Welcome to the boards real!
Well the message boards are very active and you might want to take a look at the AA and alcoholism boards and see if any of the discussions interest you.
They are just getting back into scheduled chats. You can find the times in the announcement that is posted at the top of each forum. I am not sure how busy the chats are yet. Also you can also make a post or PM someone and ask them if they are available to chat.
Hope this answered your question
Take care.
