Hi hippychicky!
I'm so glad that you were lead here to SR. Welcome. It's always baby steps when we first get sober, no matter our age or circumstances. I think it is such a relief when we know that we're not alone and that there are so many wonderful people who are ready to support us. It's just the beginning of a journey that has so many rewards. That's been my experience so far.
Take your time and stroll around the place. There are many good and interesting reads in the various stickies located at the top of the various headings.
Post as much as you want, as often as you want.
And a late Merry Christmas/holiday to you.
Donna
