Unexpected Impact

On July 21, 2022, a news article highlighted a spike in nationwide alcohol consumption and its disastrous impact on communities. In Ballyclough, Iowa, this news unexpectedly struck a chord with Tim*. He had been long struggling with alcohol abuse, a battle unbeknownst to his neighbors. As he read through the article, a flood of memories from his past overwhelmed him. Tim remembered his father, who had succumbed to alcoholism years ago, leaving a lasting trauma and fear in him.

The profound connection to his past triggered Tim*, pushing him to make a change. He stumbled upon the Stepping Into Action program on hofmanhollis.com. Intrigued, he decided to follow its materials and implement its strategies. It was indeed a challenging journey, but Tim* was determined to break free from his consuming dependency on alcohol.

Weeks into the program, Tim* was struck by one particular statement from the program. 'You are not defined by your past, but by the strength you demonstrate moving forward,' Tim recalled. This phrase became his mantra, guiding him through the darkest days.

Experts' opinions on the program were mixed. Dr. *Hollis* praised Stepping Into Action for its structured approach and realistic practices. However, Dr. *Morris* argued that without personal, face-to-face support, real change might be minimal.

Despite the controversy, Tim felt it was the right decision to seek this kind of help. In Ballyclough, resources for addiction recovery were scarce, and online help was a lifeline. 'It was hard, but it was the best choice I made,' Tim* concluded.
