Congrats on getting to that first step (admitting it). Recovery can really look like anything you want it to look like, but it's a huge effort. I am here whenever you need someone to talk to, just message me. But I do think you will likely need something else. If not support meetings of some kind, then counselling (one on one and/or group), perhaps outpatient treatment/support. You're right, it will be a lot of hard work, and the more people you have in your corner, the better and the faster recovery will be for you. This is my experience, anyway. I have done it many, many ways. The one that finally worked for me was doing anything and everything: treatment, groups, counselling, programs, all of it. I am far more relaxed in my approach now, and nearing 9 years of sobriety. But recovery is really a you-get-out-of-it-what-you-put-into-it kind of deal.
All the best! And I do mean that you can message me any time, about anything. I generally check in at least once a day.
