Newbie looking to regain control

Just come across this site after reading the money saving book.I'm as of this week started on a DMP with step change ( again after reading the debt section of money saving)
I got into debt through pay day loans, credit cards, overdrafts etc.
It snowballed. I didn't know what to do. Found myself in 10k worth of debt in 6 months. It affected my well being, family, work etc
Then I spilled my guts to my boyfriend and he was great help. And gave me the debt bible that is money saving.
It's only been a week, but hopefully it'll work out.
Learning to start again in every aspect one step at a time..
