Affiliate Links

I am a member of the Amazon affiliate partnership program. If I link to any product on Amazon, you should assume that it is an affiliate product and that I might get paid a small commission when you make a purchase. That is how I hope to pay for my research, writing time, hosting services and website design/maintenance for SoberOakland.com.

I only link to items for purchase on Amazon if I know them, have used them or read them, or they are on my “want to use/read” list. Should I find any recommendation to be subpar, I will remove the corresponding post/link, and I might mention this on the website.

Disclaimer:

I am a grateful person in recovery, in Oakland, California. I am not a doctor, scientist, clergy person, spiritual adviser, or the like — I’m just a regular person who is finding out that not only is life worth living, but that I enjoy living it and living it sober. For going on 3 unbelievable years!

This site is my little labor of love — and hopefully it helps someone out, somewheres. All the info on this site has been helpful to me, in one way or another, and I want to pass it on! I’ll be adding more content as we go along, but there’s a bunch of good links & info here already 🙂

I will be eternally grateful if anything I’ve said or shown on this website strikes a chord or is helpful to you 🙂

I am an alcoholic, in Oakland, California. Wherever possible, I try to include links and information that is substance-agnostic and available nationally or internationally. Drugs other than alcohol are a big part of the story for many people, and there are communities, meetings and free programs and literature for everyone.

SoberOakland is a small, personal site, and as such will include or link to things that are local to me and/or have a subjective value. I can’t include everything or please everyone! (I’m just one person) 🙂
