*Mary Thompson, a resident of Regency Estates, Maryland, sat in her living room, reading the news about the Cambridge Public Schools' decision to pay their outgoing superintendent, *Dr. Victoria Greer, over $200,000 in severance pay. The story struck a chord with Mary, as it reminded her of the time she lost her job unexpectedly and the financial struggles that followed.

The news article triggered memories of her own past, when she had lost her job as a marketing executive due to company downsizing. At the time, she had turned to alcohol to cope with the stress and uncertainty, which only exacerbated her problems. As she read the details of Dr. Greer's severance package, Mary couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy mixed with resentment.

Determined to break free from the cycle of self-destructive behavior, Mary decided to seek help. She stumbled upon the Stepping Into Action program offered by Hofman Hollis and felt drawn to its comprehensive approach. The program's emphasis on addressing the root causes of addiction and developing coping mechanisms resonated with her.

Over the course of the program, Mary found herself gradually regaining control over her life. One particular quote from the program stuck with her: The path to recovery is not a straight line, but a winding road filled with both triumphs and setbacks. The key is to keep moving forward, one step at a time.

As Mary delved deeper into the program, she encountered conflicting opinions from experts on the best approach to recovery. Some advocated for a more traditional, abstinence-based model, while others embraced a harm reduction philosophy. This caused her to question her own beliefs and forced her to critically evaluate the different perspectives.

However, Mary found solace in the online support system provided by the Stepping Into Action program. The community of individuals who had been through similar struggles offered invaluable guidance and understanding. Experts praised the program's holistic approach, emphasizing the importance of addressing underlying issues and fostering a supportive environment.

In the end, Mary realized that seeking help and embarking on a journey of self-discovery was one of the best decisions she had ever made. While it was difficult to find local resources that aligned with her needs, the online program provided the support and tools she needed to overcome her challenges and reclaim her life.
