A listener has an idea to create a "Sober Happy Hour” taking place on Zoom. What’s the best way to structure it, and is this a moneymaking project?

In some ways, it’s easier than ever to set something like this up, but it’s not necessarily easy to get traction. Even though it’s true that the past year has created more interest in online communities, a ton of online communities have sprung up. A lot of people are complaining about Zoom fatigue or online overwhelm—so if you’ve tried to start a live-streaming series or online meeting or similar and haven’t seen great results, you’re not alone.

Let’s talk about it!

"I’ve been sober for 2 years now, and one thing I've learned is that it's important to have a plan for social gatherings. For the Happy Hours at my office, I used to skip them or plan to touch base with a friend for accountability's sake before and after. You might think that COVID would make this easier, and in some ways it does, but lately my work has been doing online Happy Hours twice a week. It's a lot of fun, but most people are drinking. It made me think: maybe other people in recovery (all over the world) might be interested in a social hour that isn't an AA meeting but just a chance to hang out with people who understand that you can deal with workplace stress without drinking. How could I set this up to reach the most number of people?"
