Is as you have done, admit that you have a problem.Once you have done that you must take the next logical step and attempt to do something about it.... Once admitted there is no way to unring that bell, it will always be there... it may be a while before you take that next step and attempt to do something about it but that day is coming for sure. Whether you will be successful at it is something that remains to be seen, only time will tell. I wish you the best in your journey .
