Liver shot. Life too. |

In response to your article of some time back on alcoholism which I’ve just caught up with. “We live among a drinking people” you say – dead right and it’s very easy to get sucked in.
I only intended to stay in France ten days but one Stella led to another and I ran out of money. In order to get back to England I had to get a job. I worked in Antibes in a hotel, then in a bar, and then on the boats – drinking all the time. On and on I went all over the Med.
Eventually I returned to England with liver cirrhosis, brain addled, kidney problems, gut trouble. You may not think you’re overdoing it but you probably are if you really take stock. The trouble is you don’t really feel or see these things going on inside.
Six years I’ve been in rehab now. I’d say please do be careful. Eating properly is the main thing – if you’re going to drink like the locals then follow their eating habits as well. You’ll feel much fitter. And drink loads of water.
