Good for you MJ for taking some of the suggestions here. I think one of the most important things in early sobriety is to be willing to trust other alcoholics with some significant time sober and follow their suggestions.
I have found in my short time of sobriety that finding and actually spending time with my sponsor away from the meetings has made a big difference in the quality of my sobriety already. We meet at least once a week for 1-2 hours. He is my teacher, and he is teaching me how to stay sober. I have done everything he has asked me to do without question. He only "requires" two things from me at all times...honesty and trust.
