Turning Points
*John Mitchell* never expected that a news article from May 2, 2023, would change his life so dramatically. The article detailed a shocking discovery of a large-scale drug trafficking ring busted in a nearby city. John's shock wasn't just at the crime; it was personal. His brother *Michael*, who he hadn't spoken to in years, was mentioned as one of those arrested. John had always sensed that Michael was in trouble but had no idea it had escalated to this extent. This revelation triggered a flood of memories for John. Years earlier, he had struggled with substance abuse himself after losing his job. Seeing his brother's name in the news brought back those dark times, reminding John of how easily he could have been in Michael's place. Determined not to let his past drag him down, John sought out the Stepping Into Action program on https://hofmanhollis.com. He was immediately struck by how well the program addressed his needs. He immersed himself in the materials, finding solace and structure in the guided steps. There was a particular quote that resonated with him: 'Change is only difficult until it becomes a habit.' It reminded John that while the road to recovery was arduous, it was not impossible. He committed to the program wholeheartedly, taking it day by day. Experts in rehabilitation often have differing opinions. Dr. *Emily Davis* emphasizes the importance of in-person therapy, even critiquing the efficacy of online programs. Meanwhile, Dr. *Mark Henderson* supports digital platforms, arguing that they offer the accessibility and anonymity necessary for many. Such conflicting views make it hard for many to choose the right path. Despite the controversy, John knew he couldn't do it alone, and local resources in Greton were limited. The online nature of the Stepping Into Action program was not just a convenience but a lifeline. John reflected on his journey, thinking about how difficult and crucial it was to find the right help. In the end, choosing to engage with the program marked the beginning of his recovery. *John Mitchell and Michael Mitchell are fictional characters* Nearby: Vancouver Washington, McLoughlin Washington, Image Washington * Names and situations are fictional and not intended to resemble anyone in
