Disclaimers

  1. Permission. Permission to reproduce the Big Book's Third Edition introduction has been applied for. The other material is not covered by copyright laws because AA forgot to renew the copyright.
  2. Trademarks. AA and Alcoholics Anonymous, and The Big Book are registered trademarks of Alcoholics Anonymous World Services. AA Grapevine and The Grapevine are registered trademarks of the A.A. Grapevine.
  3. We're not affiliated with GSO. This web site is not affiliated with the General Services Organization of Alcoholics Anonymous, or any particular AA group. It's just a couple of individuals who thought this kind of thing would be neat to have on-line.
  4. We're not affiliated with other groups either. The Big Book web material is not associated with any organization or group of people you may find represented elsewhere at recovery.org. Alcoholics Anonymous is really strict about refusing to associate itself with anyone or anything. That refusal is a good thing, and we agree with it. Nothing you see here should indicate any kind of associations or relationships. As an organization, AA takes no position on outside issues.
  5. Flat-line budget. There is no money involved here. AA does not pay for this web site and is not compensated for allowing the material to be on-line.
  6. Feel free to help! Your ideas and suggestions are welcome. The typical response to a good idea is this: "Great idea. Would you mind doing that?"
