In this short video, addiction psychologist Dr. Stanton Peele explains that people quit addictions by finding ways to live their values (as opposed to simply choosing 'techniques'). He lays out the following points I. Dr. Peele's Uncle Ozzie quits smoking, suddenly II. Such a powerful addiction: how can a person do that (1) oh it's only cigarettes (2) a HIGHER percentage of people quit cocaine heroin alcohol addictions III. Actually, at their basis, THIS is how everyone quits an addiction IV. It's a value statement — not a technique V. What will enable people to quit en masse in today's society: (1) refuting idea that addiction is permanent inescapable disease (2) enabling people to realize valuable lives (3) encouraging responsibility (4) empathy tolerance (5) support community ***** SUBSCRIBE to Our Channel ***** To get more of our content and help us grow: https://www.youtube.com/c/LifeProcessProgram?sub_confirmation=1 ***** FOLLOW us on Social ***** - Facebook: https://facebook.com/lifeprocessprogram - Twitter : https://twitter.com/lifeprocessprgm - Instagram: https://instagram.com/lifeprocessprogram - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/life-process-program ***** CONTACT US ****** - Website: https://lifeprocessprogram.com - Text us: +1 (802) - 391 - 4360 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lifeprocessprogram/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lifeprocessprogram/support

Zach Rhoads and Dr. Stanton Peele contemplate the transfer of knowledge about alcohol from Science to Society — and how imperfectly the job gets done. “Alcohol: Even a Little Bit Is Harmful!” the headline screams. It turns out that none of the experts interviewed advocates abstinence — including the director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (now there's a title!). In fact, those who drink, worldwide, live longer with fewer disabilities than those who never drink, according to WHO. What gives? Is the New York Times guilty of malpractice, or just sowing confusion — especially for older Americans, who benefit the most from drinking. Do we Americans do better simply living and drinking from our core values and lives? Sigh. You're on your own when it comes to deciding to drink (or use drugs) or not. ***** SUBSCRIBE to Our Channel ***** To get more of our content and help us grow: https://www.youtube.com/c/LifeProcessProgram?sub_confirmation=1 ***** FOLLOW us on Social ***** - Facebook: https://facebook.com/lifeprocessprogram - Twitter : https://twitter.com/lifeprocessprgm - Instagram: https://instagram.com/lifeprocessprogram - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/life-process-program ***** CONTACT US ****** - Website: https://lifeprocessprogram.com - Text us: +1 (802) - 391 - 4360 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lifeprocessprogram/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lifeprocessprogram/support

Dr. Stanton Peele and Zach Rhoads respond to listener feedback. First, they inspect the old AA adage, "One day at a time" Then they turn to a case study centered on a former LPP participant (with her permission) -- a case study on overeating and how to manage it in the larger context of a person's life. Finally, they discuss former Genesis drummer Phil Collins' UNREMARKABLE story of natural recovery -- a story that he, himself tells in his memoir as well as this interview: https://www.axs.tv/channel/the-big-interview-with-dan-rather-season-4/video/phil-collins-1/ ***** SUBSCRIBE to Our Channel ***** To get more of our content and help us grow: https://www.youtube.com/c/LifeProcess...

Booze is one of the most ancient and most prolific drugs in society, yet for some reason, it's always placed in some separate category. Drugs and alcohol. Even at Narcotica, we've done over 65 episodes about drugs and not one of them has focused solely on ethanol. We just haven't gotten to it yet, we've... The post Episode 66: Overlooking Alcohol and The Nature of Addiction with Dr. Stanton Peele appeared first on Narcotica.

This is a short clip from Zach Rhoads' forthcoming interview with Dr. Stanton Peele. Stanton wrote the best-selling 1975 book, Love and Addiction, in which he laid out a conceptualization of addiction that transcended the drug-centered conceptualization with which the world was familiar. In this clip, Zach expresses to Stanton how his concept rings true in his own life as he compares his own heroin addiction to destructive relationships with women. Zach runs a thought experiment about how those relationships could have metastasized if he would have pursued them into the future. Stanton responds.

