welcome wehav! i'm in the March 2012 group. i post on her pretty much daily (and nightly). the blog feature is neat too. i just started using it. boy howdy did it come in useful when i thought i had "just a little something" to say about a particular topic. i found myself exploring something that had laid dormant in me for a long time. as far as getting involved here goes just read and post as you like. don't be shy. we get a lot of people who come here on their first day and simply don't know what to expect out of recovery. many of us post here when we simply need to hear other's take on a situation or to see if anyone else has experienced something we're going through. just read a few threads and you'll get the idea real quick. i'm so glad your mentor recommended the site! i tell everyone i meet in recovery about SR. i've found it to be such a valuable resource in my recovery. hope you find it to be of value to you as well.
