I am Catholic bogger and writer who chiefly posts on spirituality and addiction recovery at Sober Catholic. I have self-published devotionals for Catholics in recovery as well as "The Sober Catholic Way;"a basic handbook on how anyone can live a sober life drawn from nearly two decades of blogging at SoberCatholic. Another recent book, "Building a Civilization of Love: A Call to Creative Catholics" encourages creative Catholics to make use of their faith to help steer contemporary culture away from the cliff it is careening towards (or, to help build a new one after the plummet from the cliff.) I am married to my wife, Rose, and we live in western New York.
