Tipton Big Book meets on Tuesday evenings at 7.45pm at St Paul's Community Centre on Brick Kiln Street, spending an hour and a half in study of Alcoholics Anonymous, the Big Book that contains AA's programme of recovery. It is a closed meeting, which means it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking, or who suspect they might; observers are asked to choose an open meeting instead, but newcomers concerned about their own drinking are welcome. The group operates a chit system, so attendance slips can be signed for court, probation or treatment. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this meeting, so check ahead if you need it. It is free, with no booking.
