Welcome 

Those of us managing this site believe it has two primary purposes.  First, we have many audio files of people sharing on the steps.  (These audio files are very large - usually 20-25 MB per file.  They take a while to download. If you click on listen, it may be 5 minutes before the file starts playing.  You can monitor the progress of the download by actually downloading the file.  With  a PC you right click on the file, select "save as".  A window will let you know how fast it is downloading the file.)

Are you a long time listener?  If so, the newest files are at the end of the list.

The second key purpose of the site is to have an up-to-date meeting list of Hyannis Style BBSS meetings.  We have the meetings listed by day of the week and by state.

This site is devoted to The Hyannis Style BBSS Meeting Format. 

In the mid 1980s, five members of Alcoholics Anonymous started the first “Big Book Step Study” (men’s) group in Hyannis, MA, on Cape Cod.*  Big Book Step Study is both a particular style of A.A. meeting as well as a philosophy about working A.A.’s Twelve Steps. This document, continued on the "About BBSS" tab, written by a longtime BBSS member, describes the qualifications and responsibilities of the chairperson and speaker, who is qualified to share, and details regarding the meeting format. Big Book Step Study meetings are usually 90 minutes long.

*The Hyannis Men’s BBSS Group still meets every week.

This site is devoted to the Hyannis Style meeting format for Big Book Step Study meetings.

“Sobriety—the freedom from alcohol—through the teaching and practicing of the twelve steps is the sole purpose of an AA group.”
