On Sunday evenings at 6pm, Eastbourne Big Book Study meets at Community Wise on Ocklynge Road for an hour and a half of reading and discussion based on Alcoholics Anonymous, the book the fellowship is named after and usually calls the Big Book. Working through the text line by line suits people who like structure, and hearing others relate it to their own lives helps it make sense. The meeting is open, so you are welcome whether you have a desire to stop drinking or are simply a relative, friend or professional wanting to learn. Community Wise is wheelchair accessible, attendance is free with no booking, and chits can be signed for court, probation or treatment evidence.
Do I need my own copy of the Big Book?
No, just come along. The meeting is built around reading and discussing AA's basic text together, and newcomers are welcome to simply listen.
Who can attend this meeting?
Anyone. It is an open meeting, so people with a desire to stop drinking, family, friends and professionals are all welcome, free of charge and without booking.
Is there wheelchair access, and can attendance be evidenced?
Yes, Community Wise is wheelchair accessible, and the meeting operates a chit system for court, probation or treatment attendance slips.
