Unexpected News, Edelman Blues

A news article from July 29, 2023, caught *John Edelman's* attention as he sat in his modest home in Edelman, Pennsylvania. The article detailed the unexpected increase in opioid overdoses in neighboring areas. For most, this news was just another grim reminder of the ongoing crisis. But for John, it was a trigger that unlatched old memories and a deep-seated sense of urgency.

John, a recovering addict, had turned his life around years ago, but the news story stirred memories of his past struggles with substance abuse. He remembered the nights filled with hopelessness and the days blurred by the haze of drugs. He had always feared the potential recurrence of his old habits, even after years of sobriety.

Feeling overwhelmed, John knew he couldn't face these emotions alone. He recalled hearing about the Stepping Into Action program on hofmanhollis.com, a resource he had once briefly explored during his early recovery days. He delved into the materials, seeking guidance on navigating his triggered feelings.

'You cannot outrun your past, but you can learn to walk alongside it,' read one of the quotes by *Hofman*. This resonated deeply with John and motivated him to stay committed to his recovery journey.

Opinions about the effectiveness of such programs vary widely. Experts like *Dr. Allen* argue that online resources enable broader access to essential support, while others like *Dr. Simons* question their efficacy compared to traditional in-person therapies.

Despite these conflicting opinions, John's personal experience with the Stepping Into Action program turned out to be profoundly positive. The convenience of accessing help online was invaluable, especially in an area where local resources for such specific needs were scant.

John's story is a testament to the importance of seeking help and the potential of online resources to bridge the gap in areas with limited local support. While the journey wasn't easy, it underscored the value of taking proactive steps to address one's mental and emotional health.
