PARTNERSHIPS

Sobertown Podcast is an independent organization and is not affiliated with any recovery organization or entity.

Any recommendations or mentions of recovery-related websites, books, organizations, applications or otherwise are strictly meant as a potential resource for anyone listening/reading who may want to know about it. There are many ways to approach alcohol recovery, and this website is meant to help those looking for a wide variety of sobriety resources and tools for alcohol-free living.

We have informal partnerships with other members of the sobriety community, including authors of recovery books, not-for-profits, non-profits, podcasts, and others. We sometimes share their recovery resources to better serve our audience. If you’re interested in collaborating with Sobertown, please reach out here.

AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE

We use affiliate partnerships to generate income on products that we would endorse regardless of any incentive or profit. These commissions tend to be very small, but it’s just another way we use to help keep Sobertown funded so that we can continue to provide free resources to our audience and members of the recovery community. One example of this is Amazon, and as Amazon Associate, Sobertown Podcast earns from qualifying purchases.

We appreciate your support in purchasing through our links.
