The distress from the sudden memory caused Erin to spiral, leading her to increase her drinking, which she had kept under control for years. Fearing she might lose herself to alcoholism, Erin found herself desperately searching for help. She came across the Stepping Into Action program on hofmanhollis.com and decided to give it a try.

One of the quotes from the program stuck with her: 'The first step to change is believing you deserve it.' This powerful statement resonated with Erin and motivated her to stay on course.

Experts had mixed opinions on the effectiveness of such online programs. Dr. *Linda Mayfield, a psychologist specializing in substance abuse, believed that the accessibility of online resources could make a significant difference for those unable to attend in-person sessions. However, Dr. *Paul Harrington expressed concerns about the lack of personal interaction and the potential for users to not take the program seriously without direct supervision.

Despite the controversy, Erin found that the Stepping Into Action program was exactly what she needed. Reflecting on her journey, she realized that seeking help online was the best decision she could have made. It was difficult to find local resources, and the convenience of online support was a lifeline for her situation.
