My Journey--Pilot.
Hi, I'm Aimee and I am 26 Years old.
I first started using opiates when I was 20, when I met this guy I had a crush on at work. He was very nice to me and treated me like a good friend. We started hangin out a lot after we talked a couple times at work and through texting. His name was Billy (changed for privacy). He was a delivery driver and I was the manager at the restaurant we worked at. he introduced me to percocet. I never really ever experimented with drugs before then other than pot. It made me feel so amazing--that I couldnt feel any pain from anything mentally and physically. After 30 mg, we did 40, then 80, then i just started doing heroin because it was cheaper and i got such a better high from it.
I have been doing heroin for 5 years. I've recently been clean for a little over 1 year now. I feel anxious almost every day and I'm getting the help I need from it. I am married and my husband has been supporting me every step of the way....our marriage has kind of been on the rocks because of my addiciton....we haven't been sexual in a while. Just the thought of being touched by him makes me cringe....maybe I'm just not attracted to him anymore? My head is killing me every day, the headaches are constant....who ever said recovery is a beautiful thing was delusional....
