Hi Determined to Live,
Great start to a new life! Please keep posting and sharing your journey to sobriety... and I also echo the rest that the best thing you could do for yourself is start checking out AA meetings! Try more than one location until you find a group you feel comfortable with...
AA is a great place to meet people who are also living alcohol free, find support and learn how to best protect your sober life and get "tools' to insure you don't pick up again.
If you ask for a temporary sponsor you will have someone to help you through this very important early part of your new life and introduce you to the steps.
Good luck...
