About this meeting

Bethnal Green Big Book Stories is an early-morning Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, held on Wednesdays at 7.30am at Keddlestone Walk Community Centre, 3 Hollybush Gardens, and lasting one hour. The group reads from the personal stories in the back of the Big Book, accounts by alcoholics of how they drank and how they recovered, which many people find the most relatable part of AA literature. It is an open meeting, so anyone may attend before work, including friends, family and professionals. The community centre is listed as wheelchair accessible. There is no charge and no booking, and the 8.30am finish leaves time to get on with the day.
