Today I spoke with a man named Bill Kinkle.
Bill is a nurse, a paramedic and an advocate working at, what he calls, the intersection of harm reduction and recovery. Bill describes himself as a person in recovery as well (although he's explain that the term recovery probably means something different to him than it does to many others-- this is something we discuss in the interview.)
Unfortunately, Bill lost his nursing license in the process of seeking professional help to overcome an opioid addiction. He and I discuss what may have led to his addiction; we discuss his experience in the treatment system; and we talk about how (and what) he's doing now.
A relevant point: Bill’s worldview, including his religious views, did not jibe with AA, yet he was expected to attend AA in order to regain his nursing license…. This is not only bad practice, but the situation is arguably a violation of Bill’s first amendment right.
Unfortunately, we frequently hear similar stories from our LPP clients.
Lastly, Bill is also the co-host of a show called Health Professionals in Recovery Show, a podcast designed to open the conversation for healthcare professionals experiencing problematic substance use and recovery in a profession that is hostile to drug use.

Welcome to the LPP Podcast.
LPP is the Life Process Program-- an online (NON 12-step) counseling program for people who think they may have addictions, and who want to overcome them from the comfort of their own home.
Today marks the first of our weekly series called Monday Morning Ammunition--- a short and sweet bit of information to inspire you and give you something to think about until next Monday.
In this episode you're hearing from Brooke Feldman, an addiction professional from Philadelphia who overcame both a traumatic childhood-- including legal trouble-- as well as a long-term addiction. In this 10-minute clip Brooke tells me about how she uses her past to her advantage and what she thinks of the term "Recovery."
We hope this episode will bring you tremendous value… Let us know what you think! Write to us at [email protected]

On today's podcast, Dr. Stanton Peele delivers a talk to a group of helping professionals in Galway Ireland.
His keynote addresses the importance of recognizing values-- as well as motivation, skills, connection, purpose, and meaning-- in overcoming addiction. He also fields audience questions and debunks a range of addiction myths.

Today's episode is a throwback!
Dr. Stanton Peele interviews harm-reduction therapists and authors of the book, Over The Influence, Patt Denning and Jeannie Little. These ladies were (and are) at the forefront of commonsense, harm-reduction based therapy-- their ideas closely resemble those of The Life Process Program and we hope this interview brings you value.
