One hour\, no experience required. We open with wins\, we work through what is stuck\, and nobody gets shamed for asking what a prompt is. Offered twice so you can catch whichever time fits your week. \nWHAT IT IS\nClaude Anonymous is the meeting for BACKSTAGE members who know AI is not going away\, are tired of pretending they have it figured out\, and would like to learn it from someone who is not going to make them feel stupid. One hour. Genuinely useful. \nHere is how the hour runs: \n\nCheck in. What did you try this week? What worked? What blew up spectacularly?\nThe topic. One tool\, one prompt technique\, or one workflow\, explained in plain English and demoed live.\nOpen floor. You bring the problem. We solve it together\, out loud\, on screen.\nTakeaway. You leave with one thing you can actually use that same day.\n\nWe cover the real stuff. Writing that still sounds like you. Getting through your inbox before it gets through you. Building a resume\, a pitch\, a business plan\, a newsletter\, a side hustle. Organizing the chaos. Making the tools work for the life you are actually living. \nNo coding. No jargon. No tech-bro energy. Just a room full of curious people figuring it out together\, which is more or less how we got sober too. \nWho this is for: Absolute beginners. Skeptics. People who opened ChatGPT once\, typed “hello\,” and closed the tab. People already using AI who want to get sharper. \nWhat to bring: A real task you are avoiding. That is it. \n\nMondays\, 12:00 to 1:00 PM Pacific. Every week.\nThursdays\, 2:00 to 3:00 PM Pacific. Every other week.\n\nSame meeting\, same format\, different time. Come to one\, come to both\, come when you can. Included with your BACKSTAGE membership\, and every session lands in the Replay Vault. \nNot a BACKSTAGE member yet? $19/mo or $190/year (*includes two free months) JOIN HERE \nLove what you read? #sharesobriety\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n Tumblr\n \n Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n Reddit URL:https://thesobercurator.com/event/claude-anonymous-weekly-monday-ai-meeting-for-sober-humans-who-are-sick-of-feeling-behind-2/2026-08-24/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:BACKSTAGE Members Only Events,Virtual Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://thesobercurator.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Can_you_zoom_out_so_I_have_mor_Nano_Banana_2_47307-scaled.avif ORGANIZER;CN="BACKSTAGE with The Sober Curator - Members Only Culture Club":MAILTO:thesobercurator@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260825T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260825T140000 DTSTAMP:20260805T230639Z CREATED:20260805T185155Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260805T230639Z UID:10004824-1787662800-1787666400@thesobercurator.com SUMMARY:The Story Session with Amy Liz Harrison | Virtual Writers Group DESCRIPTION:The Story Session with Amy Liz Harrison | Virtual Writers GroupA free bi-weekly writing class\, exclusively for BACKSTAGE members and Amy’s email list\nYou’ve said it at least once: “I should write a book about this.” Then you closed the tab and folded laundry instead. \nAmy Liz Harrison gets it.

The same patterns that show up around alcohol (avoidance\, control\, shame spirals\, bargaining) show up around spending and earning. The same recovery principles that work on alcohol work on money. Honesty\, community\, accountability and structure produce more change than any spreadsheet or app. \nNew Sober Curator Contributor Greg Downs\, Founder of CP Financial Coaching\, sits down with Alysse Bryson\, Founder of The Sober Curator\, to talk finances in sobriety. \nThis event is FREE to BACKSTAGE Members.

One hour\, no experience required. We open with wins\, we work through what is stuck\, and nobody gets shamed for asking what a prompt is. Offered twice so you can catch whichever time fits your week. \nWHAT IT IS\nClaude Anonymous is the meeting for BACKSTAGE members who know AI is not going away\, are tired of pretending they have it figured out\, and would like to learn it from someone who is not going to make them feel stupid. One hour. Genuinely useful. \nHere is how the hour runs: \n\nCheck in. What did you try this week? What worked? What blew up spectacularly?\nThe topic. One tool\, one prompt technique\, or one workflow\, explained in plain English and demoed live.\nOpen floor. You bring the problem. We solve it together\, out loud\, on screen.\nTakeaway. You leave with one thing you can actually use that same day.\n\nWe cover the real stuff. Writing that still sounds like you. Getting through your inbox before it gets through you. Building a resume\, a pitch\, a business plan\, a newsletter\, a side hustle. Organizing the chaos. Making the tools work for the life you are actually living. \nNo coding. No jargon. No tech-bro energy. Just a room full of curious people figuring it out together\, which is more or less how we got sober too. \nWho this is for: Absolute beginners. Skeptics. People who opened ChatGPT once\, typed “hello\,” and closed the tab. People already using AI who want to get sharper. \nWhat to bring: A real task you are avoiding. That is it. \n\nMondays\, 12:00 to 1:00 PM Pacific. Every week.\nThursdays\, 2:00 to 3:00 PM Pacific. Every other week.\n\nSame meeting\, same format\, different time. Come to one\, come to both\, come when you can. Included with your BACKSTAGE membership\, and every session lands in the Replay Vault. \nBACKSTAGE members are emailed one-hour prior to event starting and have access to the Zoom link BACKSTAGE. \nNot a BACKSTAGE member yet? $19/mo or $190/year (*includes two free months) JOIN HERE \nLove what you read? #sharesobriety\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n Tumblr\n \n Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n Reddit URL:https://thesobercurator.com/event/claude-anonymous-the-bi-weekly-thursday-ai-meeting-for-sober-humans-who-are-sick-of-feeling-behind/2026-09-03/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:BACKSTAGE Members Only Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://thesobercurator.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Let-Go-and-Let-Claude.avif ORGANIZER;CN="BACKSTAGE with The Sober Curator - Members Only Culture Club":MAILTO:thesobercurator@gmail.com END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
