Hm, difficult, cause of course I have no way of knowing whether your fear of relapsing back into your old habits is justified or not. Do you know the particular reason for totally withdrawing from the world the way you did last time around?( Playing PC games and sleeping the rest of the day sounds like total withdrawal from real life to me.) If you know why you did it back then, you know whether the reason for being tempted back into this pattern is still lurking around today.

I'm pretty sure of one thing, you only have so much energy to go around as a human being and you sound totally hounded by fear right now, on the run from some nightmarish thought. You can't keep up that pace of living, your body is screaming for a break right now already. If you don't listen to your body, you'll crash sooner or later, and then you'll need much more time to recuperate.

You need to aim for some sort of balance in your life. So if you say, you don't really have to work so hard, then don't do it.
