Welcome Sam.
Going through a loss like that and maintaining your sobriety is huge. Congratulations.
It's hard to be gay and single in recovery, as so much of the gay social scene revolves around bars...although that seems to be changing.
Hopefully you can find some good GLTBA meetings in DFW. They were very helpful to me in my early sobriety.
Good to get out and around people. Isolation was always my biggest threat as far as relapsing, and I think many of us can say the same.
Keep checking in.
