Welcome, AC. There are lots of actions you can take to help you on the recovery journey. Firstly- you are not alone. I felt so alone when my journey really began, and SR has been an anchor to my recovery. I have checked in daily for nearly 4years, bar a few times for power outages, etc. I joined the class of March '16 thread and check/share/support on it a lot. There is a Class of Feb 2020 group- why not join? It is in the Newcomer's forum.
Meetings for face to face contact is great- no necessarily to share- but to listen to others who have experiences that remind us we are not alone.
Regular checkups with my GP (and being honest- not just replying on what I think I should say) is a must for me- especially for my depression.
A psychologist for sorting out the crap in my head- which is separate to sobriety, but sobriety means I can then address all the stuff that contributed to my boozing.
Journaling, art, exercise, lots of water, rest, all are good too.

Support to you.
