From Dover With Love
On June 3, 2023, a local news article reported a significant increase in opiate overdoses in the New Hampshire region. *Jen Harris* was a resident of Dover, New Hampshire, living a seemingly ordinary life. However, the news hit her unexpectedly, stirring up long-buried memories. Years ago, Jen had lost her brother to an opiate overdose, an incident that had left a lasting scar on her heart. The new statistic brought back waves of grief and anxiety. Jen realized she needed to confront her unresolved emotions and the silent battle she had been fighting with alcohol dependence as a coping mechanism. Determined to make a change, Jen came across the Stepping Into Action program on the Hofman & Hollis website. The program seemed promising, proposing structured steps and professional guidance to help overcome her struggles. One statement from the program resonated deeply with her: 'Understanding the past is the first step towards changing the future.' Encouraged by the structured approach, Jen began to follow the program diligently. One day, Jen attended a webinar and heard Dr. *Hoffman* say, 'Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.' These words motivated her to stay the course and continue addressing her trauma. Through the program, Jen began to see changes in her outlook and her habits. Expert opinions on dealing with substances vary widely. Dr. *Hoffman* emphasized the importance of structured programs and professional help for long-term recovery. On the other hand, Dr. *Smith*, another expert, expressed skepticism, suggesting that self-help techniques could be equally effective. Despite the conflicting opinions, Jen found the online program extraordinarily beneficial. It was challenging to find similar help locally, and the online accessibility proved to be a lifeline. In conclusion, embarking on the Stepping Into Action program was a turning point for Jen. Confronting her past and seeking structured help were essential steps towards her healing journey, showing that sometimes, the help we need isn't always nearby, but it can be just a click away.
