The editorial section of a newspaper should be a place where community members address serious issues affecting their towns. Too often, opinion pages become spaces for complaints rather than meaningful discussion. Addiction is one issue in the Mount Washington Valley that deserves serious attention. Addiction creates a ripple effect that impacts the entire community.

For context, New Hampshire ranks first in the nation for alcohol consumption per capita. Because of this, community leaders, local organizations and residents of the Mount Washington Valley must work to spread awareness about addiction and make recovery resources more accessible.
