Unable to quit drugs
Overuse or drug addiction?
Drugs are now ingrained in our society and sometimes seem like an innocent way to relax or give a party that little bit extra. But drugs are not risk-free and can lead to addiction.
A drug affects your central nervous system. It can be a medication, but also a psychoactive substance that affects you in a narcotic, stimulant or hallucinatory way. When “an occasional line” or “sometimes a pill” is no longer sufficient, there may be a drug addiction. Just like alcohol, drugs often sneak into your life unnoticed until you can't stop taking them. Drug addiction knows no borders: it occurs in all social strata. Stress, pressure to perform and the complexity of daily life often play an important role.
Do you recognize yourself in this?
- You need more and more to achieve the same effect.
- You can't quit, even if you want to.
- Your work, relationships, or family suffer because of your use.
- You use drugs to numb feelings or stress.
- People around you are worried.

cocaine and ketamine addiction
To date, I still have to go to the toilet every hour and I have to get out of bed at least twice at night to pee. A daily reminder of my years of ketamine addiction. No one makes the conscious choice to become addicted, and everyone has a right to help. That is why I have now started healthcare myself as a recovery assistant.
