..I think a really hard part of 'addressing' any addiction is to realise that you have one or that, that's what you feel it is..and you've obviously given it thought and decided that you yourself want to make changes in your life, so for you those will be very positive and something that will make you feel good about yourself..?...and that in itself will give you more and more confidence, as you feel proud with yourself ...and that will help you to achieve what you want to...for me personally, setting myself a 'goal' for something always helps...sort of giving myself a date/deadline and a task etc that I want to achieve by then..and also not making that 'achievement' too taxing/difficult..just a little at a time..step by step....

..I have to go offline for a little while but I'll look and see if I can find some advice sites that may help you and be worth looking at later, ok.....
