Christchurch Big Book

Christchurch Big Book meets on Monday evenings at Portfield Community Hall on Portfield Road, beginning at 7.45pm and lasting an hour and a quarter. As a Big Book meeting, the format revolves around Alcoholics Anonymous' central text, reading and discussing how its programme applies to everyday sobriety, which many people find gives real structure to their recovery. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is kept for those who have a desire to stop drinking; no invitation, referral or prior contact is needed, and first-timers can simply walk in. Wheelchair access at the hall has not been confirmed, so check locally if this is important for you. Attendance costs nothing and there is no booking of any kind.
