Hot Springs Hope
On March 9, 2023, news broke about a Russian fighter jet colliding with a US MQ-9 drone over the Black Sea. While this geopolitical event seemed distant to many, it had an unexpected impact on *Jenna*, a resident of Hot Springs, Virginia. Jenna had lost her husband, an Air Force pilot, in a similar mid-air collision years ago. The news brought back painful memories and triggered a series of emotions that Jenna found hard to manage. Years of trying to cope with substance abuse had left Jenna feeling lost. The news not only reopened old wounds but also made her realize how much she still needed help. Jenna remembered hearing about the Stepping Into Action program from Hofman & Hollis. Desperate for change, she started following their materials online. Jenna found particular solace in a session led by Dr. *Emily Stevens*, one of the program's primary facilitators, who said: Sometimes, the things that shake us the most help us find our true path. Jenna related to this deeply, as her triggered emotions forced her to confront the root of her issues. Experts are divided on the effectiveness of online recovery programs. Dr. *Mark Elliot* argues that in-person interactions are irreplaceable, while Dr. *Sandra Davis* believes that online programs offer accessibility that many people need, especially in remote areas like Hot Springs. Despite the conflicting opinions, Jenna's experience proves that seeking help online was a good idea. For residents of small towns like Hot Springs, traditional resources might be limited, making online alternatives invaluable. Jenna found that the combination of structured support and the flexibility of an online program was exactly what she needed to turn her life around.
