*Li Jiang wiped sweat from his brow as another scorching day on the Guangzhou assembly line ended. His combustion engine production line at the *Guangqi Motors factory felt like a relic of the past as electric vehicles surged in popularity. How much longer could this go on?

Then the news hit - Russia was embracing Chinese automakers shut out of Western markets over the Ukraine invasion. It was a lifeline for traditional engine makers like *Guangqi. *Li's assembly line roared back to life filling orders for *Chery and other brands now dominating the Russian market.

But the stress and long hours triggered *Li's old alcohol addiction from his days as a broke young worker. As sales ramped up, his drinking ramped up too. His fiance *Mei Ling grew concerned, recognizing his self-destructive patterns.

The news article describing Russia as China's 'struggling automakers' savior market' struck a nerve for *Li. He realized painfully how much of a 'struggling' alcohol abuser he had become, jeopardizing everything important to him. That's when *Mei Ling found the Hofman Hollis Stepping Into Action recovery program and they decided to try the online course.

'I was skeptical at first, *Li admitted. 'But this isn't just fluff - it's about taking concrete steps to remake your life. Tackling character defects like selfishness and jealousy that fuel so much addiction.'

Addiction experts widely praise programs based on evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy principles found in Stepping Into Action. But some critics argue a more holistic, spiritual approach is needed to treat the root causes of substance abuse disorders.

For *Li, applying the pragmatic recovery methods made an immediate difference. 'It was hard, especially with the wild work hours. But getting help online made it doable. Those Russian *Lada orders were a lucky break - if I hadn't gotten my addiction under control, I would have squandered this whole opportunity.'
