Yes, AA is a good start. But if you aren't a Christian, perhaps you might consider establishing a personal relationship with God. He will provide all of your needs through Christ Jesus. I speak from experience, although I have been a Christian almost my entire life.
I was laid off from my job in 2003, then went back to school for my masters degree. Ha. A lot of help that did me. I couldn't find work then either. I just got into more debt. I ended up applying for disability when I didn't know what else to do since I have carpal/arthritis and a chronic back condition, related to all of the hard work I've done in my life.
God ended up opening a door for me to move out of state. After two years, I finally got on disability and all my bills are now current. I did, however, have to file bankruptcy before leaving my home state. But everything worked out for me because I trusted God, and He did provide. He provided people along the way - even non-believers - to help me financially and fix my car until that door opened for me. Trust me, God is the answer to all of your problems.
