Sober Profits or Sober Program
I am not singling anyone for potentially making money by blogging the idea has crossed my mind like many other bloggers. I really don't know the answer to this, because Bill and Bob are dead. Having spoke with many people in the program the idea of advertising on blog that mentions AA seems to be a fine line. Majority of the people seem to be ok with the idea, however the hardcore crowd aren't so understanding.

Do those programs mention or use the AA name?
There are countless commercial businesses that are in the business of drinking prevention. Few have anything to do with recovery.
They may claim success if someone goes 1 day without a drink. Of course, they charge $$$$ for that one day.
Bill did make royalites from his books.
It's the reason why I don't run adSense on my blog anymore - ads advertising quick fixes and feeding on other bods' misery. Awful
That's my 2c.
My last post on my blog I had a link to the iTunes store for a free PODCAST to the Joe and Charlie book study. Sometimes I place a link to the recovery home I came from, Casa.
I think it lies in the intention. It is not my intention to make any money from this or help the entities make money. My intention is to help others get sources of AA recovery.
As dAAve said many recovery homes cost $$$ and don't use the 12 steps or even speak about the Big Book. I was blessed to find Casa and be introduced to AA, the 12 steps and my God of my understanding.
I have never thought about all of this up until today. Good post, thanks for putting it out there.
