Ketamine Addiction: Finlay’s Story of Pain, Recovery and Purpose

In this powerful episode of Catch Me When I Fall, Finlay Worthington shares his lived experience of ketamine addiction — a story of emotional disconnection, physical harm, and ultimately, recovery.

What started as a party drug quickly spiralled into daily use, isolation, and serious health consequences including extreme bladder pain and hospital visits. Finlay opens up about the reality of addiction, the cycle of relapse, and what finally helped him break free — from rehab to finding his purpose in helping others.

Now over a year sober, Finlay runs Ketamine Education Services (KES) and works to raise awareness of the growing risks of ketamine use in young people.

This is an honest, sometimes graphic, but hopeful conversation about what ketamine can really do — and what recovery can look like.
