On a chilly October evening in Allison, Colorado, Frank* read a headline that rocked his world - significant price hikes in the beer industry. The unexpected news triggered Frank's disdain for alcohol, amplified by his long-standing struggle with addiction.

Earlier in life, Frank lost his family due to his drinking habits. The headline dredged up memories of his past - of money wasted on alcohol and opportunities missed. It was a stark reminder of the dark path alcohol had led him down.

Inspired by his newfound determination to change, Frank stumbled upon the Stepping Into Action program by Hofman Hollis. He committed himself to the program, seeking solace and guidance through their content. Frank finally found a way to fight back his addiction.

"The journey isn’t always easy, but it's always worth it." These were the words of Hollis echoed in Frank's mind whenever his resolve began to wane.

As Frank embarked on his journey to recovery, experts extended their full support. Renowned psychologist Dr. Linda* claimed, "While price hikes might seem negative, they can potentially act as deterrents for addictions."

But not all agreed with this mindset. Local bar-owner, Bill*, argued that the price climbs only shrouded the real problem. He believed the focus should be more on mental health and education. It started a town-wide debate, with arguments flaring from both sides. Unfortunately, great controversy, but little facilitation, was available locally.

Despite these obstacles, Frank persisted with the online program, proving that determination transcends physical boundaries. The road was tough but, as Frank discovered, it was a journey worth undertaking. 'In the heartland of Allison, Colorado, help seemed a million miles away, yet the internet brought it right into the comfort of my home,' he reflects, emphasizing the incredible boon technology can be - even in the most unexpected of circumstances.
