About this meeting
Chelsea BYOBB, short for Bring Your Own Big Book, meets every Wednesday at 7pm in the downstairs room at The Hut, 12 Alpha Place off Flood Street. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, intended for those with a desire to stop drinking rather than the wider public. As the name implies, members are encouraged to bring their own copy of the Big Book, AA's core text, and the session works through passages together with members relating the readings to their own experience of recovery. Wheelchair access to the downstairs room has not been confirmed, so it is worth asking ahead if step-free access is important to you.
Common questions
Do I need my own copy of the Big Book to attend
It helps, as the name Bring Your Own Big Book suggests, but no one will be turned away without one. Copies are often available to borrow or buy on the night.
Who can attend this meeting
It is a closed AA meeting, for people with a desire to stop drinking, rather than open to family, friends or professionals.
Is it free, and is the downstairs room accessible
Yes, it is free with no booking required. Wheelchair access to the downstairs room at The Hut has not been confirmed, so please enquire in advance if this affects you.
