About this meeting
Guildford Big Book Recovery is held on Monday evenings at 7.45pm at the Friends Meeting House on Ward Street, Guildford, opposite the public library on North Street. As its name suggests, the meeting draws on readings from Alcoholics Anonymous, the fellowship's core text known as the Big Book. It is a closed meeting, for people who feel they have a desire to stop drinking rather than open to the general public. The venue is recorded as wheelchair accessible. There is no charge for attending and no need to book ahead, so newcomers and regulars alike can simply arrive at the meeting house for the 7.45pm start.
