Analysis Paper 4- What is Miller Saying to You? Ed Potter The one point Miller (2012) made that caught my attention was the substantial role he emphasized motivation plays in an individual’s decision to stop using drugs and alcohol. Personally, I always agreed with this thought, however, it was in a different context.
