Dorchester Big Book meets at midday on Tuesdays in the Cerne Abbas Room at the United Reformed Church on Charles Street. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, so it is for AA members, people with a desire to stop drinking, rather than an open meeting for the general public. The group works through the Big Book itself, AA's core text, giving members a chance to look closely at the material that underpins the programme. Attendance chits are available for anyone needing a slip signed for court, probation or a treatment provider. Wheelchair access to the Cerne Abbas Room has not been confirmed, so it is worth checking ahead if this affects you.
