Seven years ago, my sister, who was 16 at the time, used Ketamine as a leisure drug, being convinced that it's safe to use, harmless and doesn't provoke addiction. She was so wrong, we were all soon to discover. First of all, we did have to call the ambulance a couple of times, because she would become unconscious and unresponsive after she inhaled (she used to heat a few Ketamine drops over an open flame, in a spoon, and sniff the resulting powder), and second, she did get a powerful addiction, even if they call it psychological. It was a long, painful affair from which she recovered only substituting another addiction: sport. She is totally addicted to sport, and she goes to the gym for as much as three times a day, around two hours each session. I call that excessive, even though it seems to be helping, and she's not on any drugs anymore. I wonder how common it is for somebody to overcome addiction by replacing it with another, healthier, safer, unusual addiction. |

I am positive that her sport habits represent a genuine addiction, but the fact that not only is it not harmful, but it's also very beneficial should make the thought that it's still an obsessive behavior more bearable. I think that psychotherapy can help in this case.
"MD junction is a place for us to share our experiences both good and bad it is a safe haven from the ignorant and the doubters a place to vent ask advice or just get away from it all.
