About this meeting
Rugby Big Book Study meets late on Friday evenings, starting at 8.30pm at Hill Street Community Centre on Hill Street. The hour-long meeting works through the Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous's core text, reading a passage and then sharing experience of how it applies in real life. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is intended for people who have a desire to stop drinking rather than for observers; anyone who wants to stop is welcome, however recently they arrived at that decision. The community centre is wheelchair accessible. There is no charge to attend and no booking, so if Friday nights are a difficult time, this is a place to be among people who understand.
Common questions
What is the Big Book?
It is the basic text of Alcoholics Anonymous, first published in 1939. Big Book meetings read and discuss it a section at a time, relating it to daily life in recovery.
Can family or friends attend?
This is a closed meeting, so it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking. Supporters and professionals are welcome at Rugby's open meetings instead.
Is the venue accessible, and is the meeting free?
Yes to both. Hill Street Community Centre is wheelchair accessible, and the meeting is free with no booking, running from 8.30pm to 9.30pm on Fridays.
