new to everything

I have never done anything like this before and don't fully understand everything yet. I am a recovering addict and I am just looking for some support from people that might understand.

I made a huge life change during the last year of my life. ive completely turned my life around. i moved to a different state, got a good job, and got my daughter back in my life. ive even managed to almost completely quit doing drugs. The only problem is that i often find myself unhappy or depressed. ive also been alone without a partner in life for the last few years.
