Resources

The internet changes constantly — new tools emerge, organizations evolve, and what was accurate last year may not be today. As a result, TIAA Forum maintains this collection of AA technology resources on a best-effort basis, reviewing and updating links and descriptions as our volunteer team becomes aware of changes. If you find a broken link or out-of-date information, please use the Contact Us page to let us know. Our goal is to point you toward useful, trustworthy resources — not to endorse any particular tool, organization, or approach to recovery. We welcome corrections and suggestions from members.

AA Technology Resources

Specifically,the following AA technology resources cover the forum itself, AA-approved materials from AAWS, a glossary of relevant terms, technical information about how this site is built, and a list of related organizations working at the intersection of technology and AA service.

This Forum→

An article giving more information about this site, our forum and community.

A.A. Resources→

AA World Services and Grapevine officially approve and support these resources and projects.

A.A. Glossary→

Terms, acronyms, resources and definitions related to service in A.A. technology resources as applied to recovery and service.

Colophon→

How tiaa-forum.org is built and maintained — the technology, history, and organization behind our community.

Other Organizations→

Many organizations in our fellowship and in AA service actively cooperate in accomplishing AA’s primary purpose. We have compiled a list of organizations our members work with. We are not affiliated with any of them.

Volunteers maintain this site and may not catch every change immediately. Nevertheless, we add new resources as the community identifies them. Additionally, some listed resources may link to external sites — therefore we recommend verifying any information independently. If you would like to suggest an addition or correction, please contact us via our Contact Us page.

Instructions for Completing this Form

Name:

The name you use here is not verified and only used to control for spam and bot submissions. It will not be tied to your account. You can create and edit a profile disclosing the account name and information you wish to expose to the community (not publicly visible outside the forum) when and after you join.

Email:

Email where the invitation to join will be sent. This will also become a secondary way of logging in or recovering your password. We recommend a personal email address (e.g. your_name@example.com) instead of a “positional” email address (e.g. webmaster@your_intergroup.org) unless you intend for you membership to rotate with the person holding the position in the future. This email address can be changed after you join if you wish to change it by editing your profile information.

Affirmation:

By the group conscience of the members, this forum is only open to members of AA and those non-members of AA supporting AA services (e.g. Intergroup offices, AA service structure, etc.).

Topic Interests:

If you are interested in conversations in more than one  technical topic area (e.g. web sites, answering services, virtual meetings, etc.) or have a general curiosity about AA discussions in general (e.g. topics above and beyond technology like committees and group dynamics), you would probably want to select the default “General” option.

If your primary interest is in Archives only, you probably want to select the “Archives” option. Note that with either option, you will still have access to all topics on the forum but with the “Archives” option, your “home screen” will automatically place you in the “Archives” category where most of those conversations happen.
