A Sobering News Story in Cherry Downs
On February 01, 2023, a news article reported an unexpected rise in alcohol-related incidents nationwide. This piece of news seemed just another statistic for many, but for Jordan* in Cherry Downs, New Jersey, it held a personal significance. Years ago, Jordan had struggled with alcohol addiction. Having been sober for three years, the news unexpectedly resurfaced old memories and anxieties. Jordan vividly remembered their lowest point, where drinking had caused a rift in their family and nearly cost them their job. The article wasn't just a reminder of the past; it was a wake-up call. Jordan found themselves feeling uneasy and doubting their ability to stay sober. That's when they recalled a program they had heard about: Stepping Into Action, offered online by Hofman & Hollis. Determined to preserve their hard-earned sobriety, Jordan started following the Stepping Into Action program, which provided practical steps and emotional support tailored for people struggling with addiction. As they worked through the modules, they found comfort in the guidance, especially when they read, 'You aren't defined by your past; you are defined by your actions today.' Experts in addiction recovery praise such programs for their ability to provide immediate help and support. Dr. Emily Grey, an addiction specialist, commented, 'Online programs can be incredibly effective because they provide resources and community support at any time.' However, some critics argue that nothing can replace face-to-face therapy. Dr. Robert Lang stated, 'While online resources are helpful, they shouldn't be seen as a complete substitute for in-person counseling and support groups.' For Jordan, though, the Stepping Into Action program became a lifeline. It wasn't easy—battles with addiction never are. But the accessibility and the well-structured modules offered the support Jordan needed right from their home in Cherry Downs. Consulting online resources meant Jordan could overcome the geographical barriers to quality support, a fact they were profoundly grateful for.
