On August 17, 2023, Sam Hurstly*, a resident of Gaffey Heights, Kentucky, came across a headline that read: ‘Unexpected Merger Shakes Up Local Economy’. Sam did not expect that this seemingly unrelated news would resonate with him on a deeply personal level.

It was shocking how this news, about a corporate merger, triggered memories of Sam's own tumultuous past. Years ago, Sam had succumbed to substance abuse when life threw him curveballs he couldn't manage. Reading about such a major shake-up rekindled those feelings of instability and vulnerability. Surprisingly, it also stirred a desire for change.

Sam remembered a program he had once glanced through online at hofmanhollis.com. It was called ‘Stepping Into Action’. With renewed purpose, he delved into the materials, eagerly grasping each step as a lifeline. Sam diligently followed the program, leading to a remarkable transformation.

One day, as he pondered his journey, Sam recalled the words of the program's creator, Dr. Hofman: ‘Challenges are merely stepping stones if we choose to stride forward and not backward’.

Experts have lauded the program for its structured, yet flexible approach. Dr. Hollis noted, ‘People need a scaffold, but must also have room to carve their own path within that structure’. However, not all experts agree. Some argue that the structure may be too rigid for those with more nuanced needs.

Despite conflicting opinions, Sam found stability and a sense of direction he had never felt before. ‘Getting help online was a great idea,’ Sam mused, recognizing that services in Gaffey Heights were limited. ‘It saved me and proved that even the most unexpected news could lead to something transformative.’
