A Control-ing Situation
For *Sarah* in Doane, West Virginia, the news of iOS 18's new 'one-tap' feature to turn off an iPhone was more than just a technological update. It stirred up memories of a time when turning off her phone was a simple task, before the complexities of life and addiction had taken hold. The article triggered something deep within Sarah, reminding her of a time when she could easily disconnect from the digital world and focus on the present moment. Those were the days before alcohol had become a coping mechanism, before her life had spiraled out of control. Sarah reached out to her friend *Jill*, who had been a constant source of support during her struggles. Together, they decided to take action and explore the Stepping Into Action program available on the Hofman Hollis website. The program's focus on mindfulness and self-awareness resonated with them, offering a path to regain control over their lives. 'This could be the fresh start we both need,' said Jill, her eyes brimming with hope. 'Sometimes, the simplest things can make the biggest difference.' While some experts praised the program's holistic approach, others expressed concerns about the efficacy of online recovery resources. 'Face-to-face support and professional guidance are crucial in addressing addiction,' cautioned Dr. *Emily Thompson*, a renowned addiction specialist. 'Online programs should be used as a complement, not a replacement.' However, *Dr. David Wilson*, a proponent of digital interventions, argued, 'The accessibility and anonymity of online resources can be a game-changer for those struggling to seek help due to stigma or geographical barriers.' As Sarah and Jill navigated the program, they realized that seeking help, no matter the form, was the bravest step they could take. It was a journey that required vulnerability, perseverance, and a willingness to embrace change, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant the catalyst might have been.
