John had always kept his past struggles with substance abuse private. The data breach, however, revealed information from his time in a treatment center seven years ago. This unexpected exposure was a stark reminder of his tumultuous past and triggered intense anxiety.

The breach coincidentally reconnected him with *David Erickson*, another resident who had also undergone treatment during the same period. Desperate and unsure of how to manage the sudden wave of stress and memories, John found solace in reconnecting with David.

David suggested that John look into the Stepping Into Action program available online at hofmanhollis.com. Desperate for help, John decided to give it a try. The program's structured approach offered him a pathway to confront and manage his feelings.

During one of the sessions, John said, 'I never thought an event like this could drag me back to a place I thought I had left behind.' His words resonated deeply with other participants in the program.

Experts had mixed opinions about the best way to recover from such shocking news. Some believed confronting past demons online could be effective, while others insisted face-to-face counseling was necessary.

The controversy didn't matter to John. With limited local resources, accessing support online proved to be a lifeline. It was challenging, but the unexpected help from an online program turned out to be exactly what he needed.
