He desperately needed a loving partner the last few years but it is almost impossible to love an alcoholic and I think the loneliness and pointless day to day existence has driven him to self destruct. A very sad cycle of events
He decided to drink himself to death over 10 years ago and started to write a book about it when he holed himself up in a hotel for 6 weeks drinking 4 bottles of whisky a day and lines of cocaine, he said he did not eat or drink any water for 6weeks, was then senctioned when ordering a knife...
I think Gazza has come to that point in some alcoholics lives when he knows he cannot defeat his demons and will carry on now for as long as his body lasts. Very sad
