On July 31, 2023, a significant news article hit the headlines, shaking various communities across the nation. For John* from Brown, Maryland, the unexpected news stirred something deep within him. The article reported on a growing number of accidents linked to alcohol consumption. As John read the report, he couldn't help but think of the incident that had changed his life years ago. He had been involved in a car accident influenced by alcohol, an event he struggled to forgive himself for.

Years had passed, but the memories were as raw as ever. The news article brought everything back, and John knew he had to address it. Seeking help, he stumbled upon the Stepping Into Action program on the HofmanHollis website. Motivated by a sense of urgency, John decided to give it a try.

In the following weeks, John diligently followed the materials provided by the Stepping Into Action program. He read about the Power of Choice, Learning from The Past, and Future Planning. He felt encouraged by stories of others who had turned their lives around, just like he hoped to do.

During one webinar, a counselor named Jane said something that resonated deeply with him: 'Your past does not define you, but your actions now will.' This statement became John’s mantra as he worked his way through the steps of the program.

Experts have varying opinions about the effectiveness of online recovery programs. Some argue that face-to-face interactions provide more accountability and support. However, proponents of the online method argue that it offers greater accessibility and flexibility, which are crucial for individuals who might not have local resources.

The conflicting views did not deter John. He found that the ease of accessing the program online allowed him to commit more fully and work at his own pace. As he delved deeper into the program, he felt a transformation taking place. John realized that finding this resource was the turning point he needed. Even though the journey was difficult, he was glad he decided to seek help online. It was the best choice he had made in a long time.
