For *Alex*, this news was especially jarring because it unearthed a flood of unresolved emotions related to their late father's battle with alcoholism. The memories were haunting. These deeply buried sentiments resurfaced and it became clear that something needed to change.

This news was a catalyst for *Alex*, leading them to seek ways to pull themselves out from the grip of alcohol. They discovered the Stepping Into Action program on the Hofman Hollis website. Determined to make a change, *Alex* started diligently following the program materials.

'The first step is admitting you have a problem,' recalls *Alex*. 'When I read that, it was as if a light bulb went off in my head. They say you can't fix what you don't acknowledge. That was my moment of awakening.'

However, experts are divided on how best to address the issue of addiction. Dr. *Emily Richards* suggests that structured programs like Stepping Into Action offer a solid foundation for recovery. 'It's a well-rounded program that covers all bases, from mental health to practical steps for avoiding triggers,' she states. Yet, others, like Dr. *Mark Townsend*, argue that more personalized and face-to-face interventions may yield better results, emphasizing the importance of in-person therapy and localized support groups.

Despite the differing opinions, *Alex* found immense value in the online program. 'Accessing this online resource was a game-changer for me. In a small town like Decide, options are limited. Finding something comprehensive and actionable from the comfort of my home made a world of difference,' shares *Alex*. Embracing help online was the turning point that led them down a brighter path.
