>> HEY, EVERYONE BACK HOME.
THIS IS CONCORD NATIVE MATT
BONNER.
IT IS HALFTIME AT THE SPURS GAME
AND I WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO
TALK TO YOU ABOUT A SERIOUS
ISSUE AFFECTING MANY PEOPLE BACK
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND THAT IS
OPIOID ABUSE.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HEROIN,
PAIN PILLS.
THIS STUFF IS ALL OVER THE PLACE
RIGHT NOW.
IT IS REALLY ADDICTIVE.
THE BEST THING I CAN TELL YOU IS
DON'T DO IT THAT FIRST TIME.
AND THEN YOU ARE HOOKED.
ONCE YOU ARE HOOKED, HEROIN AND
PAIN PILLS COULD RUIN YOUR LIFE
AND TEAR APART YOUR FAMILY.
IT CAN EVEN BE LIFE OR DEATH.
WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, I WAS
ALWAYS AT THE BOYS AND GIRLS
CLUB, PLAYING BASKETBALL AND
TRYING TO ACHIEVE MY DREAM OF
PLAYING IN THE NBA SOMEDAY.
AND I ACCOMPLISHED IT, BUT THAT
WOULD HAVE BEEN DERAILED IF I
GOT MIXED UP WITH DRUG ABUSE.
ALL OF US HAVE DIFFERENT DREAMS
AND GOALS IN LIFE.
IF YOU WANT TO GIVE YOURSELF THE
BEST OPPORTUNITY POSSIBLE TO
ACHIEVE THOSE, YOU HAVE TO JUST
SAY NO, WALK AWAY AND DO
SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE INSTEAD
OF SUCCUMBING TO THE PRESSURE
OR THE OFFER OF TRYING A DRUG,
ESPECIALLY HEROIN AND PAIN
PILLS BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IS
ALL OVER THE PLACE RIGHT NOW.
I BELIEVE IN YOU.
NEW HAMPSHIRE IS WHERE MY HEART
IS.
I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT AND I WILL
SEE YOU ON THE COURT THIS
SUMMER.
ERIN: THE POWER OF ADDICTION
TOLD FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A
FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICK FOR THE
FLORIDA MARLINS BASEBALL TEAM
BACK IN 2003.
SEAN: JEFF ALLISON WAS AN
ALL-STAR PITCHER STRAIGHT OUT OF
HIGH SCHOOL IN PEABODY,
MASSACHUSETTS WHO SIGNED A
CONTRACT WORTH MORE THAN $1.8
MILLION.
THAT IS UNTIL OXYCONTIN BECAME
HIS OBSESSION, THEN HEROIN, AND
HE STRUGGLED TO BEAT HIS
ADDICTION.
NOW, HE SHARES HIS TALENT AND
STORY WITH TEENS WHO ARE JUST
LIKE HE WAS.
>> MY ROCK BOTTOM WAS HORRIBLE.
IT WAS SOMETHING I CAN NEVER
FORGET.
IT'S SO VIVID TO ME.
ERIN: JEFF ALLISON WAS A
SUPERSTAR ON THE PITCHING MOUND
WITH SO MUCH PROMISE.
>> 14 YEARS AGO WAS THE BEST DAY
OF MY LIFE AND THE WORST DAY OF
MY LIFE AT THE SAME TIME.
I GOT DRAFTED BY THE FLORIDA
MARLINS WITH THE 16TH OVERALL
PICK AND I SIGNED FOR $1.85
MILLION.
YOU WOULD THINK GROWING UP WHERE
I DID, US NOT HAVING MUCH AS A
FAMILY, THAT WOULD CHANGE YOUR
LIFE.
IT DID FOR THE MOST PART BUT IT
WAS ALSO THE WORST DAY OF MY
LIFE.
ERIN: TO THROWING IT ALL AWAY.
>> IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WAS THE ONE
THAT WOULD GO TO PARTIES.
I WAS LIKE A WEEKEND WARRIOR.
BY WHICH DRINK AND SMOKE AND I
ALWAYS THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER
HAVE AN ISSUE AND NEVER HAVE A
PROBLEM.
ERIN: HE BECAME A FULL-BLOWN
DRUG ADDICT AT AGE 19.
>> I HAVE OVERDOSED TWICE AND I
EASILY COULDN'T BE HERE.
I AM HERE SO THIS IS WHAT I NEED
TO DO.
ERIN: HE WAS LOCKED UP FOR MORE
THAN YEAR.
