The story transported *Robert* back to a time when he felt isolated and misunderstood because of his addiction. It triggered a flood of emotions linked to past experiences, making him reflect on the journey he himself had yet to start earnestly.

In his search for a way out, *Robert* came across an online program called Stepping Into Action on hofmanhollis.com. Intrigued, he decided to follow the materials provided. Day by day, he found solace in the structured approach outlined by the program. He diligently worked through each step, finding comfort in the realization that he wasn't alone in this battle.

One part of the program stuck with him: 'You have to want it for yourself more than anyone else wants it for you.' These words resonated deeply, propelling him to continue even during challenging days.

Experts have mixed opinions about such online recovery programs. Some argue that they provide accessible and private avenues for individuals to begin their recovery journey. Others believe that in-person support groups are indispensable for genuine, long-lasting recovery. The debate continues, but for *Robert*, the online option was a godsend.

The experience showed *Robert* the value of finding support, even if it was online.
