About this meeting
Jay Walkers Big Book Study meets every Wednesday at 7.30pm at the Friends Meeting House on Skinnergate in Darlington, running for about an hour. For most of the month this is a closed Cocaine Anonymous meeting, meaning it is for people with a desire to stop using cocaine and other mind-altering substances rather than being open to the general public. On the third week of each month, however, the meeting opens up and anyone, including family, friends and professionals, is welcome to attend. Formats vary from week to week and include experience, strength and hope sharing, topic discussion and Big Book study, giving newcomers a chance to see how the programme is worked in practice. There is no cost to attend and no need to book.
