Frankford Feels the Ripple Effect of Distant News

Ripples in Frankford

Sarah* had always considered herself fairly disconnected from global news until a headline from March 12, 2023, hit close to home. The news revealed a shocking increase in substance abuse across the United States, with a focus on smaller towns. Frankford, West Virginia, wasn't mentioned, but Sarah felt like the story was aimed directly at her.

Years ago, Sarah had struggled with alcohol dependency after a series of personal losses. She had managed to get sober and stayed clean for years, but the anxieties and memories hadn’t fully left her. The reminder in the news hit her hard, triggering a flood of emotions she'd thought were long buried.

Feeling overwhelmed, Sarah turned to the Stepping Into Action program she discovered on hofmanhollis.com. The structured approach offered her a lifeline and a way to regain her footing. She took each step seriously, finding solace in the program's materials and community support.

'The hardest part is recognizing that you need help. Once you do that, the path becomes clearer,' she often said to herself. This mantra kept her going, especially during the tough days.

Experts are divided on the effectiveness of such online programs. Some argue that the lack of face-to-face interaction can make them less effective. Others maintain that the accessibility and anonymity provided by online platforms are invaluable for people in remote locations like Frankford.

Despite the differing opinions, Sarah found the program enormously helpful. The structured steps and access to community support were exactly what she needed. 'It may be tough to find specialized help in a small town, but reaching out online can make all the difference,' she concluded with newfound confidence.
