(beautiful name by the way!),
i encourage you to check out therecoverygroup.com. they have meetings around the clock at 12, 3, 6 & 9 am & pm. The online meeting takes a little getting used to but it's a great sub for a f2f meeting.
also check out oa.org--the twelve steps and traditions are posted there. I also recommend getting the OA 12 & 12 book...it's written specifically for OA. I do like reading the AA Big Book (I knew nothing of AA when I started) but find I respond better to the OA 12 & 12...as it is written for MY compulsion. There's also a workbook to accompany the OA book.
this group is a great place to be...there's a lot of support and encouragement. I joined back in January and have come from being a sobbing, helpless and hopeless mess to a person that is filled with LOVE & HOPE--mostly because of the help I received here! The gals here are so good at leading you in the right direction.
Welcome...keep coming back! It works if you work it...and you deserve it!
Blessings,
