Somebody supporting another with ketamine addiction
My first post and lengthy at that …
My eldest son is addicted to kettamin , one of the many drugs that is the devil in our eyes . I found this forum off another site ….
We have watched him go from a beautiful young man who had so much to live for to a man who will be 30 this year and can’t see past his next hit. So many times we have been lied to , hurt , watched him on a high 💔 steal and so much more . The pain it has caused not just for me but for my whole family is intense . He doesn’t want to be that way … he doesn’t want to have a bladder that is unrepairable that no one will seem to help with , he doesn’t want to go through the pain . BUT … always a but … taking ketamine eases the pain that they go through , it makes them forget . Easy to get hold of , cheap as chips - no excuse I know …. They should want to stop they should want to want better for themselves and those around them and my god I would do anything to turn back time and change his path of life .
Ketamine is the devil draining & stealing him from us from the inside out 💔❤️🩹

My son was also addicted to Ketamine and you are right it is the devil. It causes the pain , then it's the only thing that can stop it. I had to let him go to reach his rock bottom which was the hardest thing I have ever done and he eventually decided he wanted to live and be healthy and has transformed his life. I live a day at a time as he will always be an addict but he is 5 months sober so there is hope but you cannot do anything to help him till he is truly ready..we wasted £10k on rehab before he was really ready. I'm afraid you are helpless to do anything that will change his behaviour as he has to find the strength inside himself that may never come..we enabled him for years. Just look after yourself as you deserve serenity and peace. I found Al Anon very useful to learn how to do that as detaching with love from your child is so so hard. You didn't cause it. You can't cure it and you can't control it ❤️

How did you let him go ? I’m the type of person who just can’t seem to do it , I think it’s the guilt of if something happened to him I would never be able to live with myself , I’m afraid of that .
He lives with us . He barely comes from his room but he says he hasn’t used in Jan” this year . I’m not so sure .
I go to work every day and wonder if today will be the day ! I hide my emotions at work as I don’t want people knowing . Some days are so hard but work seems to be my escape .
I have tried to support him in going to CGL but it’s never got past the first 2 weeks . I wish I could just send him away and he’d come back fixed …. That’s a dream I know . He is such a lovely person I just wish he could find his true self 💔

I understand where you are coming from as my beautiful daughter rang me in the middle of last night crying as she had relapsed yet again. Addiction is pure evil especially when it's your son or daughter. My heart goes out to you.
