i didn't know who he was any more. it must have been incredibly difficult to see him like that, knowing that wasn't really rian. no. it wasn't him. it wasn't him — it was the drugs talking. but i couldn't get through to him. no matter what i said to him, i literally could not get through to him. and we tried everything that we could to try and, you know, stop him from doing what he was doing. rian started to struggle with bladder issues as a result of his prolonged ketamine use and ended up going to rehab. he was walking into rehab like he was a 90—year—old man, like on a — with a walking stick or hunched over, and his legs were bowed. he looked really, really poorly. government figures show ketamine addiction has more than quadrupled since 2016 in england and wales and use is estimated to have more than doubled in that time. and with those under 25, it's more than tripled — a growing concern for the british association

so we can see that the use is higher during weekends — on fridays, saturdays and sundays — which probably points to the use of ketamine in recreational settings. try them both, mate. it's now later in the night and we're back with chronic ket users beth and jay. what is the physical impact for you now of taking ketamine? i can't walk down the street. i can't walk 50m without either needing to sit down or needing to run to the toilet. when i first went to the doctors in urology, they had no idea. they said, "we don't know what's going on. "all we can tell you is that your bladder has shrunk." you could see on the camera screen ketamine floating amongst my urine. it did also cause a big growth, where they had to burn that away immediately. when it's sort of at its peak as well, i can't engage in any conversation.

of urological surgeons. i think we've seen a huge explosion of young people taking ketamine, and that means that they come to see us with significant urinary symptoms. and these symptoms can include going to the toilet every hour or every half an hour. and what the ketamine does is it destroys the lining of the bladder, and that can have very serious consequences. we've noticed throughout the whole country — we always have discussions amongst other urologists — that there's a huge explosion. all of us have seen pockets in certain places, some very high use of ketamine, and lots of young patients with severe bladder problems that we would not see until patients are much older. as a result, they're now putting together a document to help other health professionals spot the signs of ketamine bladder. ketamine is really popular in bristol — so much so, there's even

i struggle to focus on anything. i can't work, i can't, um, yeah, i can't — i can't do anything. i can't feed myself or go and get a drink. yeah, it really disables you completely. this is what was coming out, these blood clots, after i had to have, like, an operation. but yet, it's still not enough to be able to stop you from using it, right? it does make you think. it does make you really consider it more. you think, "right, i do need help with this now. "and i do want to stop now." but then, a part of me thinks, what's — when i do stop ketamine, what have i got? my life's been about ketamine for the last nine years now. so, once that's gone, i feel like what do i really have left? you feel sort of lost, yeah. is that how you feel, then? that's how i can feel, and that's where my depression comes and that's when i start to think, well, i might as welljust keep on using, keep on using. and if i lose my bladder, i lose my bladder. if i lose my life, i lose my life. if i lose myself, i lose myself. and that's what makes me

it does destroy your organs. it does destroy your bladder. we wasn't taught about it in school. i kind of wish in uk schools that they would teach children from a young age that this stuff — you stay away from these kind of chemicals. my hope now is to engage in some support groups. i have support workers now and doing something different, going to the gym, making my life better and that's the steps — the next steps for me. i'm hoping that, you know, i'll get back into work, get back into my career path, and one day being the person that has recovered from this really rubbish journey that i've been on. but the hope is there and it is going to happen. lam determined. i don't want this life for myself any more. you're doing it this time. yeah. no matter how much you think it's taken your life, how much you think you've got nothing left, you can always gain that back, so it's never too late to reach out for help.
