Unfortunately, I think the pattern theory of identity (according to which your copy is still you) is an illusion, and that this is all cryonics is likely to provideāa way to make copies of the frozen originals.
Would you also disagree with the pattern theory of identity as applied to, say, a game of chess?
Imagine I am playing chess on a chessboard with a friend, and then we have to go home, and I copy down the positions of all the pieces and put the board away.
The next day, we get out another board, put the pieces into their positions, and start playing from there.

Are we playing the same game of chess?
No, it then becomes a Zombie Chess game.
