Pype Hayes Big Book Study meets on Friday nights at 8pm at Pype Hayes United Reformed Church on Chester Road, opposite Pype Hayes Park in Birmingham. The hour is spent with the Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous's foundational text, reading and discussing how its programme of recovery applies day to day. It is an open meeting, so alongside members you might find family, friends, students or professionals, all of whom are welcome. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this meeting, so check locally if you need it. There is no charge and nothing to arrange in advance. The same church hosts a general Pype Hayes meeting on Monday evenings at 6pm, giving two options in the week.
What happens at a Big Book study?
The group reads from the Big Book, AA's basic text, and members share on how the reading applies to their own recovery. It is a good way to learn how the programme works.
Do I need to be an alcoholic to attend?
No. This is an open meeting, so anyone may attend, including family, friends and professionals. The only requirement for AA membership itself is a desire to stop drinking.
Is it free, and is there wheelchair access?
It is free with no booking. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this meeting, so it is worth checking locally if step-free entry matters to you.
