Who is Life Giving Life "The Recovery Project" ?
Life Giving Life is a non-profit dedicated to helping individuals and families with the transition into a life of sobriety.
Life Giving Life "The Recovery Project" provides trauma-informed supports based on the guiding principles that people can and do recover from alcohol and drug addiction and that competence and wisdom reside in those with lived experience. People at all points on the recovery continuum of care are offered the safe, respectful, space to develop healthy relationships, participate in a supportive community, develop new interests, attend alternative healing arts activities, practice new social skills, and hone unique talents. Members of the Life Giving Life community find opportunities to both give and receive support through a variety of educational, volunteer, social, and skill building activities that help to overcome emotional and social isolation, develop strengths, build leadership capacity, and prevent relapse. Information about other community resources that support recovery in all its complexity and forms are always available at the Life Giving Life.
The peer recovery movement is exploding across this country and throughout the world. Our vision is to create a recovery-informed organization and individuals throughout Montgomery County. This net will be ever widening, ever deepening, to allow for sustained recovery by removing barriers that exist via stigma, outdated social policies, antiquated healthcare practices, and commonplace ignorance. We carry hope, opportunity, and experience to anyone seeking help and helping to save lives one life at a time. We, our community and all the people in this community ARE THE SOLUTION!

Sober FUN!!!
Transitioning from our old lifestyles to a new sober lifestyle can be hard. We are trying to build new friendships that are healthy we are also trying to find new things to do that are fun and entertaining in a sober environment. This process can be hard and also scary for some, so it is important for us at LGL to help those new to recovery find a community of safe people they can have fun with and hopefully establish new friendships.
At LGL, we have on going sober fun activities such as BBQ's, Paintball, golf outings, game nights, movie days etc.
Being sober doesn't mean we can't have fun!
