Nonprofit Overview

Mission: We Are Not A Treatment Center We are a center for hope. We are a community of individuals working together to free ourselves of addiction and learn a new way of life. We are a family of like-minded residents who are ready to make a change, committed to living a clean and sober life, and ready to hold each other accountable. Living Proof Recovery* is a team of individuals who have endured a life of addiction and been renewed in their recovery. They have come together to help others discover a new life for themselves, and to nurture them through the recovery process. We do not 'treat' addiction, we help those who are struggling find the conviction to overcome their struggles and provide them a safe and loving environment during that process. Overcoming addiction takes patience, understanding, tough love and support. We are here to be that for you. If you are ready for a change, ready to start a new way of life- we are here to help you through that. We are not a spa, a lockdown facility or a in-house treatment center. We are a loving community of people dedicated to finding a new life in recovery. If that is what you are looking for, you have found the right place.

Hello! My name Kelli Kimbrell. I have been in We Are Living Proof since November 2020. I have a year clean from all mind altering substances since September 25th 2020. This program has absolutely saved my life. I am so grateful for this new way of life. The staff is absolutely wonderful! Especially David Hunt, Amy Walters, Chris Burns, Ellie Hammett, Randy Craft, and Christy Nemeth! I love them so much. Amazing people. They truly want what’s best for you.

I was addicted to heroin, xanax, and meth. I am a resident at Living Proof. Living Proof has given me the tools to maintain sobriety. Before coming to Living Proof I was homeless, jobless, afraid, and lonely. I have a sponsor I work the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous with. I attend a 12 step meeting everyday and work a "normal" job. Thanks to Living Proof I am learning how to become a responsible productive woman. My relationships with my family and friends is being restored everyday. This place is given me my life back plus the life I only dreamed of. I am excited about my life and my recovery now!

I was addicted to crack, meth, and heroin for 4 years before coming to Living Proof. This program has allowed me to work a successful program of recovery and I now have three months of clean time. This program has absolutely changed my life. Living Proof got me out of the streets and into twelve-step meetings and gainful employment. Before coming to Living Proof I was a part-timer, barely ever paying attention in the meetings and not taking my recovery seriously. Now I treat my recovery just like I would a full-time job and this program has taught me to place my recovery first above anything else in order to succeed.

I truly believe that this program has helped me beyond measure. Living Proof has kept me off the streets, away from drugs, crime-free, and has become a life-changing experience I'll never forget.

I have been to several different sober living places and could not make it ... I have been here almost 60 days now . They care about you and will help in anyway they can ... The best program I have been at and everyone feels like family. They have really changed my life for the better.

When I discovered this program I was beat down and broken. Sick and tired of being sick and tired and I mean literally. The staff here welcomed me with open, loving arms and loved me until I learned to love myself. With that being said they are a no nonsense organization that will not enable distructive behavior while teaching individuals how to use the tools of recovery. Through working a 12 step program I have gained a new way of life and I am forever grateful to this program and these people who not only showed me how to live sober they loved me through it.

I didnt have a relationship with Jesus before I came here but through the 3pm meetings and Life Lessons with Pastor Andy Stanley, I now walk with Christ. Thats the first and foremost thing I have gained with LP.

As with most addicts, my parents eventually stopped messing with me, as was deserved with the stunts that I pulled. Christy and Randy have done a solid and stepped into those roles and helped me work on the relationship that I have mangled. Coming from a program off of Shallowford Access Road, the owner treated me like some junkie profit center and less than a human. My children now call the Director Uncle Randy and I can rest easy knowing he will always be in their lives. Although he is a Cowboys fan, I love the man to death,=.

Heroin is bad in Atlanta, I bounced back between houses for four years before the court mandated to be to care of Mr. Craft. When I first got there, I thought he was just another version of the other Executive Directors that I had been around. That lasted about a day. He is like the father I never had and gave me the tough love and guidance that I apparently required. LOL.

My child was addicted to the heroin for eight years. She now is clean, works a job that Jesus would approve of and has custody of her kids. Thank you Randy and Christy for never giving up!

I was with another sober living program for two years prior to coming to this program roughly eight months ago. While with the other program, I continually used drugs and drank because I was allowed to stay as long as I paid my dues on time or agreed to a fine of sorts. I finally had the gumption to leave the program and follow my friends to SLR after they talked it up for a month and it was the best move I have ever made. I am so happy here and glad I left where I was at, which was just a workcamp at best.
