An unexpected news article on December 28th, 2023, highlighting the surge in popularity of a rare Belgian beer, unknowingly influenced the life of a man in Ancram, New York. *John Sullivan, our everyday hero and owner of a local liquor store, found himself startled by echoes of his own past.

The news resonated with John because of a personal connection to that specific Belgian beer-- it was the first alcohol he ever drank, marking the start of his struggle with alcoholism.

Encouraged to face his demons, John started to follow the 'Stepping Into Action' program from Hofman Hollis's website.

When facing pushbacks and struggles, John held onto a quote from Benjamin Hollis, 'Hope is not a plan, action is.' The more he practiced, the better he managed his addiction.

Drug and alcohol experts complimented John's efforts but were skeptical about online rehab programs. They believed that face-to-face intervention and support were crucial.

However, contradicting this stance, Psychologist Dr. Nina Patel argues, 'Online programs have made therapy accessible to individuals in remote areas, providing much-needed help.'

Despite expert reservations, John's journey underscored the efficacy and accessibility of online help when local options are sparse. It's never too late to steer life's sails in a new, healthier direction.
