    I’m a recovering alcoholic and I Have been off the booze now for probably two years though must admit I cannot remember the exact date I stopped. I use to be a heavy drinker, drinking up to 70 pints of Lager a week or up to 5 or 6 litre bottles of cider a session before usually passing out drunk. I did this for the best part of 10 years.

     

    I wasn’t like most Alcoholics in the sense I spread my drinking out over the day I drank my alcohol over two or three hours trying to drink as much as possible before passing out drunk and almost dying from Alcohol poisoning on numerous occasions in fact how I didn’t is a miracle. I wasn’t a drinker who had to have a drink as soon as I got up like many drinkers as long as I got it in through out the day though saying that there was many days when the first thing I did was drink. I didn’t have really bad shakes without it but did sweat a lot, I could function to a point until I got my drink, I suppose I was more a binge drinker. I think if I had carried on it would of got to the stage were I was shaking and needing it first thing, maybe my age helped only early 30’s when stopped this time and I did have other periods of sobriety. I don’t really know but I do know I was getting worse and it was getting longer to recover than before.

     

    To be honest I was still a mess losing friends, jobs, ending up in hospital and been arrested for drunken and disorderly or stealing booze. It really is no way to live.
     

    In the end I think I just had enough. I can’t say I will never drink again because I probably will at some point but at the moment I have no desire to drink, I have stopped or tried to stop before and was successful for periods of time but never for as long as i have currently. Although generally I have no desire to drink there are occasions when I think it would be nice to have a couple but generally those thoughts don’t last long were as in the beginning it probably was the only thing on my mind 24/7. 
     

    life overall is better, quieter more relaxing, boring compared to my drinking days, does sometimes bother me I’m now getting old before my time as I generally don’t go out at all now and don’t have many friends. I do feel life is passing me by. It is hard at times looking at Facebook and seeing other people who I went to School with or whatever getting on with there jobs and going out etc and I don’t do it anymore. Life isn’t perfect but it is certainly better gone are the days of fear knowing I had done something stupid because of the booze but not remembering because I had a blackout and the guilt was terrible so I would drink again to forget it was a vicious circle.

     

    I do need to start going out more as I do feel I can go out without drinking were as in the beginning I couldn’t as temptation would of been too great. I’m generally happier even if it doesn’t sound like it but do need to get to next stage but it has been a long road and it takes time and at the moment CronaVirus and self isolation doesn’t help but it will pass eventually my goal is to start living a bit more again once it is all over.

     

    I could do with finding work again though that is difficult as I’m registered carer looking after Father who had a stroke 13 years ago and has dementia and my Grandma who is almost 93, though still fairly healthy for her age she still needs help and it can be hard. I probably need to look at something part time to begin with as full time would be impossible with commitments but will have to figure it out.

    What about Sir Geoff? I think he's currently in the best shape of them all. 

    I think he could have another 10 years in him was only joking about Jimmy Greaves and Nobby Stiles been the last survivors of the squad if I had to pick one it would be Sir Geoff he seems to be in the best shape of them all so no doubt he will drop dead tomorrow.

    I think Bobby Charlton still has another 10 years in him.

    Don’t know about 10 years, wouldn’t be surprised if he has Parkinson’s though he might have 4 or 5 years in him.

    Well, Bonetti is gone, Hunter has COVID, Greavsie is in hospital and Nobby is the usual ethernal lingerer. The squad is rapidly vanishing...

    Really is, I think Norman Hunter will be gone soon and possibly Greavies dependant on what’s wrong with him this time. After Bonetti’s death today looked at the 1966 squad of the 22 players 10 are dead and 12 still alive so pretty much half are gone, dependant on the Virus could easily lose another 2 or 3 members this year, by say 2025 I reckon there will probably only be Sir Geoff left and maybe Nobby as he seems indestructible.

    So it has been confirmed that Dalgliesh is in hospital and he has corona. However it seems he was in hospital for another reason,not the corona  virus, so he might be OK.

    If he isn’t showing signs I think he will be to be honest, wonder what he was in hospital for originally that might be more of an indicator to his overall health.

    Notable to me I seem to have the ‘rona.

     

    Hopefully I don’t get to feature on the daily deaths stats in a few weeks.

     

    51 year old male runner with mild asthma. No BMI issues or other underlying health conditions that I know of..

     

    Not looking forward to the next couple of weeks.

     

    Cheers to all, GUN 

    All the best, get well soon.

    Not a great lover of Kenny Dalglish something about him rubs me up the wrong way and it isn’t just because I’m a United fan just not fond of the man however can’t deny the man is a genius won something like 40 trophies as a player and manager with 3 European Cups and 14 League titles chucked in and probably Liverpool’s greatest ever player. If something was to happen it would be a massive death, hope he gets well soon if he is in hospital.

    The person posting these updates is requesting space and privacy yet seems to be sensationalising it themselves. 

    Their post yesterday made it sound like something was gravely wrong (like terminal cancer, coma etc.). Now we're being told he's undergoing tests and he was on the phone having a chit chat earlier? They would've been just as well keeping it to themselves and not posting anything online at all.

    Yes I agree with this or wait until they have the results of whatever tests he is having and release whatever information they have then about his health, agree they seemed to make it sound last night as if he had hours left to live was expecting an announcement today to say he had died.

    So why is he in Intensive Care?!!!! No vent, no pneumonia, sounds like a fucking over privileged baby stamping his foot for the best treatment while some other person who needs that treatment may die.

     

    And it's all a fucking publicity stunt. Go on Blibberwimble, prove me wrong and show me how serious your illness is to justify your fat lard arse in a bed someone else actually needs.

    It is obviously one of two scenarios either they aren’t telling us everything and he is much iller than they are telling us and he is close to death which is very possible if you listen to reports they make it sound like there is almost nothing wrong with him, wouldn’t be surprised if he does in fact have pneumonia and is on a ventilator. The longer he is in intensive care though the less likely he is to recover. I still don’t think he will die but if he hasn’t recovered by say this time next week, I doubt he will recover. 
     

    The other scenario is because of who he is and his position they are been extra careful and he isn’t that bad but surely with a lack of beds and how things are that can’t be the situation and if it is it is a disgrace as the beds needs to be given to those who are seriously ill. 
     

    I think personally they are not telling us everything.

    He looked very sick and before the news came out about losing weight my wife said he looks alot thinner. 

     

    Spencer Perceval was the last PM to die in office.

    He won’t die, I agree he looks ill but he will be back before we know it.

    I imagine at her age the Queen is used to losing friends younger than her let alone older.

    True, the real question is will the Queen make it to 108 years of age? Also if she did would she still be on the throne or would she abdicate and would Charles still be alive at 85 or would William be ready to take the throne?

    I doubt his parents have it. Even his wife was tested negative.

    Agree it is unlikely but if Prince Phillip has it, it will almost certainly finish him off though saying that the Car Crash last year should of done that.
