We just honored our largest graduating class ever with 39 men and 17 women celebrating their new lives of sobriety.
To those who answered call 20 years ago, thank you for Lifeline vision and fortitude
Two decades can feel like a long time.
My husband and I just celebrated 22 years of marriage, a milestone we sometimes thought impossible in our early years. Anyone who has stayed in a marriage or a job or even a house for two decades knows about the challenges of longevity.
FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Ashley Miller 2014 Graduate of Lifeline
As we celebrate Lifeline’s 20-year anniversary, my own story makes me realize the depth and breadth of Lifeline’s accomplishment. Not only have I spent 22 years in a marriage, but also I’ve been at Lifeline for 10 years – half of its existence. I went through my own healing here, before grasping the tremendous opportunity to serve here. Lifeline changed my own life, and I am here to walk with others seeking to change theirs.
For our organization, hitting that 20-year mark doesn’t just happen. Just like in marriage, Lifeline’s duration requires much of the same commitment. You must have a firm foundation in God, you must be intentional about your mission and you must invest in your goal. Some days, you just have to persevere, trusting God to get you through. And, hallelujah, we serve a God of second chances!
As we do with our own personal milestones, this anniversary is a good time to reflect on where we’ve been and where we’re going.
In our two decades, Lifeline has added facilities and campuses. We have expanded services, added staff and set higher standards for our program. Most importantly, Lifeline has become a haven where graduates and supportive community partners can flourish and reach their potential. As our lighthouse logo reminds us, we are a beacon of light to those who have lost their way.
Just in the last year alone, we have embarked on a historic journey with staff by introducing a comprehensive benefits package. We have added a CFO and a nurse. This is a great place to work, and it’s a great place to recover! This year, 56 people – our largest graduating class yet – crossed that stage to enter their new sober lives.
Where do we go from here? What does our community need? How can we serve people better who are trying to get sober and become productive members of our community? We are constantly working to answer those questions.
We have the staff and the board members and the community partners to help us find the answers. Exciting days are ahead.
But for today, let’s celebrate Lifeline’s remarkable achievements. Countless souls, families, workplaces and communities have experienced the miracle of recovery and its impact. None of this would have been possible without the obedience of those who answered the call 20 years ago.
For that, we thank each one who had the vision and the fortitude to create and sustain Lifeline. And we thank God.
Ashley Miller, Executive Director
As Lifeline celebrates serving more than 2,000 people in the last two decades, I think about time. How it flies, how we waste it, how we save it. And with birthdays and anniversaries, like Lifeline’s 20th, how we mark it.
Humorist Art Buchwald expounded upon Dicken’s famous quote, “Whether it’s the best of times or the worst of times, it’s the only time we’ve got.”
As many of us pandemic survivors do, I mark my early days at Lifeline with the start of COVID in 2020. Some would say those were the worst of times, but we spent that time planning for better ways to help those battling addiction to begin their sobriety journey.
It’s a blessing to see how that plan has changed Lifeline in four years:
• Staff increased from 12 to 44, including credentialed clinical staff, a CFO and fundraising program coordinator.
• The men’s campus moved to The Ranch, 45 acres in Ballard County outfitted perfectly for us, and the women’s campus moved to Morgan Lane.
• Our long-term residential recovery program has attained national accreditation and state licensure, thereby qualifying for insurance reimbursement, which has diversified revenue.
• Employees now get benefits – medical insurance, retirement, life insurance – and a competitive wage.
• Twenty-five local employers now hire our graduates.
Most of those accomplishments are the direct result of strategic planning four years ago.
“The bad news is time flies,” motivational speaker Michael Altshuler says. “The good news is you’re the pilot.”
Steve Powless Former Chair & CEO of CSI
We are the pilots. Setting our course through strategic planning is critical, so we are in the midst of adopting a new plan. Where will we be three years from now?
We thank the board, the staff, the volunteers and the donors, all of whom contribute to our success. And we thank all of those who came before us, those whose vision 20 years ago started a faith-based residential recovery program here.
Now, we PLAN to meet the needs set before us. That means we are taking action to make it so.
We hope you’ll join us at our annual banquet June 27 to see how you can be part of the exciting plans ahead.
Pope John Paul II said, “The future starts today, not tomorrow.” With your help, we are ready for that future now.
Lifeline has been working over the past few months with a nonprofit consultant to create a new strategic plan to guide us through 2027. We have gathered input from community leaders, Lifeline staff, board members, key volunteers and donors. The new plan will be completed this summer.
While Lifeline and other organizations offer a variety of treatment options, Melissa May believes more are needed to meet the unique challenges of women in recovery.
