Thanks to Lily for appearing on the show today and sharing her story of addiction and recovery.

We hope our audience appreciates the related discussion about the increased taxes on alcohol and the potential benefits to public health.

📉🍺 Bar owners say the new alcohol tariffs are hurting business — but for some, cutting back on alcohol has been a matter of survival, not economics.

Meet Lila, a woman in recovery who nearly lost everything to alcohol but found purpose helping others as an assistant nurse at a treatment facility.

This Sunday, Garth and Natasha explore both sides of the story — the business losses and the human gains.

Drug trafficking doesn't only happen on maritime routes but through legitimate ports. Here's an example of drugs being sent via post from the US to the UK.

Many in law enforcement would agree that traffickers find the most ingenious of ways of moving the product across borders, often hidden in plain sight.

A man who smuggled drugs into the UK through parcels disguised with fake American return addresses has been jailed for eight years following a major investigation by Greater Manchester Police.
