Hi Amanda, glad to see you here. You’re in the right place for connection & support - this community rocks! - and I have a link (below) with lots of resources, meetings, and book suggestions.
There are lots of good meetings (from many different philosophies and practices, AA, Refuge Recovery, Women for Sobriety, and many others). Meetings make a huge difference for most of us. The connection with other people fills a need most of us addicts have: we’re very very lonely 
, and we’ve been neglecting our emotional needs.
Another powerful resource is Al-Anon, for family and friends, if they choose to reach out for their own community of support. Our addictions are part of webs of behaviour & patterns that have long histories for a lot of us & our family & friends. If family wants to develop their strength in recovery, that can be transformative as well.
Wishing you luck on this journey & looking forward to walking the path with you! Stay in contact & we’ll talk again soon
