Sounds like a good plan, good for you.
You are wise to also realize that a counselor with substance abuse experience is a plus. The therapist that my exabf and I went to together did not, and he really had no idea what he was dealing with. He focused on all of the symptoms, which we now know were all a direct result of the drinking.
Take care of you...one day at a time. It's good to have a plan, and it can always be revised. I have learned not to put exact time frames on things because what happened to me was that my exabf would pressure me once the deadline arrived. When you are ready, you will know.
Sending positive thoughts your way
