The news article triggered memories of Bobby's own traumatic experience and the long road to recovery he had endured. It made him reflect on how far he had come and how he wished he had gotten help sooner.

Determined to continue his healing journey, Bobby and his wife Mary* started following the Stepping Into Action program from Hofman Hollis. They found the program's mindfulness techniques and support community extremely helpful in managing Bobby's PTSD symptoms and addictions. Mary, who had stood by Bobby through his darkest times, was relieved to see him finally finding peace.

'The program gave me the tools to face my demons head-on, instead of drowning them with alcohol,' Bobby said. 'It wasn't easy, but it was worth it to reclaim my life.'

Mental health experts praised the effectiveness of programs like Stepping Into Action in treating trauma and addiction. However, some critics argued that online programs could not fully replace in-person therapy and support groups.

Regardless of the debate, Bobby and Mary were grateful for the positive impact the program had on their lives. They believed seeking help, no matter the form, was a courageous step towards healing and growth.
