Getting there
About this meeting
Livesey By The Book meets every Tuesday at 7.30pm at Livesey Childrens Centre on Andrew Close in Blackburn. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, held for those with a desire to stop drinking rather than the wider public, and as the name suggests works through AA literature in a structured, page-by-page way rather than free discussion. Being based at a children's centre rather than a church hall makes this a slightly different setting from many other Blackburn meetings, though the format and closed status remain standard AA practice. Wheelchair access at the centre has not been confirmed, so it would be sensible to check ahead if this matters to you.
