Rathcoole AA meets on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm in Rathcoole Community Centre, in the Dublin 24 area of Co. Dublin. The Wednesday session follows a Big Book format, working through Alcoholics Anonymous's core text together. Membership is restricted to those with a desire to stop drinking, in line with AA's usual closed-meeting practice, but a newcomer can attend for the first time without needing to have been to a meeting before. There is no cost and no booking required, so anyone can simply arrive at the community centre. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue, so anyone with mobility needs may wish to ask in advance. Rathcoole is a village on the western side of the city.
What is a Big Book meeting
It means the group reads from and discusses Alcoholics Anonymous's core text, the Big Book, rather than sharing freely on an open theme.
Can a newcomer attend even though it is members-only
Yes, the meeting is kept for people with a desire to stop drinking, and a first-time attender fits that description without needing prior contact.
Is Rathcoole Community Centre wheelchair accessible
Access has not been confirmed, so it would be worth checking with the group beforehand if this is important to you.
