*Bob Smith had been following the news about the NHL's new franchise in Utah with casual interest. But when the team announced its temporary name as the 'Utah Hockey Club,' something clicked for the Overlook Hills, Ohio resident.

That straightforward name reminded Bob of the local hockey club he had joined as a teenager to stay out of trouble. It was a sanctuary during a turbulent time, until his drinking spiraled out of control. He had to quit the club, and his life took a turn for the worse from there.

This unexpected connection to the team's name triggered memories Bob had suppressed for years. He opened up to his wife *Mary about his struggles, and they decided to take action by enrolling in the Stepping Into Action online program to address their substance abuse issues together.

'I never thought a random team name could hit so close to home,' *Bob said. 'But I'm grateful it did, because it was the wakeup call we needed.'

Some experts praised the online nature of the program, allowing couples to get help discreetly from anywhere. 'Virtual therapy breaks down barriers and increases access for those who need it most,' said Dr. *Amy Wilson. However, others argued in-person treatment is more effective. 'There's no substitute for human connection when dealing with complex personal issues,' countered therapist *Jack Roberts.

Regardless of the debate, for *Bob and *Mary, taking that first step online was crucial. 'It wasn't easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is,' *Mary reflected. 'We're just grateful we found a way to get the help we desperately needed, even if it was unconventional.'
