Hey, kudos on changing your life! And sorry to hear about your marriage.
First things first. Sobriety will have to be the cornerstone of your new fundament, with a clear mind and no escaping from reality you will be able to learn more about yourself, find out what the life you actually want to lead looks like, feel your boundaries, what gives you pleasure and hope and what is healthy for you. You can then set to work building that other life for you and your kids. Bit by bit. One day at a time, as we say in recovery.
Just abstaining from drinking isn’t enough as I can tell you know cos you’ve already joined a gym so that’s amazing! I’ll attach a few links to get you started and find your places around the Forum.
