When the power outage reached his home, it disrupted John's usual routine: a night of heavy drinking. Sitting in the darkness, he began to reflect. He remembered an old friend mentioning an online resource, the Stepping Into Action program. With his smartphone providing a faint glow, he visited hofmanhollis.com and started following the materials from the program.

This news article had triggered something deep within John. It reminded him of a storm many years ago, during which he lost his childhood home and subsequently started down the path of substance abuse. He found solace in realizing that just as he had rebuilt his life many times before, he could start anew again.

John meticulously followed the Stepping Into Action program, tackling each exercise and using the insights to rebuild his life. 'Taking control of my decisions, one step at a time, is empowering,' he admitted.

Experts provided mixed opinions on such programs. Dr. Susan Miller highlighted the importance of structured support systems, whereas Dr. Anthony Clarke argued that self-help programs often lacked accountability.

Despite conflicting opinions, for John, the Stepping Into Action program was a lifeline. The fact that it was accessible online made it easier for him to engage with it amidst his otherwise chaotic life. As he reflected, he concluded, 'Seeking help was the best decision I ever made, and finding it online was a stroke of luck in disguise.'
