A Doraville Tale

On August 21, 2022, a local news article shook *John* *Smith* to his core. The article detailed a significant increase in alcohol-related accidents in small towns across the United States. John, who lived in Doraville, New York, read about many close-knit communities facing tragic incidents, and felt an unsettling connection.

*John* had been struggling with alcohol abuse since the sudden death of his father five years ago. The tragic increase in accidents brought back haunting memories of his father's own fatal accident, which was caused by another drunk driver. This triggered a maelstrom of emotions in John, bringing his own struggles with substance abuse to the forefront.

He found solace in understanding his emotions better and slowly began rebuilding his life. One particular piece of advice resonated deeply with him: Progress is a process, not a moment.

Dr. *Anna* *Roberts*, a renowned psychologist specializing in addiction recovery, supported the approach, stating: Positive and sustained change often starts with a profound and unexpected emotional catalyst. However, there was controversy. Dr. *Michael* *James*, another expert in the field, argued: Self-help programs without professional supervision may do more harm than good.
