Ex-alcoholic regains his pleasure in life

Today, in his kybun shoes, 53-year-old Jakob Wampfler goes through life joyfully, with a spring in his step.

But his past was grim: when he was 20 he had already damaged five of his organs with his addiction to alcohol, tablets and hashish. He just wanted to die. After 23 years of addiction, others' belief in him and his belief in God brought Jakob Wampfler back to life. Today he has a wide grin on his face, has written a book about his fortunes and has a job delivering the post at the Swiss Federal Palace.
