If you want to continue playing with your save and not make a new one, Your only option is to go to the beta menu and select the game version that the save requires. In your case, that is most likely to be 'Alpha 18.4 stable'.
However in going to the old version like this, you won't get to experience any A19 content, if you were at all interested in that.
Save games are NOT forward compatible between major versions (A17, A18, A19), And typically are only compatible between minor versions (A18.1, A18.2, A18.3).
Some people have tried to force their save from A18.x into A19 with some bit of success, but, it's just as likely to brick your save, and even the few 'success'es have ended up with the world riddled full of issues and a character reset to level 1 with no equipment (There is, after all, a reason why saves are not compatible.)