Melissa, a recovery coach and a mother in recovery herself, says her own experience and that of many women she has worked with have revealed that women in recovery face unique challenges:
• Many have been abused, some held against their will and some bound to a toxic relationship that feeds their addiction.
• They worry about their children if they seek help for their addiction. Will they lose them? Who will care for them while the mother gets the treatment she needs?
• Women respond when they find treatment options that meet their specific needs with compassion, without judgment or enabling.
Even when women decide to seek and then find treatment, they face a long road after going into recovery.
“When she completes treatment, she will then pack up her belongings, find transportation either home to pack up her kids and take them home, or to sober living, depending on her further need for accountability,” Melissa said. “Once this is all completed, she will still have a long road ahead of her to stay on the right track to recovery … and hopefully to regain her life as a sober woman.”
Lifeline, which began residential treatment for women as Ladies Living Free in 2005, recognizes the special challenges for women. After six to eight months of residential treatment, Lifeline offers transitional living as a next step on its women’s Morgan Lane campus, giving women time to start preparing for life on their own.
JOHN W. BRAZZELL, M.D.
Volunteer Medical Consultant at Lifeline Physician at Kentucky Care
Transitional housing on both the men’s and women’s campuses gives Lifeline clients the opportunity to work during the day and come back to their Lifeline family for support and accountability at night. As they prepare for life on their own, they work on getting transportation (getting their driver’s license, buying a car) and finding a safe place to live.
Lifeline executive director Ashley Miller, herself a woman in recovery, agrees with Melissa’s assessment, noting the organization is working to expand opportunities, including longer residential options and outpatient care, for those living in recovery.
Medically, these are sound plans to reduce relapse and to continue that sense of community, which everyone in recovery needs.
Addiction to opioids and drug overdose deaths continue to devastate families and communities in the U.S.: 107,000 Americans in 2021, with 2250 from Kentucky. That’s 6 of our Kentucky neighbors every day.
Just imagine.
Imagine the hard work of getting sober, learning to follow your program and working with your sponsor to get clean. Imagine doing that in a substance-free environment surrounded by those who support your journey. Everything seems to be going great. You’ve turned the corner.
Until you go back to your old life with your old friends and the old pressures of making a living and getting along with people from your past.
For many, that’s the critical time — the time when many recovering addicts relapse. Back to old life, back to old ways.
Jeff Mohler knows all about it.
He did it many times. Each time ended with another stint in jail and another chance to start over. “When I got out, I’d go straight home to the same place where I struggled with addiction,” he said. “Jumping right back into that life can be stressful. It wasn’t long until I’d be right back in the same cycle.”
Jeff Mohler, a construction worker, stayed in transitional living with his peers before moving out on his own. Men in transitional living use this time after treatment to prepare to live independently.
After entering Lifeline in 2022 and leaving a year later, including six months in transitional living, Jeff finally broke that cycle.
“This was the first time I did transitional living,” Jeff said. “It kept me connected to recovery while slowly integrating back into regular life.”
Transitional living at Lifeline provides clients a residential option after they complete the first two phases of inpatient long-term treatment. Clients can choose at that time to move off campus or stay on campus in a different dorm, surrounded by others in the same stage, with freedom to leave campus to go to work.
Men and women in transitional living work off campus during the day and return to our campuses in the evening to benefit from accountability with their peers. They study, engage in recreation, cook and prepare for living independently.
Robbie Sewell, clinical services director at Lifeline, said Jeff’s success is common in transitional living.
“Transitional living is different from going back home,” she said.
“It offers routine and accountability which they may not have at home. Everyone learns the importance of a routine during treatment – it’s the same every day, what they need to do, what they need to accomplish. If they vary from that, there’s accountability. The minute someone gets out of their routine or starts a behavior that’s risky, their peers hold them accountable.”
Family, even those who are well-meaning, may be less likely than peers to hold those in recovery accountable. “Some fear that if they ask their loved one if something’s going on,” Robbie said, “they’ll get angry and go use.”
Jeff, 41, struggled with addiction about 20 years before getting sober in October 2021. His treatment at Lifeline was not his first attempt to get sober, but it
was the successful one – for two primary reasons.
“The spiritual part of Lifeline really helped me take the next step and stay sober,” he said. “Getting back in touch with God helped open my mind and get me back on track.”
Then, the time and support in transitional living kept him on track until he could get back on his feet – financially and emotionally. “I’ve gotten a job and a home. It was important for me to stay close to recovery, so I moved nearby and still work parttime at Lifeline.”
Transitional living helped him with more than getting sober. “Having somewhere to stay rooted while I integrated back into normal life gave me time - not just to get clean from a substance, but also to learn how to have relationships with people and follow a schedule.”
