Affiliate Disclosure
Some links on this site are advertisements and affiliate links. Here is what that means, and why it never changes which meetings and resources we list.
The short version
The AA Directory is a free meeting finder. Running and maintaining it costs money, and a small part of that is offset by advertising. Some links and images on the site are advertisements placed through affiliate programs. If you click one and then sign up or make a purchase, we may earn a commission. It does not cost you anything extra.
We are not responsible for advertisers
An advertisement is not a recommendation or an endorsement. Advertisers are separate companies, and we are not responsible for any advertiser, its products or services, the claims it makes, or anything it offers or recommends. Any dealings you have with an advertiser are solely between you and that company. Please review their terms and decide for yourself whether what they offer is right for you.
It never affects what we list
Meetings, intergroups, and recovery resources are listed on their merits and on the data we aggregate from official AA sources, never because anyone paid to appear and never removed because they did not. Advertising is kept separate from the directory itself and is clearly labeled as advertising.
How affiliate links are marked
Affiliate links carry the rel="sponsored nofollow" attribute, the standard signal to search engines that a link is a paid placement. Many are routed through a short on-site redirect so the destination stays clean and the click can be counted. The redirect simply forwards you to the advertiser. Ordinary, non-commercial links in our content are plain links and carry no such tag.
Amazon Associates
Some of the resource articles on this site link to A.A., N.A., and other recovery-related books on Amazon. Those links are part of the Amazon Associates program, which means The AA Directory may earn a small commission on purchases you make through them, at no extra cost to you. The books we link to are the ones already mentioned in the article's prose, in context. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
FTC compliance
This disclosure exists to comply with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements and affiliate relationships.
