A Vineyard's Vice
*Sarah Collins* sighed as she gazed out the window of her cozy Martha's Vineyard cottage. The news of the island's impending marijuana drought had stirred up emotions she thought she'd left behind. Memories of her college days, when she'd relied heavily on the drug to numb her anxiety and depression, came flooding back. The news article triggered *Sarah* because it reminded her of the darkest days of her addiction. She had struggled for years to break free from the grip of substance abuse, but the journey had been arduous and isolating. The thought of the island's residents resorting to the black market for their fix struck a chord within her, reminding her of the desperate measures she once took to feed her own habit. Determined to confront her demons and reclaim her life, *Sarah* stumbled upon the 'Stepping Into Action' program on the Hofman Hollis website.

'It's time to face it head-on and chart a new course.' As she delved into the program's teachings, *Sarah* found herself on a transformative journey of self-discovery. One particular quote from the program struck a chord: Experts in the field of addiction recovery praised the 'Stepping Into Action' program for its holistic approach, emphasizing the importance of addressing underlying emotional and psychological factors.
