This latest news connected with Jessica's past in a way that was deeply triggering. Her father had been an alcoholic, and as a child, she had often been the caretaker in her home. Seeing the broader societal implications of the issue that had so influenced her own life was overwhelming. She felt an urgent need to take action, not only for herself but also for her family now.

Motivated by a compelling need to make a positive change, Jessica began exploring resources for support. She came across the Stepping Into Action program at hofmanhollis.com. Determined to break the cycle of pain, she resolved to put the program's teachings into practice. 'I won’t let this define my future,' she thought resolutely as she read through the first chapter.

Expert opinions varied about the effectiveness of such online programs. While Dr. *Sarah Meyers* of the National Institute on Substance Abuse declared these resources invaluable for reaching a broad audience, some critics cautioned that without face-to-face interactions, the impact might be limited. Nonetheless, Jessica's experience suggested otherwise as she made steady progress.

Jessica reflected on her journey with a sense of gratitude: 'Finding support online wasn’t just convenient; it was life-changing. In a town like Lansdowne, without many local resources, this program was a godsend.' It had been a difficult path, but stepping into action had given her the tools she needed to reclaim her life.
