Christina honey - you have GOT to call your local intergroup and get the names of open meetings the week of your six month anniversary. I've never heard of a group not giving out a six month chip. Go to open meetings. Go to several. Collect several. Seriously - that's what I did in my first year. Partly I was going to multiple meetings anyway, and wanted to let people in the groups know how I was doing. But I got to be honest. I'm selfish, and I'm all about the rewards. Getting applause and hugs really helped keep me going my first year.
