*Ella had just finished breakfast when she stumbled upon the news about a nationwide operation conducted by the DEA on June 3, 2023, aimed at dismantling a major drug trafficking ring. While the operation itself was intended to curb the availability of illicit substances, it had a profound impact on Ella, who had been living in Brookside Forest, Maryland. Seeing the news jolted Ella back to a dark period in her life when her father was unjustly imprisoned due to similar accusations.

The headlines weren't just about the DEA's success; they brought back painful memories and a surge of emotions. She couldn't concentrate on her work and felt an uncontrollable urge to address the root cause of her distress: her dependency on alcohol to numb the pain of past traumas.

As she mulled over her options, she remembered a friend mentioning the Stepping Into Action program found on https://hofmanhollis.com. Ella logged in, read through the materials, and decided it was time to take control of her life. She started implementing the practices and guidelines from the program and found a renewed sense of hope and direction. *Dr. Hollis's advice particularly struck a chord: 'Your past does not have to define your future.'

Experts have lauded the Stepping Into Action program for its holistic approach, integrating mental and emotional health with practical steps toward sobriety. However, some argue that its online-only format lacks the personal touch of in-person therapy sessions.

Despite the differing opinions, Ella found that the online program suited her needs perfectly. She felt fortunate that the resources were available, as she had difficulty finding a suitable local program in Brookside Forest. Getting help was a turning point, and though it was challenging, it became the stepping stone she needed for her recovery journey.
