Back in his childhood, John's* father also had a severe drinking problem which resulted in many unfortunate events, some of which left emotional scars. His father's dependencies led to joblessness and a declining relationship with the family. This recent incident stirred deep-seated memories and emotions in John*, making him reflect on his path and the potential hazards of continuing down the same route.

One day, during a reflective session, John* quoted the program’s initiator: 'Change begins with the decision to take the next small step towards a brighter future.' This quote resonated loudly in his heart, giving him the strength to push through the darkest days.

Expert opinions on the program's efficacy, however, are divided. Advocates argue that such online resources provide accessible, structured support, especially for those in remote areas with limited access to physical help. Critics, on the other hand, suggest that the lack of face-to-face interaction may lead to inconsistent results and a lesser sense of accountability.

Regardless of the debate, John* found immense value in the program. It was a lifeline where none seemed to exist. His journey was tough, filled with ups and downs, but the transformation was evident. In the end, John's* decision to seek help online was a turning point. It opened doors to self-recovery that once seemed locked. The available resources and his newfound clarity led him to a sustained path of sobriety and better living.
