Leona, joining my quit date month here on SR has made a huge difference for me. It's a consistent group of people who are going through the same ups and downs. It holds me accountable... I know if I slip there's someone I need to tell, even if it's people I've never met in person. Also, I've been really surprised at how many of my feelings turn out to be tied to how far along I am! There's something really comforting about it. "Wait, you're having an existential crisis today, too? So signs indicate that the universe is NOT a horrible place, I'm just newly sober? Good to know."

Anyway, I really recommend it. Especially at the start there were a bunch of times when I probably would've had a drink except for the fact that I really did not want to have to get online and own up to it.
