You probably already have realized this, but most likely, you'll have to forgo some of the "luxuries" that you may have taken for granted. I'm not just saying that to you, but for the others that are your "net". (As an example, it can be VERY frustrating to come home and find a roommate has just purchased the latest X-Box game having forgotten that it was HIS turn to buy the month's groceries.) Things like internet, cable, phone, etc may have to be moved into "luxury" status as you get to your feet. Essentially, if it were me, I'd start out being absolutely the biggest tightwad possible and live like a monk for a couple of months and then see what else you can add into your finances. Make these moves small and deliberate and always allow some time to see how it works out before making another financial commitment. Eventually you'll be able to live comfortably, but for now, absolute control over the finances is a must.
Good luck to you.
