You do want to keep busy but you want to take it slow so you don't overwhelm yourself and end up using Unhealthy coping mechanisms

Just keep your mind at a steady busy pace so that you don't overwhelm yourself.Don't freak out and go back to your old ways It's hard and it takes time to learn how to do it.But the more you try every day, the easier it gets.Just keep your hard work going

You’re motivated and it shows. Give yourself a lot of credit. Getting encouragement and support from other people is so amazing but it’s even more amazing when you learn to pat yourself on the back for every moment you stay sober. 2025 is gonna be a great year for you. Here rooting for you.

There's a book called Living Sober and it has a complete chapter on Easy Does It. Set your goals and achieve them at a pace that doesn't overwhelm you. Sobriety isn't a race to be won. You need to take it day by day EVERYDAY.
