Right on. Yes, we can all sit in the comfort of our own worlds and talk about how important it is to admit one has a problem and is responsible for the outcome of those problems. I am actually a psychologist, and I know that sometimes you can't get to the point of admitting your responsibilty ALONE. The best way, in additon to listening to the many people on this board who are supporting you right now (yes, being a bit hard on you IS suppporting you) is to go to a PROFESSIONAL and talk about your situation. They can help you to better understand the reality of your situation and get you on your way to recovery. It is hard...really hard. I think you would agree, though, that your family is worth the work!
