The quiet town of Alton, Virginia, wore its usual glassy sheen when Jason* encountered a news piece on June 17, 2023, about a sudden increase in cases of alcoholism in Virginia. This news surprised Jason* and rekindled memories of his father's deteriorating health due to alcoholism.

An unexpected flashback to his past, where he witnessed his father's deterioration caused by similar issues, had him reevaluate his own lifestyle. Unknown to himself until that moment, Jason* was treading a similar path of suffering.

The news astonishingly prompted Jason* to embark on a transformative journey using online materials from Stepping Into Action, a program on Hofman Hollis' website. His self-intervention was all due to the unexpected news article.

Rick Hollis*, co-founder of Stepping into Action, stated, 'The will to change is within, we just provide the tools to channelize it.' Jason* found these words to resonate with his new found will to abstain.

While professional psychologists argue that online programs lack the necessary human interactive touch, their convenience and accessibility cannot be denied. For someone like Jason* from Alton, only online help was viable.

On the contrary, some therapists believe that the distance that online programs provide can be beneficial, allowing individuals like Jason* to reflect and make progress at their own pace without overwhelming interaction.

This experience led Jason* to realize that sometimes the help one needs is not around the corner, but rather on the digital front. Who thought a news piece could lead to such profound change!
