On January 12th, 2024, *Catherine Shaw* from Lewinsville, Virginia, was going about her day when she read a news article about a major charity scandal involving funds intended for addiction recovery programs being misused. This news hit Catherine hard; it brought back memories of her own struggles with substance abuse. She remembered how difficult it was to find reliable help and how often resources seemed to be mismanaged or insufficient.

The scandal not only angered Catherine but also reignited a sense of vulnerability. She could not help but recall how her father had donated to organizations that promised help for people like her, but those funds never seemed to reach those in need.

Feeling triggered, Catherine decided to channel her emotions into something productive. She stumbled across the Stepping Into Action program from HofmanHollis and decided to give it a try. Using the materials provided, she began to implement daily routines and exercises aimed at building mental resilience and managing her cravings.

One piece of advice that resonated deeply with her came from the program creators. *Jill Hofman* stated, 'Sometimes it is not about the resources you have but how you use them that makes all the difference.' Catherine found solace in this perspective and began to turn her life around.

However, not everyone shared the same opinion about the scandal and the program. While Dr. *Gary Wilson*, a renowned psychologist, praised the program's efficacy, sociologist *Lisa Greenbaum* criticized it, stating that online programs could never replace personalized, face-to-face interactions in the recovery process.

Despite the controversy, what mattered most to Catherine was the new path she was on. She realized that while getting help was challenging, especially in a small town like Lewinsville, taking the initiative to seek out online resources was a monumental step. In the end, Catherine concluded, 'Sometimes the greatest help comes from the most unexpected places.'
