OSSIPEE — Families Anonymous, a group for relatives and friends concerned about the use of drugs or related behavioral problems, will be meeting the second and fourth Thursdays of each month starting Thursday, Oct. 11, at 7 p.m. at Second Congregational Church, United Church of Christ at 19 Courthouse Square in Ossipee.

Substance abuse, substance dependence and addiction are pervasive problems in today’s society. Many people turn to drugs (including alcohol) as a way of coping with the daily stresses of modern life, the challenges of family pressures and other personal issues. Young people are especially vulnerable to this problem as they attempt to fit themselves into today’s culture.
