Kelly's clean from ketamine and thriving

Kelly joins Markkus, Director of Treatment & Aftercare at Broadway Lodge, on her two-year clean anniversary (February 2026). After staying at Broadway Lodge in 2024 for ketamine addiction, Kelly has remained clean and sober, from ketamine, other drugs and alcohol, ever since.In this episode, Kelly reflects on life after university in 2013, when nights out on the rave scene led to experimenting with ketamine and other drugs. What began as fun escalated, and before long she found herself crossing a line, where fun turned into a ketamine obsession, and a life without substances felt unimaginable. This came despite the painful physical health challenges she was experiencing as a result of regular ketamine use.Kelly shares her journey through treatment at Broadway Lodge, her decision to embrace abstinence, and the work she’s done to build a fulfilling life in recovery. Today, she still enjoys raving, but now does so clean and sober. She also talks about all of the recovery activities and projects she’s involved with that continue to help her thrive.It was a pleasure to reconnect with Kelly and hear how positive she feels in her recovery. She also discusses co-founding The K-Hold, a new ketamine-specific support group in Bristol, launched in March 2026. A big thank you to Kelly for courageously sharing her experience of addiction and recovery so far. Please note – this episode contains explicit language and details and descriptions of drug use.All Miracle Mansion Podcast episodes are available to listen to and download on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts.
