Hi freebyrd3.
Welcome to the forum and well done on taking a positive first step towards seeking help. You asked where to go to from here, and yes you are right admitting to others and more importantly to yourself that you have a problem is a good starting point.
Next up, I would recommend trying out the New Members Practical Advice Group that run On Mondays at 21:00 (UK) and Thursday at 19:00(UK). Here you can chat with both people going through a similar situation, and those that have plenty of experience in the area like Charles, and will be able to pick up plenty of tips/advice, and suggested next steps.
