Question Over-analyzing recovery

I thought of something recently; Kindof like how I tend to over-analyze my drug/alcohol use, I think I do the same with recovery. Like constantly researching different methods of recovery, and every thought has to do with getting better, yet I feel like through all of that I put this enormous amount of pressure on myself making it even more difficult to stay clean.

What I've been doing the past few days is just taking it easy.. Not thinking too much about recovery, doing different healthy activities to keep my mind focused off of using, and just reminding myself every so often to make the next right decision. A lot of people say it's nessecary to keep recovery as your number one, but I feel like when I focus on it that much I don't have time to enjoy it..

Anyone else ever feel the same?
