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.
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 🙏🏻
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
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!
Great better interview. Sorry u went through all that pain jack. Well done u on ur recovery u seem great . Keep climbing jack and help all that need u . U can do this . U have it in u x
that is such an inspirational guy to all the people struggling with any addiction there is a way out he s the perfect example keep it up Jack you got this!
Jack your inspiration mate,took some time you getting there.Keep doing what your doing fair play your a bright young man with a good future stay on the straight and narrow.I got addicted to oxycontin after spinal surgery 10 months clean your a warrior mate.
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❤️🙏🏼💪🏼👏🏼
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.👏🏼👏🏼
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 😭😭
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.
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.

Amazing podcast, great part 2 and well done Jack for staying sober, keep it up brother!

Try get this out around youth clubs, schools and young people.
It's a great idea
Great psrk 2. Thanks Jack.
Question - Which substance were the psychs most bothered by the k or the oxy i wonder?
God bless you. What a testimony. ❤X
Thank you! Jack truly is a brave a special soul for sharing.
How did you go to rehab 3 times? I can hardly get a phone call consultation through the doctors with addiction help
♥️ amazing
fantastic - Ket is the devil drug and it goes so missed
It really does, we hope to help raise awareness with guests like Jack
Where does all the ketamin come from ?
Seems like loads of people on it.
India
❤❤

You're onto something here for sure. There's almost always a deeper root cause to these behaviours.
@@altered_attitudes yes absolutely 💯 I've experienced similar so I can relate
Stop interrupting 😢