>> I ALWAYS FOUND A WAY TO DO
SOMETHING.
IF I WANTED TO, I COULD FIND
ANYTHING ON ANY STREET CORNER.
EVEN IF I WAS BY MYSELF AND DID
NOT KNOW ANYBODY.
FOR ME, HE GOT SO BAD I WAS
ROBBING AND STEALING.
THAT IS WHERE THE JAIL TIME CAME
IN.
WE ARE ONLY TALKING THREE YEARS
REMOVED FROM BEING THE NUMBER
ONE DRAFT PICK.
THAT IS SOMETHING I CAN NEVER
FORGET.
EVEN YEARS LATER, 10 YEARS
LATER, I CAN NEVER FORGET.
EVERY SINGLE TIME I SPEAK, IT
COULD BE 10,000, 25 -- IT DOES
NOT MATTER.
IT IS ALWAYS SO VIVID TO ME
EVERY TIME I TALK.
IT'S SO REAL TO ME EVERY TIME I
TALK.
ERIN: THEN ONE MORNING AT 4:30,
HE FACED A LIFE OR DEATH
DECISION.
>> I HAD NO WAY TO GET HOME.
NO MONEY.
ALL OF MY MONEY WAS GONE.
I SPENT IT ON DRUGS, ALCOHOL,
FRIENDS.
ANYTHING ANYBODY WANTED, I GAVE
IT TO THEM.
I NEVER LOOKED AFTER ME, NEVER
MADE A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO
CHANGE AND THAT DAY I HAD A
OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO.
I COULD EITHER GET UP AND WALK
33 MILES BACK HOME OR I COULD
SIT THERE AND ESSENTIALLY DIE.
I HAD ALREADY OVERDOSED TWICE.
I HAD A WARRANT OUT FOR MY
ARREST.
WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO WAS ME
MAKING A CONSCIOUS CHOICE ONCE
AGAIN TO EITHER WALK OR STAND.
IF I STAYED, I WOULD GO BACK TO
JAIL.
THIS TIME, WITH ALL THE THINGS I
HAD DONE WRONG, ALL THE CHARGES
-- I HAD ABOUT 8.5 YEARS OF
PRISON TIME ON TOP OF MY HEAD.
I DECIDED TO WALK IN WHEN I GOT
HOME MY MOTHER WAS THERE WAITING
FOR ME.
IT WAS PROBABLY THE BEST THE
SEASON -- DECISION I'D MADE IN
MY LIFE.
IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY
CAREER.
IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT EVERYONE
ELSE OTHER THAN ME.
I FINALLY DECIDED TO LOOK AFTER
ME AND THAT WAS THE BEST VISION
-- DECISION I EVER MADE IN MY
ENTIRE LIFE.
ERIN: HE WENT BACK FOR
TREATMENT.
ONCE RELEASED, HE WAS ARRESTED
AT SPRING TRAINING.
>> WHEN I WENT TO JAIL THAT DAY,
THAT WAS THE FIRST DAY OF THE
REST OF MY LIFE.
I DID ALL THE TIME I NEEDED TO
DO.
IT MADE ME REFLECT ON ALL THE
THINGS I HAD DONE TO OTHERS
WHICH IS A STEP IN THE 12 STEPS
FOR ME.
THAT WAS A VERY TOUGH ONE.
AT THE END OF THE DAY FOR ME, IT
WAS THAT ONE CHOICE, THAT ONE
CONSCIOUS DECISION.
IF I DIDN'T MAKE IT, I WOULDN'T
BE HERE.
FROM DECEMBER 4, 2006 UNTIL THIS
DAY, I HAVE BEEN CLEAN.
I HAD A RED-HOT IN A MILLION
YEARS I WOULD HAVE -- I NEVER
THOUGHT IN A MILLION YEARS I
WOULD HAVE --
[APPLAUSE]
>> THANK YOU, GUYS.
THANK YOU.
SEAN: JEFF ALLISON SAYS IT ISN'T
EASY TO TRY AND HELP SOMEBODY OR
CHANGE A LIFE AND HIS HEART GOES
OUT TO THOSE WHO HAVE LOST A
LOVED ONE TO ADDICTION.
ERIN: A SURPRISE GUEST SPEAKER
CREATED SOME BUZZ AT THE YOUTH
SUMMIT.
U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL JEFF
SESSIONS' VISIT WAS KEPT SECRET
UNTIL MINUTES BEFORE HE WAS
WHISKED ONTO THE STAGE.
