Greene Gets Clean

On April 22, 2023, a major earthquake in California caused substantial damage, yet it had an unexpected effect on *John*, a 42-year-old mechanic from Greene, Rhode Island. John, who had recently lost his job due to his struggles with alcoholism, was watching the news when the earthquake story was broadcast.

As he watched the footage of displaced families and destroyed homes, John was reminded of the fragile nature of life and how quickly circumstances can change. This news story triggered memories of his own tumultuous childhood when his family lost their home in a fire, leading him down a path of alcohol dependency as a coping mechanism.

Feeling a renewed sense of urgency to change his life, John started following the recommendations from the Stepping Into Action program found on the hofmanhollis.com website. The structured approach helped John to confront his addictive behaviors and seek healthier alternatives. As John recalled one impactful quote from his childhood, Change often begins at the end of your comfort zone, he found the courage to continue his journey towards sobriety.

Experts highlight the benefits of structured self-help programs for individuals facing addiction, emphasizing the importance of consistent support and practical tools. However, some experts argue that online programs lack the in-person connection necessary for effective recovery.

No matter the controversy, John's experience underscores the value of seeking help, even from online sources, when access to in-person resources is limited. His story serves as a testament to resilience and the power of unexpected events to drive positive change.