He’s grateful for Lifeline’s transitional living on his road to recovery. “It helped me slowly get my feet on solid ground,” he said.
Unlike many of Lifeline’s supporters, Kevin Gaunce did not know anyone personally affected by drug or alcohol addiction when he started volunteering at Lifeline a decade ago.
What he has learned from spending time each month with the men and women of Lifeline, however, has taught him an important lesson:
“We are all addicted to something,” he said, “even if it’s not a chemical addiction, we are all broken.”
Working to heal brokenness has brought a new dimension to his ministry and to that of his congregation of about 100 people at Grace Fellowship Church. They support other community ministries, such as Community Kitchen, Starfish and Hope Unlimited, to pool resources accomplishing more together than they could alone.
Grace Fellowship provides monthly visits for dinner, fellowship and faith-sharing at Lifeline.
Of the many success stories Kevin has witnessed, he is most touched by the evolution of many clients into Lifeline leaders. “So many of the leaders, from the director down, have gone through the program since we were there,” he said. “To see them not only in recovery, but also in leadership now is a really sweet picture.”
Kevin and his wife, Jennifer, have begun a new ministry to enhance professional development for the Lifeline leaders with quarterly retreats. “We want to pour into those who are pouring themselves into this ministry,” he said.
As a pastor, Kevin said he continues to learn from his time with Lifeline staff and clients. “We talk about being fishers of men for the Kingdom, but we hadn’t really connected with the idea that the bait on the hook is love. We want to be kind-hearted with sincere authentic love, and this is a tangible expression of Jesus’ love.”
Kevin, a retired FedEx driver, spent many years making FedEx deliveries part-time, while serving also as a
pastor. The combination worked for him as he used his time in the truck to pray and listen to Bible lessons. “I got my Bible degree from the ‘sanctuary’ of my truck,” he said.
Looking back on his nearly 40-year career and years of Lifeline service, he said he would not have anticipated the exact direction his life would take, back in 1986 when he graduated with a business degree from Murray State. “I wouldn’t have done it any other way,” he said. “God called me for this path.”
Now recovered,
During 25 tangled and mangled years of addiction, homelessness, abuse, lost parents, lost custody, abortions, eight rehab centers and many jail sentences, Renee McKnight’s story has so many sad twists and turns that even she can’t remember them all. When all was said and done, she weighed barely 100 pounds and was covered in needle marks.
She doesn’t want your pity, however.
“God doesn’t waste anything,” she said. “He can use all that to help other people.”
Renee, now 45, is celebrating four years of sobriety of sobriety and a new life – a college degree, a good job, reunion with her family. She is a case manager at Ohio River Health Corp. in Bowling Green and spends her spare time in jail ministry and church evangelism. She is one of a small percentage of Lifeline graduates from outside the Purchase area, having lived in Scottsville most of her adult life, following a childhood in Ohio. Lifeline executive director Ashley Miller said the center accepts clients from other regions when space is available.
“We are proud to serve anyone,” Miller said, “because addiction doesn’t have any boundaries.”
Ashley and Renee became fast friends in 2015 after Ashley had graduated from Lifeline and met the
new client with many similarities to her own story –watching loved ones die of overdose, losing children during addiction, and still, somehow, finding the strength to survive, with the help of Lifeline’s faithbased, long-term residential recovery program.
Lifeline was Renee’s 8th rehab facility, a string which had included long- and short-term secular programs. The difference in Lifeline’s long-term residential treatment was the focus on Christ.
“I felt like I was at home,” Renee said. “God began to finish the work he’d started on me. I began to get grounded. I bonded with so many of the staff, who went the extra mile for me.”
Lifeline also offered support through a variety of classes that she’d never encountered, such as how to survive trauma, budgeting and after-care. “It is a full spectrum of everything one needs to be successful,” Renee said.
And she realized she was finally in the right place to turn her life around.
“I was on the run and facing more jail time,” she recalls, “but I heard that small, still voice of God saying, ‘if you’ll turn yourself in, I’ll have your back.’ I did, and God literally picked me up and put me where I was supposed to be, at Lifeline.”
2015 graduate says Lifeline offers ‘full spectrum of everything one needs to be successful.’
Wayne and Sherry Golightly have been involved in their hometown of Paducah all their lives – him as a former accountant and now an entrepreneur, her as a former hospital dietitian and now pastor, both supporting their churches and organizations, such as Paducah Cooperative Ministry, West Kentucky United Methodist Family Services and Hope That Binds.
About a year ago, they became Lifeline donors.
“Addiction is such a large problem in this area,” said Sherry, whose brother, the late Sonny Boss, sought treatment for alcohol addiction at Lifeline many years ago. “This is a way for us to reach out to help people get their lives in order.”
