Meeting Notes
The Sober Sundays meeting is going to start meeting at St. Andrew's starting Sunday, 5/29/2022. We are meeting in the 2nd floor of St. Andrew's in the library, room 324.
Anyone with a desire to stop drinking is welcome to attend Sober Sundays Meeting. We suggest others (student observers, researchers, friends and family) attend open AA meetings.
We begin reading the Big Book starting at the Doctor's Opinion in August. Each week we pick up where we left off, read the next few pages, and then discuss the reading.
Although this meeting is frequently attended by a Men's halfway house, we at Sober Sundays would like to note that this meeting is a safe space for anyone with a desire to stop drinking to attend.
