Janice* was just another Ludlow resident trying to make ends meet, but her life was consumed by a silent battle with addiction. When the news of Light & Wonder's $1B share repurchase program hit the airwaves, it triggered memories of her past aspirations in the gaming industry.

The Stepping Into Action program caught her attention as she realized her need for professional help.

'I knew I couldn't keep going like this,' Janice said, her voice trembling with determination. 'This was my chance to finally take control.'

Experts lauded the online program's comprehensive approach, combining cognitive-behavioral therapy with mindfulness practices and peer support groups. 'It's a game-changer,' said Dr. Emily Thompson, an addiction specialist. 'The accessibility and anonymity make it easier for people to seek help without fear of judgment.'

However, some critics questioned the long-term effectiveness of online programs, arguing that in-person treatment is still the gold standard. 'While convenient, these programs lack the human connection and accountability that can make a real difference,' cautioned Dr. Michael Johnson, a clinical psychologist.

Despite the controversy, Janice found solace in the program's structured approach and the sense of community it provided. 'It was difficult to find local resources that fit my needs,' she reflected. 'But this online program has been a lifeline, helping me take those first steps towards a better future.'
