Sorry you find yourself here, but there is a lot of wisdom and good advice to be found here that really helps.
Sounds like you're off to a good start! I can't add much to what Az told you, but it sounds like you an I have some similarities (I also work from home full-time, in a tech profession, etc.). I don't know if you tend to be an introvert, but I do, and I've found that getting out doing things with and around people is very helpful to round out the GAL activities. Church is good, so is doing a new activity or one you enjoy that keeps your mind on learning and growing, and off the sitch (which is on our minds enough as it is!).
