InDepthNH.org will launch Breaking the Chains on Friday with a Manchester mother sharing what it’s like watching her adult son battle heroin addiction. He isn’t winning right now. Michele will tell you what that’s like for her family. Please share your experience with addiction and recovery so we can help break those chains.
