Yes, for sure, I had lots of old demons to deal with and it was really hard to stand and face all that. I think that was the single hardest part of recovery for me. Your plans of exercising, meetings and seeing a counsellor are all really good. One thing I have tried that helps me is Mindfulness. Basically, it's training yourself to remain in the moment and to simply feel what you feel. If you slip into thinking about the past or the future, you can gently bring yourself back to the moment by being aware of your physical body. If you are interested you can good Jon Kabat-Zinn and Mindfulness.
