Yes - this act of being honest with yourself - HUGE step. I recall clearly looking in the mirror of a hotel where I was staying and seeing my Dad - and realizing that if I didn't stop, that's what I'd become - no, that wasn't the day I took my last drink. Yes, it was the day I acknowledged I needed to address this problem and start getting help. 2+ years sober now and so grateful for that moment in a mirror.
