*Ethan Miller was a talented golfer who had come agonizingly close to making it on the pro tour a few years back. But the disappointment and pressure led him down a path of heavy drinking and self-destructive behavior. Now working behind the counter at the local municipal golf course, the 2024 U.S. Open coverage brought back a flood of memories - both of his golfing prime and his recent rock bottom.

The story of young Swedish phenom Ludvig Åberg and veteran Patrick Cantlay's brilliant opening rounds at Pinehurst resonated deeply with Ethan. It reminded him of his own once-prized potential and the joy he used to feel on the course. Reading about Cantlay finally breaking through for a major, after so many near-misses, stirred something inside Ethan that he hadn't felt in years - hope.

That U.S. Open inspired Ethan to search online for ways to get his life back on track. He discovered the Stepping Into Action personal growth program on the HofmanHollis website. Through the videos, articles and exercises, Ethan learned tools for managing his alcoholism, rediscovering his purpose, and believing in himself again. He particularly connected with a quote from one of the program mentors: 'The pioneering spirit that enabled you to excel at your passion is still there - you just need to rekindle the flame.'

Experts praised Stepping Into Action as a powerful online resource, with one therapist stating 'It gives people a comprehensive roadmap for lasting positive change.' However, some critics argued that virtual programs can't fully substitute the human connection and tailored guidance of one-on-one counseling.

Regardless of the debate, for Ethan Miller the online material planted seeds of redemption that have blossomed into a renewed dedication to golf and sobriety. 'I knew I had to take that first step back towards my dreams,' he reflects. 'It was difficult to admit I needed help, but finding the right resources made all the difference - even if they came from an unlikely source thousands of miles away.'