Dr. Stanton Peele takes questions from LPP followers. Today he tackles the concept of moderation, which LPP encourages with respect to drugs, alcohol, or any other involvement that a person may have formed an addictive relationship with. But is there such a thing as an over-emphasis on moderation as an end-goal?

Zach Rhoads joins the Challenging Pathos podcast to discuss all things "out of the box", when it comes to treating addiction. Why do we do the things we do? Why don't we follow the evidence? and What's the cost?

Dr. Stanton Peele and Zach Rhoads discuss Jordan Peterson's work, his views about addiction, and how he handled his own addiction to benzodiazepines (with an understanding that Peterson makes a distinction between "addiction proper" and what he believes was his own "physical dependence"-- a distinction the two discuss in another video). Peterson is an intelligent, compelling, and very famous psychologist whose rise to fame was unexpected, even to him. Much of what he did with that fame was noble-- namely, helping disparaged people "put themselves back together" (his words). On the other hand, Peterson perpetuates mythology as well, including addiction mythology, which Peele and Rhoads tackle in the episode. - - - - - - - - - - Email us - info@lifeprocessprogram.com Text us - +1 (802) - 391 - 4360 LPP MAIN WEB SITE - http://lifeprocessprogram.com Instagram: http://instagram.com/lifeprocessprogram Twitter: http://twitter.com/lifeprocessprgm Facebook: http://facebook.com/lifeprocessprogram --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lifeprocessprogram/message

Dr. Stanton Peele and Zach Rhoads answer the following frequently asked question: Is LPP a “trauma informed program”? They offer a definition of “trauma” in several contexts. Then they discuss differences between traumatic events and adverse conditions in life. Peele and Rhoads also consider what it means to be trauma informed versus believing trauma is responsible for addiction. And, of course, the hosts explain how all of this information applies to their work with clients in the Online Life Process Program.

Questions of family often appear in relation to addiction and drug issues. As with all questions in these areas, discussion is misled by disease beliefs, which leave people muddled and mystified about how to proceed constructively. Nonetheless, basic human values often assert themselves, allowing people— especially young people— to free themselves and to display bravery. Examples in the news are the women in Russian protest group Pussy Riot, Masha Gessen (Russian-American radical journalist) whose son is lost in vicodin, the four granddaughters of Joe Biden, who allowed the president to free america from Trump, and the often absent addicted father Hunter, who almost cost his father the presidency. Today I speak with the creator of the Life Process Program, Dr. Stanton Peele about these current events and how they tie into our work in the Life Process Program.

On today's episode, Dr. Stanton Peele and Zach Rhoads (of the Life Process Program) discuss current events in addiction and harm reduction. The key note: Shia Labeouf's Love Addiction! - - - - - - - - - - Shia Labeouf has made the news for his movies and even for his recovery from alcohol and drugs. Unfortunately, despite years of "programming" for his addiction issues, Labeouf's behavior is still relatively unstable. Zach and Stanton, however, believe that drugs and alcohol are NOT the influence behind the celebrity's recent behavior (driving cars at hundreds of miles per hour with his partner in the from seat and threatening to crash). They believe that this is a result (at least in part) of Labeouf's over-reliance on the women in his life to satisfy his every need (I.e. LOVE ADDICTION) - - - - - - - - - - SUBSCRIBE TO THIS YOUTUBE CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSYr...