SEAN: THE SIGNIFICANCE MAY NOT
HAVE BEEN CLEAR TO THE STUDENTS
IN THE ARENA, BUT ELECTED
OFFICIALS KNOW THAT NATIONAL
EYES ON NEW HAMPSHIRE'S CRISIS
COULD BRING MORE RESOURCES.
>> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE
JOIN ME IN WELCOMING ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES
JEFF SESSIONS.
[APPLAUSE]
ERIN: ATTORNEY GENERAL JEFF
SESSIONS WAS SWORN INTO OFFICE
LESS THAN A MONTH AGO.
SINCE 1996, HE'S BEEN AN ALABAMA
SENATOR, SO IT'S NOT
UNREASONABLE THAT HE WASN'T
IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED.
BUT FOR THOSE HERE IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE FIGHTING THE DRUG
CRISIS, A SPEECH BY THE U.S.
ATTORNEY GENERAL MEANS NATIONAL
EYES ARE ON THIS CRISIS.
MR. SESSIONS: WE HAVE SOME HIGH
PRIORITIES.
WE ARE GOING TO FOCUS ON
PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE.
I BELIEVE WE HAVE WAY TOO MUCH
PAIN MEDICATION BEING PRESCRIBED
IN AMERICA TODAY AND IT LEADS TO
HEROIN ADDICTION.
I BELIEVE WE CAN DO A MUCH
BETTER JOB ON ENFORCING CRIMINAL
VIOLATIONS IN PRESCRIPTION DRUG
DISTRIBUTION.
THIS HAS GOT TO BE STOPPED AND
WE CAN STOP IT.
WE ARE GOING TO TARGET GANGS AND
DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS WHO AR
MOVING THIS OUT FOR GREAT WEALTH
AND PROFIT.
THEY HAVE TO BE ATTACKED.
THEY HAVE TO BE STOPPED.
REPORTER: SESSIONS IS A FORMER
PROSECUTOR WHO TOLD HIS YOUNG
AUDIENCE THAT IN THE 1980'S HE
WAS ON THE FRONT LINES OF A DRUG
CRISIS IN AMERICA AND HE IS
INSPIRED BY THIS LARGE-SCALE
EFFORT TO DEFEAT ADDICTION HERE.
MR. SESSIONS: I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE
TODAY IS NOT AN ORDINARY EVENT,
IN MY OPINION.
IT IS A SPECIAL THING.
THAT'S WHY I CLEARED MY SCHEDULE
HERE TODAY TO BE WITH YOU.
I WANTED TO SEE THAT NO ONE -- I
WANTED TO SEE AND PARTICIPATE IN
THIS YOUTH SUMMIT BECAUSE IT'S
HISTORIC, BECAUSE IT MAY BE THE
LARGEST SUCH GATHERING IN
HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES.
TOO MANY PEOPLE AND TOO MANY
YOUNG PEOPLE ARE DYING AND
OTHERS ARE PLACING THEMSELVES IN
THE GRIP OF A TERRIBLE
ADDICTION.
REPORTER: THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
REITERATED WHAT RESIDENTS HERE
ALREADY KNOW TOO WELL -- NEW
HAMPSHIRE FAMILIES HAVE BEEN
DECIMATED BY THIS CRISIS.
ATTORNEY GENERAL SESSIONS SAYS
CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT IS A
PRIORITY.
MR. SESSIONS: CRIMINAL
ENFORCEMENT IS ESSENTIAL TO
STOPPING THE TRANSNATIONAL
CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS.
WHICH SHIP DRUGS IN HUGE AMOUNTS
AND TO STOP THE THUGS AND GAINS
WHO USE VIOLENCE AND EXTORTION
TO MOVE THEIR PRODUCTS.
THE PRESIDENT HAS ISSUED AN
EXECUTIVE ORDER THROUGH THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO
DISMANTLE THESE ORGANIZATIONS
AND GANGS.
WE'RE GOING AFTER THEM, THAT YOU
CAN BE SURE.
REPORTER: THE FOCUS DURING THIS
ADDRESS THOUGH WAS ABOUT
PREVENTION.
OFFICIALS AGREE THAT STOPPING
ADDICTION WITH THIS GENERATION
BEFORE IT STARTS IS THE KEY.
MR. SESSIONS: PEOPLE NEED TO
HEAR THE TRUTH.
NO FILTER, NO SENSORS -- JUST
STRAIGHT FACTS FROM THOSE WHO
HAVE LIVED WITH THE HARD
CONSEQUENCES OF OPIOID ABUSE.
