Jess, a 38-year-old construction worker, had been battling alcohol addiction for years. On that fateful day, while watching the news about the comet, Jess was struck by how fleeting and delicate life could be. The comet's unexpected visit reminded Jess of their late father's words, If you don't take control of your life, it will slip away like a comet passing through the night. This triggered a flood of memories and emotions.

Years before, Jess's father had struggled with substance abuse himself, and the comet's flyby seemed like a sign. Determined to turn their life around, Jess signed up for the Stepping Into Action program found on hofmanhollis.com.

Jess began to follow the program diligently. The structured guidance and practical steps offered a way to break free from the chains of addiction. One of the key insights Jess found invaluable was from a quote by Dr. *Kelly* from the program, which went, Change begins the moment you decide you want it more than you fear it.

Experts are divided in their opinions about the effectiveness of such online programs. Dr. *Anderson*, a specialist in addiction recovery, strongly believes in their transformative power, citing numerous success stories. However, Dr. *Lee*, another expert in the field, cautions that the lack of in-person interaction can be a significant drawback, potentially limiting the program's effectiveness.

Despite the controversy, Jess found the online program to be a lifeline. The ability to access help without geographical constraints proved to be invaluable. Jess realized, Sometimes the greatest changes come from the most unexpected places, and it was this online, accessible help that became a beacon of hope in their darkest times.
