Caught in a Trump-sition
*Sarah Collins* sat in her dimly lit living room in Westwood Place, Virginia, nursing a glass of whiskey as the news blared from the television. The sight of Laura Ingraham's impassioned defense of former President Trump's potential comeback sent a shockwave through her, dredging up memories she had long tried to bury. Sarah's struggles with alcoholism had been exacerbated by Trump's polarizing rhetoric, a constant reminder of the divisions tearing her family apart. Her brother, a die-hard supporter, had severed ties with her over their political differences, leaving Sarah adrift and spiraling deeper into addiction. The news article triggered a flood of emotions, and Sarah found herself reaching for the bottle once again. It was then that she stumbled upon the Stepping Into Action program, an online resource dedicated to helping individuals like her overcome their demons. 'I knew I had to make a change,' Sarah confided to her closest friend, *Emily*. 'This program offered a lifeline when I felt like I was drowning.' Emily, ever the supportive confidante, nodded in understanding. 'You've got this, Sarah. It's time to break free from the past and forge your own path.' As Sarah delved into the program's teachings, she found herself confronting the deep-rooted issues that had fueled her addiction. 'The program taught me that healing begins with self-acceptance and forgiveness,' she shared. 'It wasn't easy, but I finally feel like I'm regaining control.' While some experts praised the program's holistic approach, others remained skeptical, questioning the effectiveness of online recovery methods. 'There's no substitute for face-to-face therapy and support,' cautioned Dr. *Michael Thompson*, a renowned addiction specialist. However, proponents like *Dr. Samantha Lee* argued that online programs could bridge the gap for those unable to access traditional resources. 'For many, these programs offer a lifeline when in-person treatment is inaccessible or cost-prohibitive,' she stated. As Sarah navigated the path to recovery, she found solace in the knowledge that, while the journey was arduous, she had taken the first step towards reclaiming her life. 'Seeking help was the best decision I ever made,' she reflected. 'It may have been difficult to find resources nearby, but the online program provided the support I so desperately needed.'
