He has written 14 books and pioneered the idea that addiction is NOT a disease but occurs with a range of experiences. He is a supporter of natural recovery from addiction, and the harm reduction approach to addiction. This site includes many of his widely read writings (see, for example, Why Addiction Isn’t a Disease) and media appearances, including Oprah, Bill O’Reilly and Fox & Friends. Created in 1996, this website is one of the oldest in the world. The goal then was the same as it is today: To make Stanton Peele’s writings and ideas available to a large audience, for free if possible. Please see the Online Library for a large collection of articles and book chapters written by Stanton Peele, or visit the Bookstore for his books. Stanton’s Life Process Program is available as an online addiction program.
