Acknowledging that you have a problem is always the first step in solving the problem. Whether you're addicted to something or have any other issue, you can't start to change your behavior, and no one else will be able to approach you in an attempt to help you resolve the problem until you come to the realization that you need help.
One of my favorite lines from a movie was spoken by Gene Hackman in The Poseidon Adventure. "The Lord helps those that help themselves."
No one else can truely resolve your issues, but yourself. Others may be able to assist you, but you need to be the one to take the first step!

Gosh, the Poseidon Adventure! Incidentally, we recently saw the remake of that. I don't often say this, but I think I preferred the original.
I've heard that quote said a few times and always thought that it's a very good statement. There's no arguing with it really. It reminds me of the joke about the man praying every night to God to grant him a lottery win, until God replies one night telling him to buy a lottery ticket, because he needs something to work with!
