Terms of Use

Last updated: November 2, 2026

Welcome

By using andrewlhicks.com, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

My content is mine

Everything here—writing, emails, images, the site itself—belongs to me, Andrew L. Hicks, unless stated otherwise. You’re welcome to share links and short quotes with credit, but please don’t republish my work wholesale without asking first.

Recovery content is peer support, not professional advice

JFRFN and everything else I write about recovery comes from one human in recovery talking to another. It is encouragement and honesty from a fellow traveler—not therapy, not medical advice, and not a substitute for a professional recovery program, sponsor, or counselor. If you’re in crisis, please reach out to a professional or a crisis line (in the US, call or text 988).

No guarantees

I share what’s worked for me and what I believe in. I can’t promise specific results for you—your mileage may vary, and that’s okay.

Purchases

JFRFN subscriptions are billed through my payment provider. You can cancel anytime in a couple of clicks—no guilt trip, no hard feelings. If something goes wrong with billing, contact me at andrew@andrewlhicks.com and I’ll make it right.

Keep it kind

If you interact with the community spaces connected to this site (comments, groups, meetings), treat people with basic decency. I reserve the right to remove anyone who’s harming the space.

Limitation of liability

I do my best to keep this site accurate and running, but I can’t guarantee it’ll be perfect or uninterrupted. To the extent the law allows, I’m not liable for damages arising from your use of the site.

Changes

I may update these terms from time to time; the current version will always be posted here with the date at the top.
