I’m ‘cured’ of my alcoholism after ‘miracle’ ketamine trial – I used to sink 97 units a week now my urge has completely gone
IN a TYPICAL week, Grant would knock back six bottles of red wine and, at the weekend, a litre of vodka – that is, until he tried ketamine.
Grant spent his 20s and 30s living the high-energy life of a DJ, spinning tracks in superclubs around the world, with alcohol flowingI was drinking so much I was definitely on the road to being someone that was either going to die of an alcohol-related disease or end up with a very, very poor quality of lifewith dinner escalated to six bottles a week, eventually spiralling to vodka-fuelled binges which would sometimes end with trips to A&E.

Grant had never used ketamine and says he was nervous that morning in 2019 when he stepped into the clinician’s room.He was given a low dose of ketamine intravenously which would accumulate to a moderate recreational dose over the 40-minute treatment time. “It was as if my ego dropped away and I felt I could access a part of my unconscious where I hadn’t gone before”.day, Grant had cognitive behavioural therapy, which aims to help people manage their problems by changing the way they think.
