The opposite of addiction is connection. The best thing I did was find the Newform app. I attend a bunch of their virtual meetings and have made sober friends that I’ve met in those meetings. It has really helped to keep me accountable!
Glad you’re here!
The first step is admitting we have a problem. So proud of you for doing that. Maybe try a meeting.
Reaching out shows that you want to quit...
And that's important
The opposite of use is not using...

My advice would be to do te hard thing.
And don't use, and go-to a meeting of some kind and tell them you want to stop.
And if that meeting doesn't feel good, go to a different one until you find one that feels open to you.
Start with your surroundings by getting anything related to your d.o.c.'s and just making it comfortable. I don't do meetings, but you may truly benefit from others' experience. Hug yourself and smile! Now stop it! You look silly! 
The shame doesn't help you get sober so you might as well let go of that one now. JS. The steps work of we work them. What is your hold up?
Reaching out is a big step, and you should be proud of that. You don’t have to do this alone. Have you thought about talking to someone who’s been through it?
