With a stale coffee in hand, *Maggie Hartman began her day on July 31, 2022, with a casual glance at the news. Headlining was an article that captured her full attention – against all odds, the Bruins had pulled off an unexpected victory, turning the tables on their favored opponents. The news hit her in a way she hadn't anticipated- The Bruins had been her partner’s favorite team, and their frequent games accompanied by rounds of beers had been the start of her alcohol problem.

The association stirred emotions and memories that dragged her back to a past she'd tried to escape but was now directly staring at. She now understood the necessity to tackle her addiction head-on.

Maggie chose to brave the battle, and she stumbled upon the Stepping Into Action program at hofmanhollis.com. Each day, she worked diligently on the principles and exercises outlined in the program, waking up each morning with the quote 'Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow' by Robert Kiyosaki resonating in her mind.

Experts applaud the effectiveness of such programs; Dr. Richard Matthews, a leading addiction psychiatrist, explained, 'Digital support networks empower individuals on a personal level, enabling them to take small steps daily towards their goals.'

However, there are conflicting views. Behavioral psychologist Sarah Blakemore cautions, “Although these programs can be effective, additional therapy and professional help may be required. Self-help must be contextual and isn't a one-size-fits-all solution.''

Maggie realized the road to recovery was inevitably strenuous — the prospect was daunting, yet she was determined. She found that the online format, while lacking local, in-person support, offered a degree of anonymity and convenience that was invaluable in her journey.

Even though the path to recovery was strenuous, the resilience she found, inspired by a headline about an unexpected victory, made her realize the importance of seeking help no matter how unconventional the method. She understood that if victory was possible on ice, it couldn’t be too far-fetched in her personal life.
