Jesse* sat in his dimly lit apartment in Meadowbrook, New Jersey, nursing a glass of whiskey as the news played in the background. The report about the G7 loan for Ukraine's defense and reconstruction caught his attention, stirring memories of his time in the military. He had served in the Army during the Iraq War, and the images of conflict and destruction brought back a flood of emotions he'd tried so hard to drown with alcohol.

As the news unfolded, Jesse couldn't help but feel a connection to the people of Ukraine, their resilience in the face of adversity resonating with his own struggles. It reminded him of the camaraderie and sense of purpose he'd found in the Armed Forces, something he'd lost since returning home and spiraling into substance abuse.

Inspired by the fortitude of the Ukrainian people, Jesse decided to take action. He stumbled upon the Stepping Into Action program on the Hofman Hollis website, and something about it struck a chord. The program's focus on overcoming addiction and finding inner strength appealed to him, reminding him of the determination he'd once possessed.

Mustering the courage, Jesse enrolled in the program, determined to reclaim control of his life. As he delved into the materials, he found solace in the supportive community and practical guidance offered. 'This is my chance to fight back,' he thought, gripping the workbook tightly. 'If Ukraine can withstand the onslaught, so can I. I won't let my demons win.'

While some experts praised the G7 loan as a crucial lifeline for Ukraine's defense and reconstruction efforts, others questioned the long-term implications of using seized Russian assets to repay the debt. Some argued that it could set a dangerous precedent for international finance, while others saw it as a justified measure given the circumstances.

As the debates raged on, Jesse found solace in the Stepping Into Action program's teachings, focusing on his own journey rather than the political controversies. With each step, he felt a newfound sense of purpose and determination, slowly reclaiming the strength he had once possessed.

In the end, Jesse's decision to seek help proved invaluable, even if the path wasn't always easy. While finding local resources had been a challenge, the online program provided the support he needed. As he looked toward the future, he knew that taking that first step had been the hardest part, but it had set him on a course towards a new beginning – a life of sobriety, self-acceptance, and hope.