Today, I am very pleased to share a conversation with friend, author, podcast host, researcher and counselor, Zach Rhoads. Zach is the host of the podcast “The Social Exchange.” “The Social Exchange” features conversations with prominent thought leaders like Michael Shermer, Johann Hari, Anthony Magnabosco and many more. Zach is also the author of the book, “Outgrowing Addiction,” written with Dr. Stanton Peele, where they make the argument that the disease model of addiction is wrong while also presenting an alternative to the most common addiction rehab program, Alcoholics Anonymous. His book, “Outgrowing Addiction”, and the shortcomings of the mainstream view on addiction are the main topics of focus for this conversation. Here, we discuss the problems with AA and also touch on where it gets things right. We talk about Zach's views on the disease model of addiction and why he believes it's incorrect. We also touch briefly on Zach's own history of addiction to heroin, how he outgrew his addiction, and the role his experience played in developing his ideas about addiction, among other topics.Outgrowing Addiction: https://amzn.to/2MsbrSWThe Social Exchange Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-social-exchange/id1333527133Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1gVfFVRrsxHmBPJHvlmlW0?si=_vzb9JdwQW2rhthgJBPE3AYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7UKA-74CZdv-MimwmK4V0QZach Rhoads Twitter: https://twitter.com/rhoadsodaLife Process Program (an alternative to AA): https://lifeprocessprogram.comZach Rhoads and Dr. Stanton Peele discuss Dax Shepard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THb8OBXERRktheEWpodcast newsletter signup: http://ericwhte.com/newsletter/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ericwhteInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/eric.whte/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw27qaF6r_XdQrzREV21QSAhttp://ericwhte.com/

The actor, podcaster, and AA advocate Dax Shepard has decided to turn his sobriety count from 16 years all the way back to one day. This is the result of a recent decision to take narcotic pain killers off-script. Dr. Stanton Peele and Zach Rhoads discuss why Dax's own personal development is being stymied by 12-step ideology, and why he either cannot OR refuses to acknowledge that fact. - - - - - - - - - - (Part I -- Current Events) Dr. Peele and Zach Rhoads begin the show by reviewing some recent current events in addiction, harm reduction and psychology. 0:00 - 6:20 Zach discussed an article from Filter Magazine (written by Sessi Kuwabara Blanchard) regarding a new plan by the DEA to expand patient surveillance for drug takers. https://filtermag.org/dea-expand-patient-surveillance/ 6:20 - 12:50 Stanton talks about a recent New York Times article about happiness, depression and suicide. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/24/opinion/happiness-depression-suicide-psychology.html - - - - - - - - - - (Part II -- The Dax Shepard Story) 12:50 - End Today's main story centers around the recent relapse admission of actor, podcaster, and 12-step advocate, Dax Shepard. After 16 years of total abstinence from alcohol and illicit substances, Dax decided to take prescription pain-killers, first as prescribed at first, but then off-script. Stanton and Zach believe that Dax's reasons for initially using prescription narcotics were perfectly logical-- he used them for pain and he used them to feel well! The hosts also believe that Dax -- even though he eventually used the drugs in a less-than-healthful way-- could have prevented the downsides of his drug use if only he were able to be honest about it (i.e. not felt shame over having used them in the first place). Unfortunately, due to the AA-inspired restrictions that Dax imposed on himself, and the promises that Dax had made to the world (to his fans, to his AA buddies, and to the people in his life), Dax was left needing to hide his drug-taking experience. He was afraid that telling anybody his thought process around taking drugs (to prevent pain and to feel well-- sheesh!) that he would be swiftly rejected an addict who had no control over himself. In reality, Dax probably would have taken the drugs responsibly, and without fearing addiction, if only he had felt comfortable sharing his true thoughts and feelings about the drugs in the first place. But because he's prioritized his allegiance to AA dogma (rather than common sense), Dax isolated himself and played into his assigned identity as a life-long addict. Zach recounts the celebrity's relapse story, as told by Dax Shepard himself on his "Armchair Expert" podcast. Then Stanton and Zach tell a counter-factual version of the story-- a version in which Dax Shepard took an LPP-mindset of life-engagement,, connection, and personal responsibility, instead of an AA-mindset of powerlessness, and victimhood. - - - - - - - - - - FOLLOW US AT THE LIFE PROCESS PROGRAM LPP MAIN WEB SITE - https://lifeprocessprogram.com Instagram: http://instagram.com/lifeprocessprogram Twitter: http://twitter.com/lifeprocessprgm Facebook: http://facebook.com/lifeprocessprogram Email us - info@lifeprocessprogram.com Text us - +1 (802) - 391 - 4360 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lifeprocessprogram/message

