this is from the ALPP website:
The Life Process Program©, offered exclusively at ALPP Institute, was developed in 1991 by pioneering psychologist Dr. Stanton Peele. Dr. Peele was one of the first researchers to identify and develop a non-disease model for addiction recovery. The Life Process Program© has been continually enhanced with the latest in techniques based on the most current scientific research.

The Life Process Program© offers an alternative to 12-step drug rehab and alcoholism treatment programs. Unlike traditional drug and alcohol rehab centers, you now have a choice for permanent recovery from drug or and alcohol abuse.

“The Life Process Program© shows you how to touch base with your values and inventory your resources and assets – the positive things you come with…. This is accomplished through behavior modification training, life-skills exercises and Cognitive Behavior Training (CBT) – all of which I have written exclusively for the ALPP Institute. That is why I believe that the Life Process Program© is the most advanced addiction-prevention program now available in the U.S.”

Question by jlarsen4: I quit using drugs 10 years ago. Do I need relapse over and over again in order to be considered an addict?
I quit using drugs the first time I really tried which was over 10 years ago. I have several addict friends who question whether or not I am an addict. I don’t need that label and frankly can live without it, however, I work in substance abuse treatment and feel strongly that addicts can overcome active addiction without having to go through relapse after relapse. Your thoughts?

Answer by Ron
I’m a recovering alcoholic (3years dry next monday), it is my and others in AA that you can label yourself what you like.

When you were an addict, did you or are you a member of NA or CA?, the reason I ask is this sort of question crops up quite often at my AA meetings and the general consensus is that as I said you can call yourself what you like.

I went into rehab in 2006 and was told that I was an alcoholic for life in that I could never safely drink again, the same goes for drugs, which is why it surprised me when I went to some AA meetings and some people introduced themselves as ‘recovered’ alcoholics, they explained that they had recovered from the ‘mental obsession’ of alcohol, it’s printed inside the cover of ‘Alcoholics Anonymous “The story of how many thousands of men have recovered from alcoholism”‘, the same book that’s used in NA and CA.

I don’t think it’s anything to do with relapsing, just keep strong and don’t forget those organisations that are there to help you.

I have friends who are alcoholics as well, I never preach to them but offer advice if asked.
