellowship is named after — and members share on how its words map onto their own drinking and recovery. It is a closed meeting for people with a desire to stop drinking, it runs for one hour, and the church is wheelchair accessible. For anyone who wants to understand the programme itself, not just hear stories, a Big Book study is where AA's engine is on display.
What is the Big Book?
'Alcoholics Anonymous', first published in 1939 — the book the fellowship is named after. It lays out the twelve-step programme. This meeting reads and discusses it each week.
Do I need my own copy?
No — the group has copies to share, and readings are aloud. If you stick around, you will want your own eventually.
Who can attend, and is it accessible?
It is a closed meeting, for anyone who wants to stop drinking. St Gregory's Church on Weld Bank Lane is wheelchair accessible.
