Man blinded and nearly killed by 30-year Lucozade habit kicks it and loses 2st
- last month
A man nearly killed by his eight-bottle-a-day Lucozade habit has finally kicked his 30 year addiction - and lost two stone.
Garry Johnson, 66, suffered a stroke, had to have an electrical heart device and went temporarily blind in one eye.
Doctors told him he'd need to quit his £150 a month habit, to save his heart from further damage - but Garry said that was harder than ditching class A drugs.
The retired decorator from Basildon, Essex, finally managed it through sheer determination.
And since December he has lost more than two stone - and feels healthier and happier.
