The Big Book Comes Alive is a Wednesday evening Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Alderley Edge, held in the St Pius Parish Room on Stamford Road from 7pm and running for an hour and a half. As the name suggests, the group works with AA's core text, the Big Book, relating what is on the page to members' everyday experience of staying sober. It is an open meeting, so you are welcome whether you are concerned about your own drinking or supporting a partner, friend or family member; professionals and anyone curious about how AA works may also sit in. The Parish Room is wheelchair accessible, and there is nothing to book or pay. Arriving a few minutes early gives you time to find a seat and say hello.
Can I attend if I'm not an alcoholic?
Yes. This is an open AA meeting, so family members, friends, professionals and anyone interested in how Alcoholics Anonymous works are welcome alongside people who want to stop drinking.
How much does it cost and do I need to book?
Nothing, and no. AA meetings are free and there is no booking system; you simply turn up. Groups are self-supporting through voluntary contributions, but newcomers are never expected to give anything.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Yes. The St Pius Parish Room on Stamford Road, SK9 7NS, is listed as wheelchair accessible.
