About this meeting

Sober School is a Big Book study meeting held on Tuesdays at the Friends Meeting House, 49 The Green, Norton, in Stockton-on-Tees. It starts at 7pm and runs a little longer than most at an hour and a quarter, giving time to read a passage from Alcoholics Anonymous, the fellowship's core text, and then share on it in some depth. Study meetings like this suit people who want to get to grips with how the programme actually works, though you do not need to own the book or have read a page of it beforehand. The meeting is closed, reserved for anyone with a desire, or a suspected desire, to stop drinking. The venue has wheelchair access, and attendance is free with no booking.

Common questions

Do I need a copy of the Big Book?

No. The passage being studied is read aloud at the meeting, so you can follow everything without owning or having read the book.

Who can attend Sober School?

It is a closed AA meeting, meaning it is for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking, first-timers included.

Is it free, and is the venue accessible?

Yes. There is no charge and no booking, and the Friends Meeting House at 49 The Green is listed as wheelchair accessible.
