Welcome to SR, ChangeIsComing; you have found a very supportive, understanding and encouraging place.
Take a look around the site; giving special to the 'stickies' at the top of the Newcomers and Newcomers Daily support Forums; they are packed with so much wisdom and useful information.
You may want to consider joining an SR 'Class' where you can interact with members at the same stage of their recovery. I'll post a link in a moment.
