      Lots of medicines are taken in their hydrochloride form, this does not make them inherently dangerous, and it is NOT this that damages the bladder. It is the metabolites of ketamine that cause uropathy (damage to the bladder and urinary tract). Anybody who takes prescribed medicines which are in their hydrochloride salt form need not worry, they are perfectly safe to take as directed.

    I wish this young lad nothing but the best and I thank him for his honesty throughout this podcast. I was a hard core raver 20 odd years ago and did speed every weekend. We raved with around 10 friends I used in moderation but a couple couldn’t. Most used a couple of raps of speed every weekend but a few took more and more. All were the most lovely lads you’d meet but when it came to drugs and alcohol they just didn’t no when to stop. Most of us got married had kids stopped the speed and got on with life. The others went on to become full blown addicts nothing and no one could seem to help them. They’ve both now passed and I knew they had an addictive personality but what I didn’t realise until this podcast is they needed different rehab help. It still saddens me 30 odd years later that addiction took such wonderful young men who I still miss to this day. If only the rehabs understand the difference between addiction and the addiction addicted will we have more success stories. Thank you for this podcast it answered a lot of unanswered questions for me.

I hadn't missed a meeting until yesterday, I was really unwell, it triggered off a lot of terrible memories of withdrawals etc. Anyway I happened upon your podcast and it saved my ass and sanity, I feel much better today and am heading to a meeting shortly, I'll share about this divine intervention. Thanks again, you both carry a great message .

Some days, I just grind to a halt and am scared to move and start the day, but I get myself to a meeting, and suddenly everything is ok I don't feel alone. There will always be someone who is in the same boat, and by the end of the meeting, I'm grounded. I couldn't do this alone, I've got a brilliant support network now and a son who is free from fear now. He's 27 and his peace of mind is mine. I've been in re-habs, prison and hospitalised countless times. Each time, things got worse and then critical. I was in re-hab again before Christmas and this time I knew I'd had enough and NA was my lifeline. So please, anyone struggling, give it a go. We're all walking the same road but not alone .

    No offence to the host but he needs some podcast training. Just wanted the guest to tell his story without constant interruptions and commentary from yourself which didn’t help steer it. Initially the host was creating the narrative that not all addiction start due to trauma or unhappiness but then goes on to probe him about whether there was some unhappiness around 20 mins in. I think this guys story is a great message for what can happen if you spoil your kids as it will ramp up their ego and put them on path to seek pleasure from stuff rather than the immaterial. Glad he’s off drugs and found peace with himself, ketamine left me with lasting physical consequences. Urge anyone to seek help immediately.

    About 11 and a half mins in....obsesive nature..
    I call it addictive personality....
    Ive have fallen victim to myself before, many times. I used to be a case of...i like this...im going to do it again.
    Now 40ish and can honestly say that now I've identified my personality, i can stay clear of things that i know i will enjoy, but ultimatley bring me no happiness.
    And the biggest thank you to my wife and family.
    The scariest part is the thought of abstinence, the though of 'i cant stop', the thought of shame and there is no way out..... but......there is...talk to people, take the plunge, it may feel like the world is ending, but, it will only be for a short time.
    If you truefully want help and a way out, you will make it.
    A person can not accept help from anyone, unless they are ready to help themselves. Well done young man. Keep believing in yourself.

    I had to also comment in I feel what a brave, intelligent young lad his story needs to be shared wide & far to prevent others damaging themselves. Anything to excess is dangerous long term. And I agree addiction is already there in most it just needs triggering by any substance/s and once triggered needs specialist help & intervention to persevere on the addiction journey to recovery. Often ex-addicts are the best support workers for addicts as they understand it on another level which is essential to correct help.

    Ego has to be monitored by the presence of consciousness. Lose that awareness and we suffer.....lovely chat gents. Very helpful. The spiritual journey has helped so much to ask, "who am I?" I am not my body, my name, my history, my thoughts and emotions. To know thyself....nothing on the outside will make us ultimately peaceful or happy...we have to be that awareness, that love that carries us through the seductions of this world. Who sees? Who is the witness? It is not the addiction or the addict. The addict is simply the effects of the separation from the one loving self.

    Yes the host has constant analogies,like”an alcoholic is like a stone stuck at the bottom of the sea,let’s say this fluid is alcohol ,where all that fluid erodes him away,then eventually that stone is moved by a higher power onto the shore so then that stone is dry” and enjoying nature in the sun,but whenever the tide of drink comes near him he’s lucky if he doesn’t relapse and end back in the drink with his mates.. and then he’s happy he may die early but at least that stone wasn’t lonely and had lots of fun never dry..

That essence needs nothing.....but the ego will use 'Jack' and all the stories around that to ply its trade. You are love...we all are. Thank you for sharing.

      well the witness can't be who I am since I can become unaware of walking while thinking and then aware of walking yet unaware of thinking. For something to be true it must be unchanging as far as the self is concerned. The fact these things change mean that they are true for a time but may not be the next moment, then again true the next.

      It’s not solely about willpower. Addiction is just that, whether mentally or physically. Imagine you’re extremely thirsty, the most thirst you’ve ever felt. How long would it be before you caved in and took a drink of water? I know the comparison isn’t ideal but if you’ve ever suffered from an addiction you’d know it wasn’t solely willpower or choice. I’m sure you’ve been drunk on more than a few occasions, that was a choice; you just (I’m guessing) were lucky enough not to have got addicted.

    Really great episode. Although I do disagree to the Gabor comment. The link between childhood trauma and addiction is clear. And it's not just your own childhood trauma, Gabor proves the correlation between trauma passed down through generations, which is also quite key to why people become addicts. There's a generational link that can't be ignored. I think it's clear that although this man had everything on paper as a child materialistically. It still sounds like there was a lack of in his life nonetheless. Thank you for sharing.

      Addiction is an attempt to address a lack of something. You don't get onto the addiction path without a lack of something. That's why some can take drugs and not get addicted. And why some can drink and not get addicted. They aren't looking for anything. Addicts are searching for something that they didn't get in childhood when all the neural pathways were being formed. I was in exactly the same situation as this young lad. Yes, I did have loving parents. But through looking much deeper, and from right after I was born, there were clear signs. I won't go into it all here. I'm now 3 years of sobriety after my second stint at rehab.

    6:22 adduction is a learned behaviour mostly. Trauma is the cause, absolutely. Addiction is obviously escapism from bad feeling about the self. I have addicts in my family. They are stuck in a time warp, relaying their victimhood on a loop. Self destruction. Genetic factors may come into play with MTHFR like conditions. Mostly It's behavioural. Linked to NPD etc. Other personality disorders & fragmented psyche. Spoiled brat syndrome, which this lad highlights.
