Big Book study returns to Murrayfield on Thursday evenings at 6.30pm, when the Church of the Good Shepherd on Murrayfield Avenue hosts a closed AA meeting built around Alcoholics Anonymous, the fellowship's core text. The session lasts about an hour and gives members in this part of west Edinburgh a weekday evening option alongside the other meetings held at the same church. Attendance is for those with a desire to stop drinking, the standard closed meeting requirement, and newcomers meeting that description are welcome to join. Wheelchair access to this particular Thursday session has not been confirmed, although the venue does offer it for some of its other meetings.
Who can attend this Big Book meeting?
As a closed meeting, attendance is limited to those with a desire to stop drinking, which is AA's only membership requirement. It is not restricted by age, background or how long someone has been sober, and newcomers are actively encouraged to come along.
Is it free, and should I book beforehand?
No, it is completely free and there is no need to book or register in advance. Simply arrive for the start time and take a seat; AA meetings run on voluntary donations towards room hire and literature, but nobody is asked to pay to attend.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
This has not been confirmed for this particular session, so it is worth checking directly with the group if step-free access is needed.
