Getting there
About this meeting
Fenham Library, Big Red Book Study keeps the name of the venue where the group first met, though it now runs online every Thursday at 6pm, UK and Ireland time, and is joined from anywhere. Members work through the Big Red Book, the core text of Adult Children of Alcoholics, giving structure to how the fellowship explores growing up with a parent's drinking or other family dysfunction and its lasting effects on adult life. Passages are typically read and discussed together within the session. It is an open meeting, so friends, family members and professionals interested in the fellowship are also welcome to listen in alongside those working through the text.
