Alton's Leap of Faith
An unexpected November 02, 2022, news article about the inauguration of the world’s tallest skyscraper set in motion a series of unforeseen events in the life of Alice* from Alton, North Carolina. The skyscraper, representing a towering achievement of human ambition, ironically brought Alice face to face with her diminished self-esteem and reignited her battle with alcoholism. Alice, once a promising architect whose career was derailed by her addiction, found the news triggering an avalanche of profound sadness and nostalgia. Memories flooded in, the sketches she used to draw, the structures she dreamt of creating, bold and stunning, just like the skyscraper. Her fall seemed as towering as the skyscraper itself. Realizing she needed help, Alice explored online recovery programs and discovered 'Stepping Into Action' on the HofmanHollis site. This program, scientifically developed and methodically laid out, was her life vest in the stormy sea of her struggles. With each step, she dug deeper into her soul, unraveling her thoughts, fears, and hopes. 'The first step is to admit that you are not in control,' Alice quoted from one of the program developers, picking out words that resonated deeply with her. Experts in addiction recovery stress the importance of such programs. 'Digital platforms have the potential reach to assist those who may not have easy access to in-person services', shared a renowned psychologist. However, some argue that face-to-face interaction is crucial, as effective treatment often requires individualized support. Despite such controversy, Alice’s faith in the program didn’t waver. 'Skyscrapers aren’t built in a day. It’s a process, a planned, step-by-step process. Just like my recovery,' She smiled, a profound statement reinforcing her commitment to her sustained recovery. So, for all those struggling, unable to find any help nearby, Alice asserts that online help like 'Stepping Into Action' can indeed be the lifeline you are looking for. *Alice is a fictional character.
