About this meeting

Entire Abstinence Big Book Study meets in Chelmsley Wood, east Birmingham, every Wednesday at 6.30pm at the Fordbridge Centre on Nineacres Drive. The meeting lasts an hour and works through the Big Book, the core AA text, with the emphasis its name suggests: complete abstinence as the foundation of recovery. It is an open meeting, so anyone may attend, whether you have a desire to stop drinking or are a family member, friend or professional wanting to understand AA. The centre is listed as wheelchair accessible. Its early-evening start and one-hour length make it easy to fit in after work, and a closed discussion meeting follows at the same venue at 8pm for those who want to stay on.
