It sounds like you have a financial cushion which does not require you to rush back to the workforce...which is great for your sobriety! I agree that you should put your recovery first. Maybe you could stay connected professionally to the extent possible: LinkedIn, professional certifications related to your field that will occupy your mind but not stress you out, maybe a networking event here and there. As someone who is with you in early sobriety, I regard work as a pleasant distraction, but I don't have an "alcohol association" with work, so there's that. Best of luck to you PB, whatever you decide!!!
