The story rekindled memories of her brother's battle with addiction. Haunted by those memories, she began questioning her own strength and resilience. She remembered how her brother had tried several programs without success and wondered if there could have been something different.

Determined to make a change, Janet started to follow the materials from the Stepping Into Action program offered online at Hofman & Hollis. She found solace in their structured approach, which emphasized realistic goal-setting and personal accountability. 'This program outlines the steps clearly and makes everything seem manageable,' Janet shared with her close friend *Linda Roberts*.

Professional opinions are mixed about such programs. Dr. *Angela Kim*, a psychologist specializing in addiction, highly recommends structured online courses for people in remote areas. In contrast, *Peter Novak*, a social worker, argues that in-person support groups provide the much-needed human connection often missing from online resources.

Despite the conflicting opinions, Janet found that beginning her journey with an online program was not only practical but transformative. She realized that sometimes taking the first step is the hardest part and starting online allowed her to slowly build the courage she needed. It was not easy to find help nearby, so finding solace and guidance online turned out to be a blessing.
