Heroin Addiction & Recovery Blog

Hello everyone my name is Jordan and I would like to share with the the story of how i became addicted to Heroin.
Its 20th April 2010 I lay in my bed starring at the ceiling recovering from last nights heavy session on Ketamine only to hear a knock at the door its an ex-girlfriend and her family coming round to tell my i have a four month old son the shock, terror drilled through my body panic soon ensued thoughts racing through my mind until i came to the conclusion this could be the turning point in my life up until now I had spent most my life drinking, smoking weed, swallowing countless ecstasy pills, speed, cocaine, poppers, saliva now i finally had something to focus on I had a beautiful son.
little did i know this would all soon end in tear as the mother of my child comes from a dysfunctional family where sleeping around, fighting and arguing are the norm in everyday life and before I had a chance to even put my name on the birth certificate social services whisked my son away into care before i even had a chance to be a farther this is where my life took a massive downward spiral.

Before i knew it i was sitting round heroin addicts watching them inject their drug of choice while i sat on the sofa judging them while i smoked my joint of rather tasty weed little did i know that i would be in their situation before to long.
I would walk around daily holding the pain of losing a son i never got to know properly every day was filled with heart ache and i would have days when i would just brake down into tears feeling so helpless.
Then one day i took the jump and asked for my first hit this was the biggest mistake of my life as i watched the blood draw into the syringe and then the plunger being pushed watching the light brown mixture disappearing into my veins suddenly i felt the warm blanket being wrapped around me from head to toe all pain from losing my son slowly slipped away into the mist and i was left in a state of well-being and happiness.
As the days goes by my use continued and started to rise before I knew it 3 bags of heroin a day was just enough to keep those nasty withdrawals at bay.
