Tom's Story: The Costs of Alcoholism

By Doug MacPherson on Tuesday, November 30, 2004.

This week New Hampshire Public Radio is looking at substance abuse. As we reported yesterday, alcohol is by far the most damaging substance in the state, touching more lives and causing more harm than any illicit drug. The longer someone remains an alcoholic, the greater the costs to themselves and society. In this next segment, a life- long alcoholic tells his story.
As correspondent Doug MacPherson discovered, part of what makes addiction difficult to stop is that, like some cancers, it can disappear for years, only to return more aggressive than ever.


Watch a Flash movie of Tom's life to see the costs that alcohol abuse impose on the state.
