About this meeting

Solihull Deep Dive Big Book Study meets on Friday evenings at 7.30pm at Kairos Café on Trinity Way in Shirley. As the name suggests, the group works closely through Alcoholics Anonymous, the Big Book that sets out AA's programme of recovery, and you are asked to bring your own copy. It runs for an hour and a half and is a closed meeting, which means it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking, or who think they might, rather than for observers. Any newcomer questioning their own drinking is welcome, and there is no charge and no booking. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue, so it is worth checking in advance if that matters to you.

Common questions

What does a closed Big Book study meeting mean?

Closed means the meeting is for people with a desire to stop drinking, rather than for family, friends or professionals. It does not mean the venue is shut; newcomers who are worried about their drinking are very welcome.

Do I need to bring anything?

Yes, bring your own copy of the Big Book (Alcoholics Anonymous), as the group studies the text together. The meeting itself is free and there is nothing to book.

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

Access has not been confirmed for Kairos Café, so if step-free access is important it is sensible to check before you travel.
