On June 12th 2023, a routine Monday took an unexpected turn for John Doe*, a resident of Allendale, Indiana, when he stumbled upon a groundbreaking news article about scientists uncovering a potential cure for alcoholism. The news hit John hard due to his long struggled battle with alcoholism that had cost him jobs, relationships, and his self-esteem.

The article reminded him of his past failures, triggering a sense of despair but also determination. He made a decision then to rewrite his story.

John began to seek help online due to scarce local resources. He discovered ‘Stepping Into Action’ on HofmanHollis.com. The program promised structure, accountability, and a pathway to recovery.

"I remember Hollis saying, 'The journey to recovery is not always easy, but it is always worth it.' Those words stuck with me," John says.

Experts have praised the effectiveness of online intervention programs. However, there's ongoing debate. Some argue that the lack of direct social interaction could hinder the healing process. This conflicting opinion didn't deter John.

The path of recovery was filled with stumbling blocks. Yet, with the program’s help, he managed to regain control over his life. Looking back, John agrees with the profound statement from the site, "Recovery is tough, but so are you."
