John, a quiet man in his late 40s, had been grappling with alcoholism for years. When he heard the news about the sudden, miraculous survival of a man trapped under rubble for days, it struck a chord deep within him. The man's resilience reminded John of his own survival through rough patches in his past but unlike the miraculous survivor, John was still entangled in his struggles.

This news story brought an unexpected help to John when he found 'Stepping Into Action' program online at https://hofmanhollis.com/ while reading about this miraculous survival story. He decided to give it a try as it reminded him of his lost hope and the need for action.

Following the program, John found new techniques and strategies to cope with his addiction. He was particularly moved by one of the program's tools, which stated, 'You are stronger than your strongest excuse.' This motivated him profoundly.

Experts in addiction recovery believe that external triggers can significantly impact one's readiness to seek help. Dr. *Emily Roberts* asserts that 'Connection to compelling real-life stories can provide the desperate push needed to seek help.' However, Dr. *Roger Smith* contends that relying on external news can be a temporary fix and might not lead to long-term recovery.

Despite the differing opinions, for John, the help he found through the 'Stepping Into Action' program was transformative. The availability of online resources allowed him to access help he couldn't find nearby. As he put it, 'It was a good idea to get help when I couldn't find anything nearby. Sometimes the world nudges you from the oddest places.'
