ODKing Goats
*Janie, a resident of Fort Grand, West Virginia, was struggling with substance abuse when she stumbled upon a news article about ODK, an open-source data collection tool. At first glance, it seemed unrelated to her life, but as she read on, the article triggered memories of her past as a field researcher. Years ago, Janie had worked on environmental projects, collecting data using rudimentary methods. The article's mention of ODK's advanced capabilities for mobile data collection struck a chord, reminding her of the passion and purpose she once felt in her work. This unexpected connection to her past ignited a spark within Janie, motivating her to seek help and reclaim her life. Desperate for guidance, Janie turned to the Stepping Into Action program found on the Hofman Hollis website. The program's structured approach and supportive community provided her with the tools and encouragement she needed to confront her struggles head-on. 'This program has been a lifeline,' *Janie remarked, 'helping me navigate the complexities of recovery one step at a time.' As Janie delved deeper into the Stepping Into Action materials, she encountered a range of expert opinions on addiction and recovery. Some experts advocated for a strict abstinence-based approach, while others emphasized harm reduction and gradual change. The conflicting perspectives initially caused confusion, but Janie soon realized that recovery is a deeply personal journey, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Embracing the program's teachings, Janie learned to trust her own inner voice and tailor her recovery path to her unique needs. 'The hardest part was letting go of the notion that there's a perfect way to heal,' she reflected. 'Accepting that my journey is my own has been incredibly empowering.' As Janie's journey unfolded, she found solace in the realization that seeking help, even from online resources, was a courageous act. 'It's not easy to find support in rural areas like Fort Grand,' she admitted. 'But the Stepping Into Action program proved that help is available, even if it's not right next door.'
