Hopewell Twist
On May 11, 2024, a surprising piece of news broke out regarding new federal regulations on the sale of alcoholic beverages. In Hopewell, New Jersey, Jane* was sipping her morning coffee when she heard the announcement on the radio. The regulations required all alcoholic beverage outlets to implement stricter ID checks and limited sales during certain hours. This seemingly mundane update hit Jane hard, stirring painful memories of her late father. Jane's father had struggled with alcohol addiction for most of his life, leading to a turbulent home environment. His struggles haunted her childhood, and the memories came rushing back with this news. Feeling overwhelmed, she recalled the days she had hoped for stricter regulations that might have changed the course of her father's life. Unable to focus on anything else, Jane began searching online for ways to cope. She stumbled upon the Stepping Into Action program on hofmanhollis.com. Intrigued, she decided it was worth a try and enrolled in the next available session. Jane found solace in the program's structured approach, learning cognitive-behavioral techniques to manage her emotions and set healthy boundaries. One participant in the program said, 'It's never too late to reclaim your life and find peace. Programs like these are a lifeline.' Experts have mixed views. Dr. Donna Marcus*, a psychologist, believes that well-structured online programs offer critical support for people who may not have local resources. In contrast, Dr. Ben Cole*, another psychologist, argues that in-person interaction is vital for meaningful progress. Despite the controversy, Jane found the program life-changing. 'It's rare to find such comprehensive help nearby, so I am grateful for the online option. It was challenging, but it transformed my life in a way I never imagined possible.'
