OK so this is the only place other than my local harm reduction service i can talk to about this.. so here goes.

Some of you may know ive had more than a problem with ketamine in the past… after a stint in rehab i managed to lower my habit untill it was very much under control and not a problem. i was finally able to enjoy ketamie without it over taking my life.
Well the past couple of months the use has been getting more and more frequent. A couple of weeks ago i moved into a squat which had been served a possesion order for the 15th.. so as happens with most squats (especially the one im staying at, its had drink and drug problems for over a year now, making the local newspaper a couple of time because of them reasons) the people living there cared less and less about the kind of stuff that was happening.
So.. a long time drug user who is actually a lovely bloke, but has a problem with needles offered me an IV hit of K about a week and a half ago and i stupidly jumped straight into what i see an IV habit.
Im absolutely disgusted with myself and have racked up to between 5 and 10 hits a day 🙁 Unfortunatly i have a problem being able to ‘get myself’ and 3 times out of 5 i miss the vein and end up bruising myself and having to get someone else to boot it up for me. The hands are my place of choice as my veins are easier to get there.
has anyone got any tips on where to hit? angle degrees? ANYTHING?!?!

..sorry to put this on you guys. im proper gutted its got to this point. im currently in talk with the service that got me into rehab last year and seeking help, as this is definatly not the route i want to be going down.

sorry to hear that mate I hope you manage to at the very least go back to just sticking it up your nose. When you inject do you not pull back first on the plunger and draw blood? that should tell you you have hit the spot no? are their not guides online? perhaps medical ones rather than drug user ones?

sorry not much help never known anyone IV drugs

yea always pull back the plunger. but then just get an air bubble so i dig back in abit but miss again :/ grr. im using never share needles from the needle exchange. im thinking about switching to IM as it seems easier and less harmfull. but then its the rush which is so different.

..its a dark trap

can you not just go back to snorting? are you cleaning the area first? is your K pure?

the thing is ive been pondering IV/IM K use for a couple of years now. ive always said it would be the ultimate hit. and i was right.. its absolutly nothing like sniffing it. i need to get off K altogether.

ofcourse, alchol swab the area before every hit. as far as pure K goes.. its a pure as any of the other K thats around.

the only advice i can give you which would be heeded is to use IM instead of IV. Much less room for error with a muscle, don’t fuck up all your veins mate!

It’s quite sad hearing you’ve gone down this route as i remember you pondering it on here awhile ago and said ‘i won’t inject it though because i have enough problems through sniffing it’.

🙁

But honestly please try to not inject this stuff or even better take it at all, scary seeing how addictive it is and knowing full well my mind loves it and could easily do the same.

yea they were my EXACT words. everything has fell apart in the last month or so.. relationship issues and family issues. and when someone is dangling a needle filled with your one true love (sad, i know) its pretty hard to say no. the rush is immense. but judging by the even harder time ive had since ive been booting it can not continue, thats for sure.

thankd for your comments tho guys. what i need is a kick up the batty

ive thought about it many, many times… at the end of the day tho there will always be drugs. i need to deal with that issue instead of runing away from it.

not gonna give you advice on how to inject properly even if i knew how, the only good advice you will get is to stop and asap before you look round and realise its 10 years later and all youve been doing is talking about stopping. there is no time like the present to get off that shit. do it tomorrow.

i really hope you can do it and look after yourself while you go through this period. good luck mate :love:

unfortunately thats really the only solution. I’ll make no bones about it, the fact I had to up sticks 130 miles from Reading for work and now I have a house and stable career (rather than following my desires and partying) has done me a world of good. I appreciate its way harder when some parts of the squat scene are indeed great fun, but when the lifestyle is starting to fuck you, which clearly it now is, its not worth continuing with.

Its not the drugs you would be getting away from as such its being around people who use them all day. You dont try to give up the drink by going down the pub everyday. But there will still be pubs and there will still be drink. Just a thought.
