Wayne Linnaker, the 63-year-old brother of soccer star Gary Linnaker, has flipped his wild party life upside down. Eight months ago, he quit booze cold turkey, ditched his obese and nightclub scene for a chill spot in Essex, and patched up a 17-year feud with. Gary, now he's all about sobriety, family, and finding that missing piece, a steady girlfriend. The old Wayne was deep in the party game, downing what he figures was 52,000 drinks over 13 years, mixed with drugs and late nights. On Vodka, Red Bull, and Cheese Toasties. He ran Ocean Beach Club, posed with celebs like Hanuman Greger, but it led to jail time for money laundering back in 2006 and viral videos, embarrassing his business partners. Family felt the strain hard, how his son Dwayne banned him from picking up grandkids from school over the drinking. But hit home, plus a rough pneumonia about landing him in hospitals seven weeks.

These days, Wayne's in a seven-day water fast at his new build home, feeling sharper than ever. No more anxiety or aches. He did six weeks in rehab at the priori, and business folks pushed him to clean up after that DJ booth fiasco. About eight years since his expiance, he's eyeing someone around 40, done with party girls, ready to settle. Subrides got everything clicking for him now, from health to family ties. He's testing a sober return to Ibiza next month, but swears this fresh start beats the old haze every time.