MANY PEOPLE GET STARTED ON
OPIOIDS OR OTHER DRUGS BECAUSE
THEY DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND
WHAT THEY ARE GETTING THEMSELVES
INTO.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE
HOW ADDICTIVE PRESCRIPTION DRUGS
CAN BE.
THESE DRUGS ARE POWERFUL AND
OPIOID ADDICTION CAN TAKE HOLD
QUICKLY.
REPORTER: THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
DECLARED DEFEAT IS ON THE
HORIZON FOR THOSE WHO
MANUFACTURE AND SELL DRUGS,
CITING EDUCATION HAS THE WEAPON
THAT WILL BE THEIR DOWNFALL.
MR. SESSIONS: WE CAN TURN THE
TIDE AGAINST DRUGS AND ADDICTION
AGAIN IN AMERICA JUST LIKE WE
DID PREVIOUSLY.
WE HAVE PROVEN THAT EDUCATION
AND TELLING PEOPLE THE TRUTH
ABOUT DRUGS AND ADDICTION WILL
RESULT IN BETTER CHOICES.
DRUG USE WILL FALL AND LIVES
WILL BE SAVED.
LESS MONEY WILL BE GOING INTO
THE CARTELS AND DRUG GANGS,
WEAKENING THEM.
AND THAT'S WHAT HAS EXCITED ME
ABOUT YOU TODAY AND THE
LEADERSHIP AND PARTICIPATION YOU
ARE GIVING TO THIS YOUTH SUMMIT.
REPORTER: THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S
ROOTS SOUTH OF THE MASON-DIXON
OFFERED A MOMENT OF LEVITY IN A
HEAVY-HITTING ADDRESS.
MR. SESSIONS: ONLY A PREVENTION
MOVEMENT CAN TURN THE TIDE, AND
I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE
ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE.
I AM TALKING ABOUT THE TIDE OF
DRUG ABUSE IN THIS COUNTRY.
WHAT YOU CAN DO IS IMPORTANT AND
I BELIEVE WHAT YOU ARE DOING
TODAY IS THE START OF A NATIONAL
MOVEMENT.
I CANNOT BE MORE PROUD AND
EXCITED.
LET'S MAKE THIS YOUTH SUMMIT A
TURNING POINT FOR THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA AGAINST DRUG
ABUSE.
ERIN: ONE WAY TO BREAK THE
SILENCE OF ADDICTION IS BY
SEEKING RECOVERY.
TONIGHT, A MAJOR SPONSOR OF THE
YOUTH SUMMIT, RECOVERY CENTERS
FOR AMERICA, IS TRYING TO SAVE A
MILLION LIVES ONE AREA AT A
TIME.
>> ONE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE CARE
VERY MUCH ABOUT IS THIS ONE
RIGHT HERE.
WE HAVE BUILT TWO TREATMENT
FACILITIES NEARBY THAT WILL HAVE
300 TREATMENT BEDS AVAILABLE TO
HELP IMMEDIATELY.
ERIN: EVERYONE ATTENDING THE
SUMMIT WAS GIVEN A BRACELET AS A
REMINDER THAT HELP IS ALWAYS
AVAILABLE.
JUST CALL 1-800-RECOVERY.
WHEN THIS SHOW ENDS AT 8:00
P.M., PLEASE HEAD STRAIGHT OVER
TO OUR WMUR FACEBOOK PAGE AND
GET YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
LIVE.
SEAN: WE HAVE A GROUP OF PEOPLE
WHO ARE HELPING TO FIGHT THE
OPIOID CRISIS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
EVERY DAY.
THEY'RE READY AND WAITING TO
HEAR FROM YOU.
ERIN: UP NEXT, STAR POWER AT THE
SUMMIT AND THEIR STRAIGHT FROM
THE HEART MESSAGES TO THE
STUDENTS.
>> YOU DON'T WANT TO THROW YOUR
LIFE AWAY.
YOU HAVE ONE LIFE.
SEAN: INCLUDING THE HARD-HITTING
MESSAGE FROM A NEW ENGLAND
PATRIOTS SAFETY FRESH OFF
ANOTHER SUPER BOWL WIN.
ERIN: 211 IS AN EASY NUMBER THAT
WILL CONNECT YOU TO DRUG
ADDICTION RESOURCES.
IT'S A PROGRAM THAT SERVES AS A
LIFELINE TO MANY IN THEIR
GREATEST HOUR OF NEED.
