Angry My alcoholism has become workaholism!

I'm 6 months into recovery and back in AA. I work 9-5 Mon-Fri and also have a second job working evenings and weekends. No joke but i am averaging 60 hours a week. Initially overtime was to clear my debts which it has done. I think in the back of my mind though I continue to do shifts because I do not trust myself evenings and weekends and work keeps me busy.
I really do enjoy going on the football but just lack trust in myself being in such an environment. My second job is really getting me tired and I am thinking of dropping it and learn to have a social life and not just work myself to death.
Anyone else been a workaholic when sobered up just to keep busy and away from the pub? I am really finding it unhealthy.
