Once homeless, incarcerated and shackled by addictions that nearly took his life, Danny Deaton is now a husband, father of three, and 16 years clean and sober. Danny is the founder of Living Proof Recovery Services; a company whose mission is to save families who are losing the battle of addiction inside their home. Seeing the lack of resources and support for families affected by addiction, Danny determined to become the resource. He and his wife Emily have produced the world’s first comprehensive program to educate and support families and spouses of addicts. They also host the Your Living Proof Podcast where they discuss addiction, marriage, faith, and family life. Danny’s motto is “Our Secrets Keep Us Sick”, a phrase he attributes to saving his life and continues to bless him today. He passionately shares this message in schools, churches, rooms of recovery and communities around the country.

I believe that Satan, the opposition is very opportunistic- Danny Deaton

The thing about addictions is they're progressive.- Danny Deaton

 we're here to help. But if you're not ready, I've told God that he can have you.- Danny Deaton

 really that every step of that process was just learning how to like, to sit in discomfort and to see myself for who I was.- Danny Deaton

  📍 the program of recovery, regardless of what you, where you go, what facility it is, what the approach is. It's really about reconnecting. They use the term. I'm a higher power, right? Cause a lot of people it's so intimidating to even put a name on it, but it's reconnecting and being able to latch on to a power greater than yourself that can restore you to sanity.- Danny Deaton

And then,  of course, once you've become something new within that container, then you have to go out and Do something. Now you have purpose- Brigette Heller

  📍 right now, the number one leading cause of death individuals, 18 to 45. And I'm talking by a mile. The number one is overdose to fentanyl. And we're talking of everything. It actually overdose to fentanyl is. Has more deaths right now, people 18 to 45, then car accidents and heart disease combined.- Danny Deaton

 📍 What I say is the greatest threat to the world in it of addiction is a family who effectively learns to intervene and how to support a person in a full program recovery. So we created the playbook for families.- Danny Deaton

   📍 can't help everybody. What am I going to do? I'm going to go and help people like my family. When I was stuck, teach them what my family learned because my addiction of many years came to a halt in a matter of months. Once my family learned how to effectively intervene, how to stand united.

And to stand up against the bully of addiction- Danny Deaton

  📍 I don't know a single person who has addiction, whether it's cocaine or it's sugar, that isn't seeking relief.

Addiction is usually someone who is seeking relief.- Brigette Heller
