Welcome Kyle! It does start by recognizing the problem, and we learn and grow from there. There’s lots of wisdom in recovery, here on Talking Sober and also in recovery groups and recovery writers (lists here: Resources for our recovery).
Don’t by shy about joining a recovery group. Addiction loves shame, because guilt and shame prevents sustained sobriety. Turning and facing it directly and honestly, and opening up with knowledgeable people (like those in healthy addiction recovery groups) is helpful. There are meetings in person and online. Talking Sober folks are helpful too.
Welcome to the community!
