Every Monday at 7.30pm, the Smethwick Big Book Study Meeting brings members together at the Dorothy Parkes Centre on Church Road for around an hour of structured reading and discussion. This is a closed Cocaine Anonymous meeting, held for people who have a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances rather than being open to the public, and its Big Book focus gives it a steady, text-led format that repeats week on week. The centre setting is straightforward and functional, suited to a working meeting rather than a social occasion. Wheelchair access at the Dorothy Parkes Centre has not been confirmed, so it would be sensible to check with the group ahead of a first visit. There is no cost involved and no need to book.
