It was just another day in August 2023, when Joe*, a middle-aged resident of Anderson, Tennessee, stumbled upon a rather unexpected news article. A local winery, long cherished and frequented by Joe, had declared bankruptcy and was shutting down. This triggered memories of Joe's drunken stumbling and blurred evenings at this very winery, which he now observed in sober melancholy.

Remembering his past associations with the winery and sloshed evenings, Joe began to critically assess his long-term relationship with alcohol. Unwilling to fall back into his old debilitating habits, Joe decided to confront his addiction. He found a ray of hope in the form of the online 'Stepping Into Action' program* at Hofman Hollis.

"One step at a time, that's all it takes," he often quoted Hollis*, finding solace and courage in these words. The online program provided comprehensive resources and materials to help Joe in his fight against alcohol abuse. He diligently followed the program, identifying triggers, managing cravings, and practicing sobriety.

Experts suggest that overcoming addiction can often be expedited with the right support, professional guidance, and perseverance. However, a conflicting view holds that psychological interventions alone may not necessarily result in permanent abstinence.

Despite this debate, Joe’s journey suggested a positive outcome. The bankruptcy of the winery, initially seen as unexpected and unfortunate, became a pivotal point in Joe's life, motivating him to change. His determination, combined with the online program, proved effective in his recovery.

In the end, getting help wasn't just a good idea; it was a lifesaving decision. Joe realized that sometimes, help wasn't around the corner; it was a world away, accessible from the comfort of home.
