“I don’t know if I’m going to touch a drink again. I just know that I’m not drinking today,” said Gascoigne. “I always remember lying on my bed and hearing the doctor saying ‘I don’t think this guy is going to make it’,” he recalled.
“I’m much better now, coming up to six weeks. Over 11 years, I’ve only drunk for four months of it. Just five little binges. I’ve got to stop them binges. I’ve just got to stop picking up a drink,” he added.
