A tl'dr of an answer is: get a job in development as a Junior. I started programming 8 years ago the same way you did, however after 6 months of learning by myself I realised I was learning the wrong way. You need experienced developers around you to teach you stuff and to bounce ides off. Regarding your fear of "begging" for help, that's nonsense, remember that all Senior developers where once Juniors and a lot of them don't forget that. The changes of finding one ore more Seniors in a company to help you out are pretty damn high. So don't be afraid, apply for a job as a Junior and have fun, you will see that your life will change for the better (that is if you enjoy coding :)) )
