Welcome to SR, dance ! This is a great site for support. I would explore all the forums, read as many threads on the Newcomer page (this one), and post as much about your experience as possible. We are all in the same boat and our aim is to help each other get and stay sober ! Also, a great help is to join the Class that you would belong to which is October. The thread is also on this page.
Best of luck and stay connected !
