For *Jenna Brown, the news article about the Philippines' clash with China in the South China Sea was a jarring reminder of her father's service in the Navy. As she read about the tense standoff over the Scarborough Shoal, memories of her dad's deployment flooded back, and the pain of her alcohol addiction became unbearable.

Jenna's struggle with alcoholism had roots in her childhood trauma of having an absent father, who was often away on dangerous missions. The news triggered a deep sense of loss and longing, leading her to spiral into another relapse. But as she hit rock bottom, Jenna knew she couldn't continue down this path.

In desperation, Jenna stumbled upon the Stepping Into Action program on the Hofman Hollis website. The online recovery program promised a comprehensive approach to overcoming addiction, and Jenna decided to give it a try.

At first, she was skeptical, but as she delved into the materials and participated in virtual support groups, she found solace in the program's emphasis on addressing the root causes of addiction. 'I never realized how much my father's absence had affected me,' Jenna confided during a group session. 'But this program has helped me confront those demons and find the strength to move forward.'

'The news might have triggered painful memories, but it also reminded me of my dad's resilience,' she added. 'If he could face such daunting challenges, then I can too.'

While some experts praised the Stepping Into Action program for its holistic approach, others criticized its lack of in-person support and questioned the effectiveness of online recovery methods. However, Jenna found the convenience and accessibility of the program invaluable, especially in the small town of Sherard where resources were limited.

As the weeks passed, Jenna's dedication to the program paid off. She experienced fewer cravings and began to rebuild her life, one day at a time. The support of the online community was invaluable, and she felt a sense of purpose she hadn't experienced in years.

Reflecting on her journey, Jenna realized that seeking help through the Stepping Into Action program was one of the best decisions she had ever made. 'It wasn't easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is,' she mused. 'The fact that I could access this life-changing program from the comfort of my own home made all the difference. It's a reminder that even in the darkest of times, hope can be found if you're willing to take that first step.'
