About this meeting
Swansea Big Book meets on Friday evenings at half past six at St Phillips Community Centre on Clarence Terrace, running for an hour. The meeting is built around reading and discussing Alcoholics Anonymous's core text, giving people in Swansea a focused way to end the working week among others who share a desire to stop drinking. As a closed meeting, it is kept for those pursuing their own recovery rather than open to family, friends or professionals wishing to observe, which suits the close, text-led nature of the discussion. The community centre is wheelchair accessible, so mobility should not be a barrier to attending. There is no cost involved and nothing to book beforehand, you simply arrive shortly before half past six and take a seat among a regular Friday group.
