6. Important Disclaimers

Not Medical or Professional Advice

Our products are spiritual and personal growth tools, not medical or therapeutic services. The content provided through our Services — including readings, reflections, and AI-generated responses — is intended for personal reflection and spiritual support only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, mental health treatment, addiction counseling, or therapy.

If you are in crisis, please contact a mental health professional, call your local emergency services, or reach out to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357.

AI Limitations

The Big Book Code uses artificial intelligence to help users explore text. AI responses may contain errors, omissions, or misinterpretations. Our AI features are study tools, not authoritative sources. Always refer to original texts and consult with a sponsor, counselor, or trusted member of your recovery community for guidance.

Affiliation Disclaimer

Morning Fire Publishing is an independent publisher. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc., or any other recovery organization. References to recovery programs and their literature are made for educational and study purposes.