Wayne and Sherry Golightly support Lifeline’s mission and its people.
“This is a way for us to reach out to help people get their lives in order.”
After knowing about Lifeline many years ago through that family connection, they reconnected last year at a couple of events and became donors. In addition to supporting Lifeline’s annual operations, they also plan to support long-term campaigns for its growth.
Wayne said they support Lifeline because they believe not only in its mission, but also in its people. They know many Lifeline leaders and board members to be “trustworthy and upstanding people,” attributes they find essential in an organization’s efficiency and integrity.
Sherry, pastor at Arcadia Methodist Church, said they feel called to help their community when they can. “Luke 12:48 says, ‘To whom much is given, much will be required.’ We’ve been so blessed, so it’s our responsibility to help others.”
Like many volunteers before they start, Heather Taylor had many reasons for NOT volunteering.
• She’s a busy mother of three.
• She helps her husband arrange international mission trips to provide eye care.
• They’re involved at their church, Heartland.
• She’d never taught adults before.
• She didn’t know much about addiction.
All were good reasons to say, “No, thank you,” when her friend asked her to teach a Bible class for women at Lifeline. “This was way out of my comfort zone,” she said, “but I felt like God was saying, ‘You should do this.’ “
So, she said yes.
For several years now, Heather has spent Wednesday afternoons with co-teacher Vicki Gough, teaching “The Life of Jesus Christ” to women in the first phase of their residential treatment.
“I just fell in love with watching the transformation of these women during this class,” she said.
First, she got to know her class. “They’re just people … in hard circumstances,” she said. “I was surprised, though, at how young many of them are when they’re first exposed to drugs and alcohol. As a parent, it scares me.”
For 13 weeks, the class covers the life of Christ, from his birth to the resurrection. Depending on their admission date to Lifeline, the women may enter in the middle of the sequence, but they get all 13 lessons in some order.
Some of the women have faith backgrounds, some do not. “Most of them are overwhelmed when they realize what Jesus did for them.”
The women’s questions and responses can vary initially. “Sometimes they’re skeptical coming in, but it brings so much joy to see the light bulb go off,”
Heather admits she didn’t know what to expect when she began teaching the class, but now she knows to expect that God will change lives.
She has seen women complete the program and go on to be successful, reuniting with their families and getting jobs. Some of them even work now for Lifeline. “The first time I saw that, it really solidified that this is very important volunteer work,” she said.
Important and gratifying work.
Heather recommends it to others. “These ladies are so thankful that people care enough to give their time,” she said, “and it is a blessing to me every week. The highlight of my week is spending time with them.”
Heather said. “They’re so hungry for the Word, and I teach the Word.”
Lifeline’s annual banquet on June 27 will celebrate its 20-year anniversary with plenty of success stories from the past and a look ahead with a major announcement.
“Every annual banquet is a special time for us to come together with our supporters and celebrate the many lives we have seen changed in the last year,” said executive director Ashley Miller, “but this year’s event promises to be one for the history books, setting us on a course for the future with a major announcement.”
Board member Bonnie Schrock will emcee. Graduates Ryan Beavers (story below) and Anna Yontz, 2018 graduate now head of sales operations at FitHearing, will share their testimonies of recovery and sobriety.
Ryan Beavers, 2008 graduate, will speak at the annual banquet. He is pictured here with his mother, Teresa.
Brooklin Preston also will speak about the difference she experienced in her family after her mother, Billie Preston, now program director, went through recovery at Lifeline. Miller will recap the last year, and board chair Steve Powless will share the board’s direction to meet future challenges.
Doors open at 5 pm with the program beginning at 5:30 pm on June 27 at First Baptist Church’s Great Room.
Tickets are $50 each, or $25 for Lifeline graduates
Table sponsorships are $1,000 to $5,000.

CHANGED LIFE, CHANGED FAMILY
From hundreds helped at Lifeline over two decades, this Crittenden County family takes it personally
One of Lifeline’s earliest success stories, Ryan Beavers of Crittenden County, believes his time at Lifeline 18 years ago is the reason he is where is today: A man with his two daughters and his own HVAC business.
“Chances are I’d still be struggling,” he said, when reflecting on where he’d be without Lifeline. “I’m grateful for Lifeline and the people who keep it going.”
Ryan graduated in 2008 after two years in the program. “I’ve wanted to go back a time or two, just to be close to Jesus,” he said, “but they have reminded me I have the tools I need to make it. And I have.”
Ryan’s mother Teresa fought hard to get Ryan the help he needed. “It’s so good to see him completely turned around,” she said. “Lifeline doesn’t just change a person. That person’s change affects their children, their whole family, even the whole community. It can truly break the chain of addiction.”
