A Program that Works
Built by Successful Leaders within the Recovery Community
The management of K.I.S.S. Foundation Inc. is made up of people who not only have the management skills to operate the foundation but more importantly the experience of being in recovery as well. This is a vital part of why K.I.S.S. is successful. K.I.S.S. management understands the process, based on their own personal experiences.
Jacqueline M. Lia
Executive Director
Since first getting sober in 1983, I have always had the desire to help other addicts and alcoholics achieve sobriety but never pursued it. This desire was realized in 2012, when we opened the Lia House.
Sober since 2008 and having volunteered at various “sober centers” in the Cleveland area, I realized I had found my passion of helping others.
Additionally, I received an Associated Degree in Applied Science, Chemical Dependency Specialization (advanced degree) from Central Texas College and also a Ohio Certified Peer Supporter.

I spent most of my adulthood bouncing in and out of recovery until 2006 when I finally surrendered. I was employed by Jack Mulhall at the Keating Center and learned first hand from Jack how to effectively help drunks and drug addicts.
Additionally, Jack taught me to help others free of charge to these individuals and their families.
Bringing with me to Lia House is over 48 years of experience in recovery and the ability to effectively help others recover from alcoholism.
