About this meeting
The Women's Big Red Book Meeting takes place online every Tuesday at 7pm, UK and Ireland time, working steadily through the Big Red Book, the core text of Adult Children of Alcoholics, from a woman's perspective. Passages are usually read aloud and discussed, giving structure to what can otherwise be a difficult subject: how growing up with a parent's drinking or other family dysfunction continues to affect adult life. It is an open meeting, so women new to the fellowship are welcome alongside those further into their recovery, and friends or professionals with an interest may also listen in. There is no need to have read the book in advance.
Common questions
Do I need to bring a copy of the Big Red Book?
No. The meeting reads and discusses sections together, so newcomers can join without preparation.
Is this meeting only for women?
It is run as a women's meeting, though as an open ACA meeting others with an interest in the fellowship may also listen in.
Is there a cost to attend?
No, it is free with no booking. Joining details are on ACA's own meeting page.
