About this meeting

Every Monday at 6pm, the Seaham Multi-Group Big Book Study gathers at St John's Church on Blandford Place for an hour and a half of structured reading and discussion. As a Big Book study, the meeting works through Alcoholics Anonymous's core text, which makes it a good place to understand how the programme actually works, whether you are brand new or have been sober for years. It is an open meeting, so family, friends and anyone curious about AA are welcome alongside members. The church is wheelchair accessible, and the group runs a chit system, signing attendance slips for court, probation or treatment purposes. It is free, there is no booking, and listening without speaking is always fine.

Common questions

What is a Big Book study meeting?

The Big Book is Alcoholics Anonymous's basic text. At this meeting members read from it and discuss how it applies to their own recovery, which makes it a practical way to learn how the AA programme works.

Can family members or professionals attend?

Yes. This is an open meeting, so anyone may attend, including family, friends and professionals. It is free and no booking is needed.

Can I get attendance signed for court or a treatment programme?

Yes. The group operates a chit system and can sign slips confirming attendance for court, probation or treatment. St John's Church is also wheelchair accessible.
