Hi Kevin
My drug of choice was alcohol, not opiates but I definitely needed to take some time to figure out not only who I was sober, but how to live sober.
It took a while, but then I'd drank and drugged for years.
If you have support use it - you're obviously busy but can we really have a higher priority than happiness and contentment?
my advice is try and think of it as not something you have to do but something that will help make things easier and get you up and about on your sober feet sooner
I know you'll find a lot of support here too
