How do you get out of debt?

so you get all these credit cards and you tell yourself you can handle it and at the time you really could but they raise the credit limits and you start buying dumb stuff. now you’re working constantly to get out of debt but as soon as you get the bill down, something happens and it goes right back up. some say you should pay the small ones off first and then pinch away at the large ones until they disappear and some do the exact opposite. what’s your best option? when i did it, i did the small first and then i tackled the monsters.
