Life After Ketamine | Jack Curran's Path to Recovery

[@frankrose2116]

I’ve been an active ketamine addict for 15 years had 3 years clean time in the 15 years with a relapse Covid lockdown. Just joined the fellowship and been working with getting clean. I share this young man’s pain and I’m glad someone’s speaking out on the healthcare system and lack of help. Towards the end you feel like dying because you can’t see the pain going away. You feel self isolated and alone. If there’s anyone out there that feels alone or have burned all your bridges please join Narcotic Anonymous there’s no judgement and a huge amount of support from amazing people.

How did you manage with the cramps? Been using far too long now need to give it up before my health takes a major decline.

[@TheMark1840]

[@nickalexander4431]

Yeah I agree very impressive resilience by this miraculous lad. Not many people would survive what he's been through. He has alot of heart!

[@altered_attitudes]

Thank you for your support

[@clairechennells9839]

Can relate to this so much, the poison is different but the behaviours are the same. I didn’t find my surrender till I ran out of all possible options, to take my own life was the only way out I could see. Leaving two children behind. Luckily I found AA instead, 2yr 7 months in and now working in drug and alcohol services there have been Ketamine webinars for all staff within our organisation I haven’t got in it yet but there’s a number of dates. Jack thank you for telling me your story, it’s been really informative, you deliver a strong message 🙏🏻

[@altered_attitudes]

Yours and Jack's stories are testements that Recovery Is Possible! Thanks you for sharing.

[@harrywilliams8847]

I sniffed Ket every day with my best mate for 5 years until he died from a collapsed lung from ketamine getting into the lungs from sniffing and surprisingly this wasn’t my turning point to stop my turning point was my mum crying breaking down in front of me and her telling me how scared she is to loose me and that she’d be full of guilt

[@Ellis1-i6q]

This will be very inspiring and relatable to a lot of people. You explain things really well Jack. Ketamine is a generational problem and the physical problems are shocking as you explained. Just an idea but I feel there is a book to be written about your story Jack!

[@altered_attitudes]

We think a book about Jack's life is a fantastic idea!

[@nickalexander4431]

@@Ellis1-i6q yes indeed, I'd buy the book 👍

This was a really positive Podcast. I know of Ketamine from friends who took it now & again in the past, but I didn’t know much about it, and Jack huge respect for being so honest & open, its whats needed to really help people. This Podcast & Part 2 were compelling, even though I dont take it, now I’m older I like to keep aware of newer things for the future as I have family reaching their teen years etc & I’d hope to be someone to talk to for them. So glad you have managed to make the life you have today Jack, and wish you the best with your health, hope gradually it improves that bit more. You have found your purpose in the battle & journey you have fought through. This kind of information is SO important for young teens & upwards. Best Wishes & Prayers to you & your family❤️🙏🏼💪🏼👏🏼

[@altered_attitudes]

Thank you for your kind words and support

[@lauj888]

You’re very welcome. It was a very interesting podcast listening to you both. Its whats needed to help the younger teens getting in to it. Respect to you both.👏🏼👏🏼

[@lauj888]

P.S You got yourself a new subscriber as I think this kind of stuff is so important. It was very well articulated by you both.

[@sonjapewter9058]

Great pod cast ❤

[@altered_attitudes]

Thanks Sonja! ❤️

[@SCresswell-k1y]

Well done jack you are such an amazing inspiration to many of us watching, you told your story with so much passion and realism, I’m going to show my dr it and ask her to give it a watch as I’m really trying to tell her it’s this and all she done was gave me thrush cream because a uti wasn’t detected 😭😭

[@altered_attitudes]

Thanks so much for your kind words, I hope your Doctor takes the time to watch the podcast and they can help you, if you need addiction support in the UK please don't hesitate to get in touch, our details are in the video description.

[@kieran-o2c]

Really enjoyed both episodes. Jack, you have to keep it up and hop on more platforms and get your story out there. Speak proper well.

[@harrywilliams8847]

How did you go to rehab 3 times? I can hardly get a phone call consultation through the doctors with addiction help

[@maureendrennan9328]

Try get this out around youth clubs, schools and young people.

[@altered_attitudes]

It's a great idea

[@dominicshaw4140]

hes a good chap, well done!

[@truth-hurts3089]

Great psrk 2. Thanks Jack. Question - Which substance were the psychs most bothered by the k or the oxy i wonder?

[@maureendrennan9328]

God bless you. What a testimony. ❤X

Stop interrupting 😢

[@nickalexander4431]

I'm not sure about his mum, she probably meant well, but the Dad wasn't present emotionally at least and probably also physical presence thereby creating the issue and then he's exacerbated the problem with lack of understanding. And this kid is fully blaming himself for everything. Personally I don't even blame the parents, I blame society for Programming the father for focussing on providing with materialistic things rather than true connections with his child. I'm pretty sure it's a common problem in society these days.

[@altered_attitudes]

You're onto something here for sure. There's almost always a deeper root cause to these behaviours.

[@nickalexander4431]

@@altered_attitudes yes absolutely 💯 I've experienced similar so I can relate
