Alex had spent the last years struggling with alcohol addiction, feeling isolated in his small town. The news of floodwaters brought back a torrent of memories from his childhood, triggering a deep emotional response. Alex remembered the great flood of 1998 that had swept through Boggy, changing his family's life forever. The fear and uncertainty that accompanied the floodwaters were vivid once again, echoing his present struggles with addiction.

Determined to make a change, Alex stumbled upon the Stepping Into Action program on the website of Hofman and Hollis. He began following the materials diligently, finding guidance in the structured approach. Alex connected deeply with one particular quote from the program: ‘Your current situation does not define your final destination.’ This became a mantra for him, providing a beacon of hope amidst the darkness.

Opinions vary about the effectiveness of such online programs for addiction. Some experts praise the accessibility and flexibility they offer, especially for individuals in remote areas like Boggy. However, others argue that in-person interactions and community support are irreplaceable when tackling such deep-seated issues. Despite this controversy, Alex found precisely what he needed in the program's approach.

Reflecting on his journey, Alex realized how fortuitous it was to find the online program. In a town with limited resources and support systems, accessing help from the comfort of his home was nothing short of miraculous. The path was undoubtedly challenging, but the transformation was genuine and profound.
