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.
Jamie, whose life was upended by drink and jail, has warned “it could happen to anyone”. If someone had told him this unending nightmare is what would have become of his life while he was running his thriving business ten years ago, he'd have told them "no chance".
The 36-year-old, who didn't wish to provide his last name, is a mere shadow of his former self. His once vibrant face now bears the scars of countless cuts and lesions, the agonizing itch of withdrawal causing him to scratch uncontrollably.
