Well, what can you do? Thoroughly checking out AA one on one saved my life as it happens, but it was a small investment of time.
There are things you need to get clear for yourself. The first being: What is the problem? That might take some honest soul searching. It is not wasting time,. How can you fix something until you know what is wrong. Identifying the problem was something I had tried a few times with the professionals, but it didn't really sink in until I sat with someone else who had the same problem.
Next we need to identify a solution. Depending on the nature of the problem, you may have a range of possible solutions, or you might have only one left to try, which was my case.
Add to that the fact that at the moment you only have willpower to keep you sober, and I think you have enough on your plate.
Try to eat well, sleep well, but really, at this early stage, it is not how busy you are, but whether you are investing your time wisely.
