Married at First Sight alum Doug Hehner overdosed on opioids nearly 12 years ago — but he only just told his wife, Jamie Otis, the story.
“There was one time where my sister had to wake me up because she heard me coughing in my sleep,” he recalled. “I don’t know if I ever mentioned this [to you, Jamie]. … This was bad. Being ashamed of something for so long and not wanting to bring it up, it’s really difficult [because] you want to black out a lot of the bad things that happened.”Hehner — who was living with his parents at the time — was gurgling in his sleep, which worried his sister.
As he remembered seeing his parents’ faces from inside the ambulance on his way to the hospital, Hehner broke down in tears. “I was just thankful to be alive, how close it could have been to not being here,” he said. “I haven’t thought about that in a while.”
