Homegroup vs SoberDown

The meeting ends. Recovery doesn't. Life happens between meetings: the 4pm craving, the resentment you've been chewing on all week, the quiet weekend alone, the urge to pick up after good news. Homegroup is built for that stretch. It keeps you close to the people and the practices that keep you sober. It isn't a replacement for the rooms. It's what happens after you leave them. Stay close to your group. Every meeting gets a private space for check-ins, messages, and the small daily contact that holds a program together. Direct messages and group chats keep your sponsor and your closest people one tap away. And when you're in crisis, SOS reaches the people you know and trust with the press of a button. Groups are invite-based, so the people in the room are the people who show up. Your meeting never appears in a directory or a search. Everything your meeting needs in one place: - A phone list that's always current - A treasury linked to Venmo or PayPal for the seventh tradition - In-app video for hybrid and virtual meetings, with no Zoom links or passwords to maintain - Service positions, documents, and meeting info together Build your own toolkit. Homegroup ships with optional tools built by people in recovery who actually use them: a pulse check (three ratings, ten seconds), an inventory (a daily accounting), gratitude lists, journaling, a sobriety counter, a meditation timer, and a place to keep the sayings you hear in meetings and want to remember. Use the ones that help. Skip the rest. Request the ones we haven't built yet. Built for the traditions. Your group, your anonymity, your data. A first name, a nickname, whatever you use in the rooms — people in your meetings see what you choose to share with them. The only way someone outside your meetings can reach you is a personal connection code (something like david.t.123) that you give out yourself and can change whenever you want. Your journal, your inventory, and your check-ins stay private unless you share them. No ads. No data sold. Ever. Start in minutes. Get a code from a meeting you already attend, or add your own. You don't have to wait for someone else to set it up. Free for individual members, always; meetings up to 25 active members are free, larger meetings pay $20 a month. Built by people in recovery, for people in recovery. Fellowship agnostic. No streaks, no badges, no moralizing. Just the tools for the work you're already doing, and the people to do it with.
