4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
It sounds like you are going through step four.
I'll never forget going through step 5. Two people were present ..... it lasted about 5 hours.
One of the folks present was a nice lady that was leading me through the steps and the other person was my sponsor. Between the two of them, they had about 50 years of sobriety.
A lot of what I had to "admit" even startled them........ 
Although it was tough to "fess up", it was very rewarding and allowed me to continue with the other steps of the program.
I wish you well in your recovery.
If there is anything I can do, just PM or e-mail
Sincerely,

Thanks hum! But, for your own privacy, you should edit your post to remove your personal details. You really should be limiting the amount of weirdos who can contact you
I've copied your stuff down, I'll be in touch
I've found that so far, the hardest thing has been admitting to myself that things aren't great for me. Luckily I've had a lot of time so far this winter to do some serious soul searching.
For the past couple weeks, I've been trying to get the courage up to come clean with my parents about everything. I'm so scared about breaking my mom's heart once she hears everything and I don't want my dad to feel like I can't level with him.
It's going to be a hard go when I tell them...
