About this meeting

On Wednesday evenings at 7pm, Tavistock Big Book Study meets at the Quaker Meeting House, 4 Canal Road, a few minutes from the town centre. The hour is spent reading and discussing the Big Book, the text from which Alcoholics Anonymous takes its name and its programme, so the meeting suits anyone who wants to dig into the roots of recovery rather than skim the surface. It is a closed meeting, which means it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking; that is the only requirement, and you can attend having never set foot in AA before. There is no charge and no booking. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this particular meeting.

Common questions

What does 'closed' mean for this meeting?

Closed means the meeting is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking, rather than for family, friends or observers. It is not about locked doors; any newcomer with that desire can simply walk in.

Do I need to bring anything or book a place?

No. The meeting is free and unbooked, and you do not need your own copy of the Big Book; readings are shared during the meeting.

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

Access has not been confirmed for this Wednesday meeting. The Tuesday Ladies meeting at the same Quaker Meeting House is listed as wheelchair accessible, as is Tavistock Living Sober at The Printworks on Sundays.