Dr. Stanton Peele is the founder and creator of the Life Process Program: http://LifeProcessProgram.com - - - - - - - - - - Dr. Peele and Zach Rhoads return for episode 6 of "Sundays With Stories". They select two more prominent non-12-step “recovery” stories — these with “addicts” who, themselves, were earmarked for hell — Lindsay Lohan and Robert Downey Jr. Lohan seemed doomed by her alcoholism (according not only to her father, but seemingly Oprah). She instead partnered in a group of beach clubs, made borscht and helped her mom and younger siblings. Downey, who was really at the bottom of the well after years of turmoil, drug use, and coerced rehab, in his late thirties had a Jewish wedding which did the trick. (Dr. Peele actually met Mr. Levin, his father-in-law, in a hotel breakfast line.) Zach and Stanton do these stories in anticipation of a podcast Ethan Nadelmann has solicited Dr. Peele's inputs for, in which he will interview famous drug users. Not hobnobbing with the famous, they instead use public material to describe famous people’s paths to recovery, starting with Drew Barrymore. (In future episodes Zach will interview regular people about their drug use.)

In today's program we continue our series on the conservation of humanity, today delving into the subject matter of addiction treatment. Joining us for today's episode is Mr. Zach Rhoads, an addiction treatment coach from the Life Process Program. The Life Process Program was designed and developed by the eminent Dr. Stanton Peele, the world's leading authority on non-12 step addiction recovery. Dr. Peele is a world-renowned addiction expert, author and therapist, who has remained prominently at the forefront of the addiction field for nearly five decades, challenging and changing the way people understand addiction and recovery. The Life Process Program works with the idea that addiction occurs with a range of experiences, a recognition of the possibility of natural recovery from addiction, and the harm reduction approach to addiction. Mr Rhoads once battled addictions of his own, including a destructive involvement with opiates. He now lives a healthy and happy life with his wife and daughter in Vermont. Zach is a columnist for Filter Magazine, and together with Dr. Peele co-authoured the book “Outgrowing Addiction with common sense instead of Disease Therapy”. Zach is also a broadcaster being the host of The Social Exchange podcast, and he looks after the Life Process Program Podcast.

Today, Dr. Stanton Peele and Zach Rhoads talk about two popular shows and their satire of standard AA / Trauma addition theories. The two shows are "South Park" (a classic episode poking fun at AA) and "The Good Place"-- which is, in essence, a show that pokes fun at the idea of over-focusing on past events, as per the extremes of Trauma Theory.

In today's program we continue our series on the conservation of humanity, today delving into the subject matter of addiction and substance use disorders, and the pathways to recovery. Joining us for today's episode is Dr. Stanton Peele. Dr Peele has been a leading global figure in the field of addiction, and addiction recovery for 50 years now. Dr. Peele earned his Ph.D. in social psychology from the University of Michigan in 1973. After earning his J.D. from the Rutgers School of Law in Newark in 1997, Dr Peele was admitted to the New York and New Jersey bars. Dr. Peele has been a pioneer in applying addiction beyond the area of drugs and alcohol, identifying the social-environmental causes of addiction, harm reduction policies, and the self-cure of addiction. Since the publication of his first book Love and Addiction in 1975, he has presented his ideas and data in a series of twelve books and over 250 professional and popular articles. His thoughts have appeared in the major social, scientific, psychological, and addiction journals.

Dr. Peele lectures internationally on the meaning, treatment, and future of addiction. For more information on Dr. Peele and his programs please visit: Dr. Peele's website Life Process Program

Welcome to Episode 34! In this episode of Sundays With Stories, Dr. Stanton Peele and Zach Rhoads tell the not-so-recovery stories of two ultra-famous musical legends, Elton John and Bob Weir. Some key notes from the episode: I. Addiction and recovery narratives, and why people adopt them II. There is a Grateful Dead / Jerry Garcia narrative which may be more or less true. But it wasn’t true for Robert Hunter (who died last December), and ceased to be true for Bob Weir. And, when tells his truth, he speaks of the burden — not of drugs — but of expressing his counternarrative. III. Elton John movie, Rocketman, does the recovery narrative in spades (being a musician = addict; rehab). But in an interview before movie release with Bernie Taupin, he says (a) music saved him (purpose), and (b) he developed a purpose (AIDS) after meeting Ryan White, before he ever went to rehab. IV. Fitting into the narrative, for oneself and for others. What is lost — a person’s greatest asset — their self. V. Implications for treatment, raising children in families with addictive histories — what narrative will they learn? - - - - - - - - - - Email us - info@lifeprocessprogram.com Text us - +1 (802) - 391 - 4360 LPP MAIN WEB SITE - http://lifeprocessprogram.com Instagram: http://instagram.com/lifeprocessprogram Twitter: http://twitter.com/lifeprocessprgm Facebook: http://facebook.com/lifeprocessprogram --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lifeprocessprogram/message

