Notes

▹This is a traditional Big Book study meeting focused on the 12 Steps and recovery from alcoholism. We read from the book Alcoholics Anonymous and hold a discussion based on the reading. The meeting lasts 1 hour and 15 minutes. ▹On the last Monday of each month, we begin with sobriety chip presentations celebrating various lengths of sobriety, followed by a speaker meeting. ▹Everyone is welcome — whether you’re new to A.A., exploring recovery, or supporting a loved one.
