A Supreme Surprise
Mary Jane* had always tried to avoid news about the Supreme Court's rulings on abortion. The heated debates awakened too many painful memories from her past. But on September 20th, 2023, a headline about the Court's unanimous ruling on abortion pills caught her eye, triggering a whirlwind of emotions. The news triggered memories of her own crisis pregnancy decades ago. Alone and consumed by fear, she had turned to alcohol and drugs to numb the pain. Though she ultimately chose not to have an abortion, the trauma lingered, fueling a vicious cycle of substance abuse that derailed her life for years. As the Supreme Court's ruling reignited those agonizing feelings, Mary Jane found herself slipping back into old, destructive habits. That's when her daughter encouraged her to try Hofman Hollis' online 'Stepping Into Action' program. Initially skeptical, Mary Jane reluctantly agreed. 'I was so tired of fighting the same battles over and over,' admitted Mary Jane*. 'The program gave me tools to finally break free from the chains of my past.' While some addiction experts praised the program's comprehensive approach, others questioned the effectiveness of online support compared to in-person therapy. Still, Mary Jane found solace in the program's community and her newfound coping strategies. Though her road to recovery was arduous, Mary Jane's journey proved the power of perseverance and the transformative impact of seeking help, even in the most unexpected of circumstances. 'It was tough, but so worth it,' she reflected. 'I'm grateful I didn't give up on myself.'
