When Jill Vidal and her ex-boyfriend, Kelvin Kwan, were arrested in Japan for drug possession in 2009, the news stunned fans. In a recent four minute video clip, Jill Vidal recounted her recovery from heroin. She detailed her struggle in prison and battling heroin withdrawl. In the video, Jill spoke in English and Chinese subtitles were provided.
In April 2009, Jill and Kelvin visited Japan and Kelvin was caught with possession of marijuana while heroin was found in Jill’s luggage. Two years have elapsed and Jill has returned to Hong Kong. However Jill and Kelvin no longer maintain contact with each other.
Upon her arrest by the Japanese police, Jill was detained for 60 days and her case was highly publicized. This caused much suffering and Jill spiraled into a very dark point in life. She was most affected when her parents did not offer any support. Her only pillar was her twin sister, Janice Vidal.
Jill was detained in a rehabilitation clinic to help quit her drug habit. She was chained and during the withdrawal episodes, which occurred at 3 or 4 AM in the morning, her body ached. It felt as if her bones were being nibbled by ants. Her pain was not merely physical but psychological as well. She felt scared and lonely at this time. Suicide to end it all was an option Jill had contemplated.
Dr. Cheung, a psychiatrist consulted by the Sun newspaper, pointed out that the hardest part of quitting heroin was passing a one week withdrawal period. Heroin addicts have been seen to ram their heads against the wall or vomit bile.
In a moment of faith, Jill said to God, “If you are real, please help me.” When she awoke, her heart felt different; it had softened. Since her belief in God, she has mended ties with family, friends, and colleagues. Currently, Jill was dedicated to her faith and was grateful.
In her professional life, Jill has not yet seen any opportunities. When the manager of Amusic was asked about Jill’s future, she said that Janice will be recording a new CD but the company did not have plans for Jill yet. While in Hong Kong, Jill helped with church activities and improving her skills. In 2010, she made a brief appearance to celebrate her boss, Leon Lai’s, movie release <翻生奇兵>。.
On the contrary, Jill’s ex-boyfriend, Kelvin Kwan, was in a different position. After his detention in Japan, he returned to Hong Kong. He career was put on professional hold (frozen) but his god father, Alan Tam, publicly supported him. Last year, Kelvin returned to the music industry and released a CD. This year, he appeared in an episode of《親密損友》。
