Everything is new and scary for you at the moment but if you read as much as you can, it’s almost like arming yourself.
Stick around. A lot of people on here with good advice and experience.

If in person meetings are not open, sponsors are available on an app called the 12 step toolkit. Or you can attend meetings on intherooms.com and ask for a sponsor during a meeting.
