Gazza, 58, was admitted to an intensive care ward but has now been moved to an acute medical unit where his condition was described as stable.
The football legend thanked pals for their support.
The much-loved star’s family and friends rallied round the 58-year-old after he was discovered semi-conscious at home on Friday evening.
Pal Steve Foster, who found him, said Gazza would “like to thank everyone for the support he’s received so far from so many old friends who wish him well and want to see him back to his best”.
The star was said to be out of danger and stable last night after he was rushed to hospital and placed in intensive care.
He is recovering in hospital near his home, and is expected to remain there for several days for treatment.
Mr Foster, who is also Gazza’s driver and personal assistant, had rushed the star there in his car after finding him in his bedroom.
He said: “Paul is in hospital, which is the best possible place for him to be right now.”
Gazza’s reality star daughter Bianca, his two sisters and ex-footballer pals Peter Beardsley, Chris Waddle, Paul Merson and Vinnie Jones were said to be being kept informed of his condition.
Former Spurs, Lazio and Rangers player Gascoigne is seen as one of the greatest playmakers of his generation, with a stellar club and international career.
He was capped 57 times and scored ten goals for the Three Lions between 1988 and 1998.
His tears as England crashed out of the 1990 World Cup in the semi-final against Germany touched the nation and he scored an unforgettable wonder goal at Euro 96.
His latest health scare comes after his company was shut down at the start of July when it failed to file records on time.
Companies House announced the firm has been struck off and dissolved.
Gazza was represented for years by booking agent Katie Davies, but she has now stepped back from involvement in his day-to-day life.
