Gazza reveals drinking torment
Paul Gascoigne has described "the pain" of knowing he might start drinking again, even though he recognises it could be the death of him in an ITV documentary.
Gazza hopes he does not die from his alcohol addiction
Paul Gascoigne said he hopes he does not die from his alcohol addiction as he has already been "lucky twice".
Gazza told documentary makers: "I hope I don't die through it. Because I won't get any sympathy ... because well he was warned. At least I know if I did pass away through it I wouldn't be in this pain all the time.
"The pain's like I know probably in the future I am going to drink again. I know in a year's time I am going to have f****** hassle again and you know family worrying and Sheryl worried, the kids worried, nephews worried, friends are worried.
"I just think sometimes, just think f****** hell. Just go away i.e. drink or me go away - and that means a wooden box and six nails ... and I don't know why, I just don't know why I f****** pick up the drink."
Being Paul Gascoigne airs on ITV tomorrow night at 9pm
