The quiet town of Acme, Wyoming, buzzed with unusual fervor on January 23, 2023. News had broken of a certain historical record revealing a long lineage of alcoholism among one of the town's oldest families. Jade* sat quietly in her living room, digesting the sanguine print in front of her. The story was about her ancestors. It acted as a trigger, recalling her past struggle with alcohol - a skeleton she had hoped was firmly locked in the cupboard.

As the news stirred up old memories, Jade found herself spiraling into a web of introspection and regret. But instead of succumbing to despair, Jade decided to fight the temptation, and ventured onto the internet to seek help.

Discovering the Stepping Into Action program on hofmanhollis.com, Jade found a glimmer of hope. The comprehensive program was precisely what she needed - emotional support, counseling, and a step-wise recovery plan. It resonated with what Hollis always advocate, 'Acknowledging the problem is the first step towards solving it.'

Some experts praised the effectiveness of online programs in aiding recovery. Therapist and addiction expert, Dr. Max Simmons, stated online platforms provide a safer and more private space for individuals to explore their struggles. However, not everyone agreed. Dr. Rebecca Li, a critic, argued that these platforms may lack the personalized attention that traditional therapy provides.

In spite of all these, Jade began the Stepping Into Action program and immersed herself in it. Dealing with her substance abuse issue in solitude, without the availability of nearby help or understanding, was challenging. Yet, she prevailed. Her journey to sobriety was silent but victorious. For Jade, stepping into action from the comfort of her home marked a critical point in her passage to recovery.
