Unfortunately, as said above, wreckage requires clearing.In most ways I am not any better at it than I was when I was drinking. But as tomsteve mentioned, there are solutions. I find that I can only tackle one problem/mess at a time (and maybe start on another while that one is working). Credit cards will lower their APRs and work with you on a payment plan, living situations can gradually over time get better (if you have possessions, sell everything you can (Craig's list is great for that). If you have lost everything but yourself, well, at every turn I see "stuff" I wish I had not bought and think of life's gifts I missed while trying to plug those holes with things.

If you have no-thing(s) go volunteer yourself somewhere. I do the ASPCA, but may involve myself in the soup program at local churches. Etc. etc.

Talk a bit about some of your problems here and I bet people will help you with solutions. Every little act will help your sense of well-being.
