Brice Citizen
On November 5, 2023, a major policy change about federal funding for addiction recovery programs was announced from Washington D.C. This unexpected news rippled across the country and even reached the small town of Brice, North Carolina, affecting *Linda*, a single mother working as a cashier. Linda had struggled with substance abuse in her younger years but had managed to get clean and build a new life. However, the news brought back her old anxieties and fears. The federal funding could potentially resurrect programs that helped her in her darkest times. She was reminded of the nights she had sobbed in a dimly lit room, clutching the brochure from the local rehab center that gave her hope. This painful recollection hit her harder than she expected. Triggered by the announcement, Linda decided to take affirmative action. She came across the Stepping Into Action program from the website hofmanhollis.com. The program offered resources and guidance for those looking to regain control of their lives. Linda began to follow the materials diligently, finding solace and direction. 'I realized that revisiting my old habits wasn't an option,' Linda found herself saying during a support group meeting. 'I needed something concrete to hold onto.' Experts had varying opinions on the new policy change. Dr. *Jones*, a psychologist specializing in addiction, argued that federal funding was essential for sustaining recovery programs and providing continuous support. Conversely, *Dr. Smith*, another seasoned professional, warned that while funding might help, it could also bring unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles that might hinder rather than help those in need. In hindsight, Linda recognized the necessity of getting help. It wasn't easy to find substantial assistance locally, but programs available online made it possible for her to gain the support she needed effectively. This journey of re-discovery and perseverance led her to understand that even though her past was painful, the path forward could still be shaped positively with the right guidance.