Welcome to episode 33! This episode is the audio version of a new weekly segment, produced by LPP and hosted by Stanton Peele and Zach Rhoads, called "Sundays With Stories" Each week, Zach and Stanton tell the story of a celebrity-- well, COUNTER-recovery story. That is: they tell the stories of celebrities who outgrow their addictions, and whose stories actually oppose the standard addiction and recovery bromides that we've all been told. This week's celebrity: Drew Barrymore! (More on "Sundays with Stories" below): - - - - - - - - - - Stanton Peele and Zach Rhoads, an addiction and a child development specialist respectively, converse about the realities of addiction and substance misuse in their Sunday conversations. Stanton and Zach work together in the on-line Life Process Program and in publications like Outgrowing Addiction: With Common Sense Instead of "Disease" Therapy. Their Sunday conversations tap into this overwhelming truth: people have the capacity to overcome addiction. And, in fact (like Zach himself) they regularly do so. How do we know? All life studies of people's substance use show that people successfully come to grips with their addictions. Moreover, people all around you can tell you tales of such natural, developmental recovery. Only they're not "allowed" to tell their stories, for fear of offending the dysfunctional, but all-powerful, recovery community. This reticence extends to the highest levels of media and culture. (Do you know that progressive stalwart Kurt Andersen dutifully explained that George W. Bush invaded Iraq because he quit drinking without AA, and was thus permanently trapped in denial?) Among the many examples of this self-censorship are the cultural icon Drew Barrymore, who People labelled, age 13, America's youngest addict. Barrymore wrote Little Girl Lost, published at age 15, after she had entered rehab and subsequently attempted suicide. But Drew grew up by the time she reached her twenties, then went on to found a winery and become a caring mother and Hollywood power player. Apologizing for “not being in recovery” (she enjoys wine), Drew can only hint at the developmental course that has freed her and the vast majority of those with addictive problems.

Welcome to episode 29! Today's guest is LPP's own Dee Cloward. Dee has been a Life Process Program coach for four years now. Prior to that, she was with SMART Recovery for 15 years in many capacities, primarily as a volunteer, and served there as Program Manager for Court Outreach and Special Events Coordinator, and Director of Training to mention just a few. She was highly beloved in the online community and beyond and continues to facilitate SMART meetings locally in the county jail and online. In addition, she has her own small local coaching business in Cincinnati. Dee had a highly turbulent although largely functional life for many years before ultimately finding recovery and joy in life with SMART Recovery over 15 years ago. She is an example of how well online ONLY recovery can work. She beat addiction without in-person meetings, AA (or other 12-step groups), therapy, inpatient or outpatient treatment. She has remained abstinent from alcohol (as well as drugs to which she's had unhealthy attachments in the past) for 11 years. That's something we discuss today-- why it is important for her, personally, to remain abstinent from those substances and involvements, and why she doesn't always necessarily recommend this approach for all. Some other relevant topics from today's discussion: - We talk about her background and personal professional / personal addiction experiences - We talk about her finding SMART Recovery— which is a non 12-step support group, that functions similarly to the Life Process Program. Actually, I ask her to compare and contrast SMART and the Life Process Program— something she does well while honoring the nuance. - She tells me the story of meeting Stanton Peele and later working with him. - We also talk about important differences between abstinence from alcohol and drugs versus drinking and using drugs moderately - And she also distinguishes moderation from harm reduction. All of that and more on episode 29 of the LPP Podcast with Dee Cloward. - - - - - - - - - - Visit Dee's web site for articles and to inquire about 1-1 coaching: http://recoverydee.com Archives from the SMART podcast, hosted by Dee : http://smartrecovery.libsyn.com - - - - - - - - - - Follow / Contact The Life Process Program Email us - info@lifeprocessprogram.com Text us - +1 (802) - 391 - 4360 LPP MAIN WEB SITE - http://lifeprocessprogram.com Instagram: http://instagram.com/lifeprocessprogram Twitter: http://twitter.com/lifeprocessprgm Facebook: http://facebook.com/lifeprocessprogram --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lifeprocessprogram/message

