As a companion to the Sober Catholic Page on Facebook, I am starting a similar thing on MeWe. MeWe is probably the largest and best known of the ‘alternative to Facebook’ social networks out there. I’ve been a member since early 2015 and am fairly active.
The Sober Catholic Blog Discussion Group is where readers of SoberCatholic.com can come together and discuss posts. Discussion will initially just center around posts, but hopefully within that framework people can expand and talk about the Matt Talbot Way of Sobriety and anything related to alcoholism and addiction recovery from a Catholic perspective.

Although it is a Group, it will at first behave like a Brand Page. MeWe charges for Brand Pages and I’m not interested in paying $1.99 a month. Call me cheap, but Facebook and LinkedIn don’t charge. Of course, they advertise and harvest your data, and MeWe doesn’t. So, maybe someday I’ll fork over the loot, but not right now. At the moment, a Group will suffice, especially since the settings can be manipulated to make it act like a Page; that is, with posts and shares by the owner, and members just commenting on things. I may open up discussion to things as a whole, where people can create posts in the Group, but for now, I’m not yet willing to do that.
Thank you, and I hope to see you around! Click on this to connect with me there: Contact me on MeWe!
I have a new book! "The Sober Catholic Way" is a handbook on how anyone can live a sober life, drawn from over 17 years of SoberCatholic posts! It's out now on "Amazon," "Apple Books," "B&N" and and others!"!My two other books are still available! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
