'I used to drink 12 pints a day, now I help others quit alcohol'
Three years ago Jimi Wilson was drinking well over ten times the weekly recommended alcohol limit every week - now he's not had a drink in over two years. "Usually I would drink as soon as I finished work, which was usually two o'clock in the afternoon, right up until 10 or 11," says 40-year-old Mr Wilson. He now volunteers with North Yorkshire Horizons, which supported him when he wanted to quit drinking. The group provides support for people with drug and alcohol dependency from its five hubs in Northallerton, Selby, Scarborough, Skipton and Harrogate and holds smaller drop-in sessions in rural locations like his home town of Bentham. "I finished work maybe two years ago due to my capability. I would leave work early on many occasions due to anxiety and it turns out it was my alcohol use which was driving my anxiety" says Mr Wilson, who has remained out of employment during his recovery. NHS England recommends "men and women are not to drink more than 14 units a week on a regular basis", which Mr Wilson was exceeding on a daily basis. "I was drinking around 150 units a week, around 20 units a day, about 12 pints of strong lager. "My health had declined massively, I was off work, signed-off long term, I couldn't really get around so much due to the pressure I put on my body, so it was just a case of getting alcohol delivered from supermarkets. "I was just drinking at home, signed off work long-term, drinking at home, all day, every day." If you are affected by the issues raised in this story, you can visit the BBC Action Line for support. Mr Wilson, who has been sober since March 2023, now runs rural support sessions with North Yorkshire Horizons. The sessions, which Mr Wilson leads alongside a support worker from the group, involve sharing his story and "lived experience", which he says aids his own recovery as well as helping others. "When I am working closely with the treatment worker, she will say 'Jimi was sat in your chair three years ago and look at him now' and I can see little glimmers of hope in people's expression and their eyes. "Just giving people an ear and allowing them to speak is massively helpful to people, helps them realise they are not alone in these rural communities." "It's giving people that bit of hope and just reassuring people there is help." Although Mr Wilson has been out of work since leaving his factory job, he hopes to be able to use his volunteering experience to get full-time employment. "I'm sticking with my volunteering, getting as much experience as I can, so that when my health allows it, I definitely will be getting a job in drug and alcohol recovery services."

Dr. Arthur Zacco Celebrates Three Decades of Excellence in Hair Restoration
Dr. Zacco's AZ Hair Restoration clinic utilizes advanced techniques like FUT, FUE, and MFU grafting to deliver seamless, natural-looking hair restoration. His patient-focused approach combines precision, artistry, and compassionate care, transforming lives through confidence-boosting hair solutions refined over 30 years. North Carolina, United States, June 6, 2025 -- Dr. Arthur Zacco, the driving force behind AZ Hair Restoration in Raleigh, North Carolina, marks 30 years at the forefront of hair transplantation. His three-decade career has been defined by precision, dedication, and a deep understanding of the transformative power of hair restoration. Dr. Zacco's work has touched thousands of lives, providing solutions for hair loss that restore not just hair, but also the confidence and self-assurance that come with it. Graduated with a solid foundation in biology and chemistry from the University of Central Florida and received his medical degree from A.T. Still University, Dr. Zacco has combined his scientific background with an artistic eye. Over the years, he has honed his techniques to produce natural-looking and long-lasting results, free from the tell-tale signs of surgery that once plagued the field of hair restoration. 'My goal is to ensure that patients achieve natural and long-lasting results that restore their hair and self-esteem,' says Dr. Zacco. Hair loss has far-reaching implications, affecting not only appearance but also personal and social interactions. Dr. Zacco's methods have provided relief to patients experiencing the distress of thinning hair, baldness, or receding hairlines. His approach, centered on a deep understanding of each patient's unique needs, employs a combination of Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), and Multiple Follicular Unit (MFU) grafting to create seamless, natural results. FUT involves harvesting a thin strip of hair-bearing skin from the back of the scalp, which is meticulously dissected into follicular units. This method enables the placement of a high density of grafts for a fuller look. FUE, on the other hand, removes individual follicular units with minimal scarring and downtime, a technique favored by patients wishing to maintain shorter hairstyles. Dr. Zacco's mastery lies in his ability to adapt these techniques to suit each patient's specific hair restoration goals. He often combines FUT with MFU grafting to deliver a natural hairline and denser hair behind it, a strategy that offers a feathered, undetectable result. For patients with minimal hair loss or those keen to retain a cropped style, FUE is used to carefully extract follicles without overharvesting the donor area. One patient described the impact of Dr. Zacco's work: 'Dr. Zacco and his staff are beyond amazing! The procedure was painless, and the results changed my life. I feel great about myself, and the results were great and natural. No one even noticed I had this procedure done.' Such testimonials underscore the personal transformations that Dr. Zacco's expertise has facilitated. His work not only restores hair but also enhances patients' quality of life, enabling them to move forward with renewed confidence. For three decades, Dr. Zacco has remained dedicated to refining his craft and staying attuned to advancements in hair restoration techniques. His reputation for excellence is built on a legacy of precision, artistry, and compassionate care. Through AZ Hair Restoration, he has established a trusted center where patients find solutions that restore their hair and transform their lives. Dr. Zacco's 30-year journey is a testament to his commitment to his patients and his field. His work continues to stand as a beacon of expertise in hair restoration, providing thousands with the chance to reclaim their appearance and their confidence.
