I would highly suggest getting a sponsor. Find someone who has long term sobriety, has worked the steps, is happy with their life and who they are, and has the time for you.

Early sobriety is a rocky road and to have a guide will be a huge help because there will come a time in the not too distant future where alcohol will seam like a solution again
