The Heaton Chapel Big Book Study meets on Wednesday lunchtimes at 1pm at St Thomas's Church on Wellington Road North, Heaton Chapel, between Stockport and Levenshulme. As a Big Book study, each week centres on reading and discussing Alcoholics Anonymous, the basic text the fellowship is named after, which gives the meeting a steady structure that many people find grounding. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking, or who think they might; you do not need to own the book or to have read a word of it before coming. The meeting runs for ninety minutes and the church is wheelchair accessible.
Do I need to bring a copy of the Big Book?
No. The group reads and discusses AA's basic text together, and newcomers can simply follow along. There is nothing to prepare or bring.
Who can attend, and does it cost anything?
It is a closed AA meeting, so it is for anyone who has, or suspects they have, a desire to stop drinking. It is free, with no booking; arrive before 1pm on Wednesday.
Is St Thomas's accessible for wheelchair users?
Yes, the church is wheelchair accessible.
