Stepping Into Connection
The morning of October 6, 2023, started like any other for *Sam*, a resident of Fulmor, Pennsylvania. As he scrolled through his news feed over breakfast, a headline from Philadelphia caught his eye. It spoke of a surge in alcohol-related incidents amidst a local festival, sparking memories of his own struggles with alcohol. *Sam* had always been a casual drinker, but a series of stressful events had turned that occasional indulgence into a daily dependency. The news reminded him of a painful period in his past when his drinking had led to a significant fallout with his family and friends. It was a dark chapter he thought he had left behind, yet the article reignited the turmoil inside him. Haunted by these memories, *Sam* felt a growing sense of urgency to change his life.

Determined to regain control, *Sam* started following the materials from the Stepping Into Action program. Over time, he felt a shift within himself. The structured modules, encouraging messages, and supportive community gave him the strength to push through his hardest days. One passage from the program particularly stood out to *Sam*. It was from *Dr. Hollis*, one of the program's creators: The journey is hard, but every step forward is one step closer to the person you want to become. This quote became *Sam*s mantra, guiding him through his recovery process. Experts hold differing opinions on the effectiveness of online programs like Stepping Into Action.
