Illegal Drug Use in the Granite State

By Laura Knoy on Tuesday, August 11, 2009.

Whether it’s cocaine, crystal meth, or heroin, many dangerous substances are very easy to come by in New Hampshire. Some are smuggled in from other countries, while others are home grown, but both are leading to more overdoses and deaths. We’ll look at what the state is doing to reduce the supply and the demand for illegal drugs.

AA Outreach
Bill G. - Wed, 08/12/2009 - 09:06

Within the long established traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous members must remain anonymous in the media. The primary reason for this is to not chance becoming an example of failure.

Alcohol (and drug) addiction is extremely hard to beat. AA is acknowledged as the most successful method yet only one in about 37 people who come into AA experience long term recovery. We are not hard to find. We are in the phone book. We are completely free.

I speak from experience as I am in the twenty-sixth year of continuous sobriety; however, I humbly remain non-public and in awe of those who formulated the AA program. In gratitude, I have helped dozens of people find AA and establish a life in recovery.

Please seek AA out if you need help or consider our sister organization, Al-Anon, if you need support dealing with an addicted love one.
