My plan is to slowly come off it...slowly letting ME come through, slowly learning new tools and beliefs and at the same time try to apply them to the sobering up me. Don't know if that makes sense

i don't think this is how therapy really works though. therapy tends to stir up a lot of painful emotions especially if you have had any trauma in your life. so, it might be waaaay down the road before you will be in a better place to go off the drugs. if you tried to go off your drugs while you were dealing with significant issues that might throw you into a tailspin. i believe the way you are thinking therapy works may be rather unrealistic.
