Desperate to find a way out, John recalled a program he had heard of called Stepping Into Action. He visited the website hofmanhollis.com and began following their structured materials and advice. The program provided him with a new perspective and practical tools to manage his addiction.

'Stepping Into Action gave me a roadmap when I felt utterly lost,' John shared. 'It was like a lifeline during a storm.'

While experts like Dr. *Hannah Rogers** advocate for the effectiveness of online programs, there are also others like Dr. *Michael Bowe* who believe in-person support groups are irreplaceable. Nonetheless, the controversy does not diminish the progress John has made via virtual support.

John concluded that finding help online was a decision that profoundly changed his life. Though it was difficult to find local resources in Dunbar, the accessible online program was there for him when he needed it the most.
