Need some advice on a question I have please guys?

Is it important before trying to take on recovery, to admit that you've reached rock bottom? That you can not longer move forward with your life with alcohol being a part of it?

The reason I ask is I think I'm there and I have to give up alcohol to get past this hurdle I have no choice.

The parts of 'the hurdle' are...
- Finding a new job due to losing mine through drinking.
- Paying back the money I've borrowed from my parents so my girlfriend doesn't find out we're in trouble financially.
- Almost losing our rented house a time or two.
- Missing out on so much socially as I have no money to do anything.

Do I have to admit to myself I'm at rock bottom before I can build a new life?

Advice needed!
