I went from completely isolating in active addiction to having a completely full schedule. I know in order for our external life to match the work we're doing internally, there has to be balance, but I'm struggling with it. The all or nothing mindset of humans in general and specially us addicts is no joke

I definitely relate to this! I still struggle with feeling guilty or "lazy" for taking time to rest and relax, even when I know it's what I need! I am thankful for the self awareness I now have in recovery though. Always a work in progress!
Balance takes time. Just like everything else in recovery. Just do the best you can and remember to include thinking you enjoy in to your schedule. Keep your head held high and take it one step at a time.
