Time to Change

It has been 3 1/2 years since this whole thing started. The worst trial I have ever had to face thus far. And I still can't overcome it. What is it? Pride. Fear. Lies. An overwhelming necessity for Perfection. I thought I could handle it all on my own. I felt I had complete willpower over everything and could stop whenever I felt like it. I was horribly mistaken...And that is why, today, I have announced to myself and all of you, "It is time to change." 

I have decided to take the 12 Steps, LDS edition. What are these steps?

Step 1: Admit that you, of yourself, are powerless to overcome your addictions and that your life has become unmanageable.

Step 2: Come to believe that the power of God can restore you to complete spiritual health.

Step 3: Decide to turn your will and your life over to the care of God the Eternal Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.

Step 4: Make a searching and fearless written moral inventory of yourself.

Step 5: Admit to yourself, to your Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, to proper priesthood authority, and to another person the exact nature of your wrongs.

Step 6: Become entirely ready to have God remove all your character weaknesses.

Step 7: Humbly ask Heavenly Father to remove your shortcomings.

Step 8: Make a written list of all persons you have harmed and become willing to make restitution to them.

Step 9: Wherever possible, make direct restitution to all persons you have harmed.

Step 10: Continue to take personal inventory, and when you are wrong promptly admit it.

Step 11: Seek through prayer and meditation to know the Lord's will and to have the power to carry it out. 

Step 12: Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, share this message with others and practice these principles in all you do.

So that is what I am planning on doing. But I can't do this alone. I need your help. Any advice you have for me I would greatly appreciate it!
