A Ripple in Hinkleville
On August 28, 2022, a news article about a significant drug bust in New York City made its way to Hinkleville, Kentucky. Little did anyone know that this event would ripple through the small town and profoundly affect *Laura Jenkins*. Laura had battled substance abuse problems in the past, and the news stirred something deep within her. *Laura* was a schoolteacher striving to rebuild her life after overcoming her addiction. The bust involved a drug lord she once knew. The shock took her back to darker days, reigniting her fear of relapsing. It felt like a sign, telling her she wasn’t far from the dangers she once left behind. Determined to stay on the right path, *Laura* decided to follow resources from the Stepping Into Action program at https://hofmanhollis.com. The program offered practical advice on navigating life's challenges and staying clean. One particular mantra from the program stuck with her: 'Hope is a verb with its sleeves rolled up.' It became her guiding light through dark times, reminding her that maintaining hope took effort and action. However, the news article stirred debates in her community. Dr. *Jonathan Miller*, a local psychologist, believed that the program's online resources were invaluable for people like *Laura* who had no immediate access to help.

She persisted, finding solace in the practical steps provided by the program and gradually rebuilding her confidence. 'If it wasn't for these online resources, I might've felt completely lost,' she thought. As experts debated the efficacy of online versus in-person help, *Laura* knew one thing for certain: finding support, even virtually, was crucial.
