Anyone have any advice on how to get the most out of using sober recovery and where it fits in to my recovery plan?

For me it's essential. I've been here daily since April 2015. I don't post every day, but I do read. It's helps me feel connected to a community of people going through the same struggle as me.

And the best part, it's available 24/7. There's always someone here.

Welcome, gr8tful85.
I am a bipolar alcoholic, as well.

Regarding your recovery plan and SR:
I can only speak from my own experience.
I find that SR fills a gap when I cannot attend face-to-face meetings.
Lately, my lifestyle makes attendance at meetings difficult, so I am here more often.
To be honest, I find real-world meetings more powerful than cyber recovery sites.
But, for some of us, SoberRecovery is number one in our recovery plan.
Whatever works -- but, work for it.
You are worth it.
