Hey Lou - welcome to the community and a great job on your 8.5 months of sobriety.
This is a super supportive community. SO many amazing folks here to help you with their own stories, advice and just offering a ear when needed.
A few of my absolute favorite threads are:
Checking in daily to maintain focus #58
and
Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #5
Check these out and some others here and jump in when you feel comfortable. This site is always active so hopefully we will see you around.
