Stepping Stones: Brown Mills Bumps

Samantha* lived a quiet life in Brown Mills, Pennsylvania, battling her own set of struggles in solitude. But on May 07, 2023, a piece of unexpected news caught her attention. The headline talked about a significant increase in local wildlife activity due to quarantine measures implemented in nearby cities. This surge in wildlife had resulted in a higher number of accidents on rural roads, including one close to Samantha's home.

Reading about the accidents triggered a cascade of memories for Samantha. Just two years earlier, her husband Adam* had been involved in a car accident on the same road, substantially fueled by his alcohol abuse. His passing had left her dealing with grief and a lingering sense of unresolved pain.

Samantha stumbled upon the Stepping Into Action program through her social media and the Hofman & Hollis website. She decided to give it a try as a means to cope with her bottled emotions. With each step in the program, she felt a sense of progress and renewed purpose.

'I never thought I would find a way to move past the grief and addiction that held me captive,' Samantha said. 'But following the program gave me a structure and a sense of hope.'

Experts from the program endorsed its methods, emphasizing its step-by-step approach as being crucial for those dealing with the layered issues of grief and substance abuse. However, some critics argued that its one-size-fits-all modules might not address everyone's unique problems adequately. Despite these conflicting opinions, Samantha found that the program's online accessibility was a saving grace for someone in a small town with limited local resources.

In the end, the unexpected news article was the catalyst Samantha needed. It was difficult to find support nearby, but seeking help online through the Stepping Into Action program proved life-changing. She learned that healing and growth could be found even in the most unexpected of places.
