I qualified for financial help with one of those places that advertise on social media (Joyous, if you know it), and I've got enough to buy myself the first month of pills.
Curious as to if anyone has had experience with it. On paper it sounds like it would be great for me, but my ma is scared of it cause apparently there are horror stories going around in the news. Way I figure it, if it doesn't help, at least I get drugs.
Hate to be the party pooper, but do you think this is good for your sobriety? Like do you feel confident you can stick with a program and only use the drugs as therapy rather than recreation? I only ask because I know you're still "young" in recovery. Just looking out for you.
I am by no means sober, just not drinking anymore so it isn't a concern. Appreciate the check in though!
Okay, please be careful with whatever you do going forward.
Having typed out my "trip report" of sorts. I want to second this.
I wouldn't recommend using anything as an ongoing crutch. That has brought me nothing but pain and burnt bridges and suffering for 15+ years. If you choose to try and experiment with ketamine treatment I can only recommend trying it as a one-off experiment, or a series of experiments over the course of a week or two.
If you are successful you won't need to keep doing it. You may find you benefit from re-doing it once a year, or once every six months, or something like that. I understand that in a professional setting this is often the approach.
But I think re-dosing, re-visiting a cathartic dissociative therapy session/s should, eventually, be unnecessary as you build a healthier life and mental space.
