“I have scars my tattoos won’t cover.”
I didn’t write this to impress anyone. I wrote it because it hurt.
This one's for anyone who’s lived through something they don’t always talk about.
It’s raw. It’s honest. And maybe—just maybe—it’ll mean something to you too.

I have scars

Decisions

I am Randy Davis, the founder and the Executive Director of ABLBH. Early on in my life, I recognized my desire to help those who might be struggling. I have been blessed with experiences that have fed my hunger. I believe in encouraging others before they believe in themselves. Thus, ABLBH believes in you.

​

It was June of 2014 when God first burdened my heart with the needs of those battling addiction. God used Brianna's experiences, story, and life to touch me in a way unlike He never has. Then He began opening doors and creating opportunities that showed me together we would make a difference. So here we are changing lives and saving lives. For certain God gets the glory but without so many feet and hands moving for Him we would not have the impact that we have!

Join us and believe with us!
