Jamie, haunted by his demons, admits he 'never managed to get his life back on track' after he lost everything.
In a heartbreaking tale of downfall and despair, an ex-restaurant owner, whose life was once filled with success and promise, now roams the streets of Leeds in search of his next heroin fix. Meet Jamie, a dad-of-four haunted by his demons and the devastating consequences of his addictions.
This tragic figure, the biolgical father to two, nine and 13, and step-dad to another pair, 18 and 21, spends sleepless nights consumed by regret. He wonders what could have been if he hadn't succumbed to the mounting pressures that come with running a restaurant and providing for his family in his mid-20s. The weight of it all led him down a treacherous path, turning to the booze to drown his sorrows.
“I was drinking every day, about 12 cans a day. It was the pressure and taking on all that - the kids, the restaurant. It was hard work.” 'I enjoy drugs' It was not just alcohol which plunged Jamie into a living nightmare. He also turned to Class A drugs. Jamie claims he began taking heroin because he “enjoys drugs” and to gain a different perspective on life. He said: “I’m a heroin addict. I started taking drugs because I enjoy drugs. Not to forget anything. I’ve always lived my life to the full. I’ve taken drugs to see stuff differently, not to forget.
