Entering Monastery, Recovering Addict, Seek Advice

Entering a small Soto monastery as a way of trying to finally make it past addiction, and to grow much further past that. Will have a a two week trial period before they formally accept me. Plan to stay at least six months, if not longer. Have practiced zazen for a dozen years on and off. Looking for advice on how to make the most of this opportunity, especially from people who have spent time in monasteries, even better if they were also in recovery. Much appreciated!
