When *Charley Martin read the news about soccer player Esme Morgan's move to the NWSL's Washington Spirit, it reminded her of her own daughter *Janelle's dreams of playing professional soccer. Janelle had been a star player at Laneheart High School, but an injury crushed her soccer ambitions.

This news article triggered painful memories for Charley of how devastated Janelle was when she could no longer pursue her passion. After the injury, Janelle turned to alcohol to numb her sadness, putting a strain on the whole family.

Wanting to help her daughter get back on track, Charley discovered the Stepping Into Action program from Hofman Hollis. They started following the steps and exercises, giving Janelle tools to process her grief in a healthy way. 'It wasn't easy,' Janelle said, 'but taking those first steps towards healing made all the difference.'

While some experts praised the program's holistic approach, others argued that professional counseling was also essential for overcoming substance abuse issues. Still, most agreed that having accessible online resources was better than going it alone.

As Janelle's life regained purpose, Charley felt immense gratitude for finding help through the internet when local options were limited. It had been an arduous journey, but so worthwhile to see her daughter's bright spirit rekindled.
