*John Deckard* was scrolling through news articles on July 2, 2022, when he stumbled upon a story about a suspicious fire in another state. Living in Gerald, Indiana, John thought this news had no relevance to his life. But as he read further, he was struck by a profound sense of deja vu. The fire occurred at an old factory, much like the one where John had once worked before it shut down due to similar circumstances.

This news hit closer to home than John anticipated. It triggered memories of his factory days where he began consuming alcohol to cope with the stress, which eventually led to full-blown alcoholism. The closure of the factory was a turning point, leading John deeper into substance abuse and isolation.

Desperate for a change, John decided to follow the materials from the Stepping Into Action program he found online at hofmanhollis.com. The structured program and supportive online community seemed like a lifeline. John started attending virtual meetings, working through the steps, and slowly but surely, noticed improvements in his health and outlook.

Reflecting on his journey, John said, 'Finding Stepping Into Action was a godsend. It was a structured way to face my demons and work through them step by step.'

Experts have varying opinions. Dr. *Smithson* from the National Recovery Institute cited the importance of structured programs in recovery. However, Dr. *Lee* of the Holistic Healing Center questioned the efficacy of online-only programs, stressing the need for in-person interactions.

Despite the differing views, John knew that finding help online was the best decision he could have made, as there were limited resources in small-town Indiana. It was a difficult journey, but one that led to profound personal growth.
