Any and ALL addictions the first step is seeing it as a problem and being ready to change.... sounds like you are there. 

 Now the next things you do are important too...  identify what you think you are getting out of it and what you actually are....  slowing use or stopping immediately you may have times you fall back on this for whatever reason you are using this for.   

These are stumbles and you start over again....  overcoming addiction sometimes takes more then one attempt to quit.

@discreetSky660 Hi! I'm so proud that you have opened up and brought attention to this. Admitting you want to make a change is the first step into changing things. When breaking an addiction, it can be different for everyone. you have to find a way to stop in a way that maybe isn't cold turkey, but instead slowly overtime. Stopping your addiction means you have to cater to your needs and listen to your mind. There are lots of people who will support you, and you should never feel any shame!

@discreetSky660 I'm actually here for very similar reason. I also started at a similar age, and also have trouble sleeping. 

I don't know what kind of advice I can gave because I'm currently going through it too... But just know I understand, and I feel your struggle.
