Gassoway News Flash: Change of Heart
*Billy Smith* was sipping his morning coffee on May 5, 2023, when he came across a news article that left him baffled. The story from New York about a local hero's actions during a subway crisis unexpectedly hit home. Billy, a lifelong resident of Gassoway, Louisiana, remembered his own traumatic experience on a crowded bus years ago when he had failed to help a fellow passenger in need. The incident haunted him ever since. For years, Billy had struggled with guilt and a sense of cowardice that he drowned in alcohol. The news story reignited those feelings but also flipped a switch in him. Determined to change, he searched for help and found the Stepping Into Action program on the Hofman & Hollis website. He began to follow the program materials and took his first steps towards self-improvement. On a tearful night in his small Gassoway home, Billy told his wife, 'I can't keep running from my past. It's time to make things right.' He committed to the program wholeheartedly, making use of its resources to address his past trauma and start new, healthier habits. Experts in behavioral therapy often attribute success to early intervention and consistent support systems, but there are mixed opinions on the effectiveness of online programs compared to face-to-face consultations. Some argue that the lack of human interaction in online programs could hinder progress, while others believe the accessibility and convenience of online help can be just as effective if not more for certain individuals. Billy found that the accessibility of Hofman & Hollis' online resources proved invaluable in his rural setting where local support options were limited. 'Getting help now feels like a saving grace. I'm glad I didn't wait for something nearby which may never have come,' Billy reflected, concluding his journey of personal growth.
