About this meeting

On Sunday evenings at 7.30pm, the Hemel Hempstead Big Book group gathers at St Barnabus Church in Queens Square for ninety minutes of study from Alcoholics Anonymous, the book that gave the fellowship its name. The group notes it may be helpful to bring your own copy of the Big Book with you. This is a closed meeting, which in AA terms means it is intended for people who have a desire to stop drinking rather than for visitors, supporters or professionals; if that describes you, you will be welcome whether it is your first meeting or your five hundredth. The church has wheelchair access. It is free to attend, no booking is needed, and nobody will ask you to prove anything about yourself.
