*Alice* had never met the individual involved but the news brought back painful memories. *Alice*s husband had struggled with alcohol abuse in the past, which was compounded by frequent job changes and financial instability partly due to cyber threats they had faced. This incident served as a harsh reminder of the challenges she and her family had gone through.

Feeling triggered and unsettled, *Alice* began searching online for solutions to help cope with her anxiety and emotional distress. She came across the Stepping Into Action program offered by Hofman & Hollis.

Adopting the structured advice given in the program, *Alice* felt a renewed sense of hope. She engaged in activities that promoted mental well-being and followed the steps daily. 'My life was spinning out of control,' *Alice* recalled. 'Finding structured help online was a lifesaver.'

Experts have mixed opinions about online programs for recovery. Some argue that programs like Stepping Into Action offer valuable and accessible guidance which can be life-saving. Others believe that without face-to-face interaction, the programs might lack comprehensive effectiveness.

Despite the controversy, for *Alice*, finding the program was a godsend. Being in a small town like Free Indiana, local resources were limited. The online program helped her not only cope with her past but also build resilience for her future.