Blog Talk Radio Safe Recovery podcast created by Filmmaker, activist, victims advocate,  Monica Richardson hosts this 1 hour show- this week with author Stanton Peele. Join us as we take on the Addiction Recovery Industry. Stanton Peele, Ph. D., J.D., is a licensed psychologist, attorney, practicing psychotherapist and the author of books and articles on the subject of alcoholism, addiction and addiction treatment. Wikipedia Stanton Peele has been a cutting-edge figure in the addiction field for four decades.  Since publishing (with Archie Brodsky) Love and Addiction in 1975, Stanton has been a leader in virtually every development in the field: that 12-step, AA treatment is not the be-all and end-all and that practical life-management therapies are most effective; that people's self-empowerment, values, and purpose in life (as opposed to seeing themselves as powerless) can be the light out of the tunnel; and that people generally don't get better all at once, but make gradual improvements (called harm reduction) in their lives that lead them out of addiction.  Along the way, Stanton has written 12 books (including The Meaning of Addiction, Diseasing of America, The Truth About Addiction and Recovery, 7 Tools to Beat Addiction, and Addiction-Proof Your Child) and 250 professional articles, won numerous awards (including from the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs and the Drug Policy Alliance -- the leading drug policy reform organization in America), and created the Life Process Program for addiction treatment, which continues to be utilized worldwide. Ilse Thompson, co-founder of the blog Stinkin-Thinkin: Muckraking the 12 Step Treatment Industry, is a writer and editor living in Portland, Oregon.

Wikipedia Stanton Peele has been a cutting-edge figure in the addiction field for four decades.  Since publishing (with Archie Brodsky) Love and Addiction in 1975, Stanton has been a leader in virtually every development in the field: that 12-step, AA treatment is not the be-all and end-all and that practical life-management therapies are most effective; that people's self-empowerment, values, and purpose in life (as opposed to seeing themselves as powerless) can be the light out of the tunnel; and that people generally don't get better all at once, but make gradual improvements (called harm reduction) in their lives that lead them out of addiction.  Along the way, Stanton has written 12 books (including The Meaning of Addiction, Diseasing of America, The Truth About Addiction and Recovery, 7 Tools to Beat Addiction, and Addiction-Proof Your Child) and 250 professional articles, won numerous awards (including from the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs and the Drug Policy Alliance -- the leading drug policy reform organization in America), and created the Life Process Program for addiction treatment, which continues to be utilized worldwide. Ilse Thompson, co-founder of the blog Stinkin-Thinkin: Muckraking the 12 Step Treatment Industry, is a writer and editor living in Portland, Oregon.

Zach Rhoads is a counselor who works with families and children. Along with the psychologist Stanton Peele he has coauthored Outgrowing Addiction, a new book that explains why a developmental model of the disorder makes more sense than the disease model. The book draws on Zach's personal experience with addiction and on his work with children in highlighting the often overlooked fact that the natural course of addiction, like with childhood behavioral issues, is to grow out it. Zach also hosts The Social Exchange podcast, which I have previously been a guest on.

Dr. Stanton Peele is a prominent, outspoken critic of the disease model of addiction and the author of over a dozen books (most recently, Recover!: Stop Thinking Like an Addict and Reclaim Your Life with The PERFECT Program). Join us for a very personal conversation about addiction, the treatment industrial complex, and the dubious joys of writing for a living. Subscribe at chrisryan.substack.com
