About this meeting
Hanley Swan Big Red Book Meeting keeps the name of the group it began as but now runs online every Tuesday at 6.30pm, UK and Ireland time. It works through the Big Red Book, the core text of Adult Children of Alcoholics, giving members a structured way to explore how growing up with a parent's drinking or other family dysfunction has shaped their adult lives. Passages are typically read and discussed together rather than left for members to prepare in advance. It is an open meeting, so friends, family members and professionals with an interest in the fellowship are welcome to listen in alongside those working through the text.
