About this meeting
The Big Book Meeting takes place on Monday evenings at 8.30pm at the Pastoral Centre on Monastery Avenue in Letterkenny, Co. Donegal. As the name suggests, the format centres on reading and discussing passages from Alcoholics Anonymous's core text, giving members a chance to explore the book's ideas in detail rather than simply sharing openly. It is a closed meeting, intended for people who have a desire to stop drinking, so it is not aimed at family members or professionals hoping to sit in. There is no charge for attending and no requirement to book a place in advance. The Pastoral Centre is also used by other Letterkenny groups through the week, so it is a familiar venue locally. Anyone wanting to try a Big Book style meeting is welcome to arrive shortly before 8.30pm on Monday.
