A 21-year-old man from Huyton is set to have his bladder removed due to the severe impact of ketamine use. Joe Massey is sharing his story in the hope of preventing other people from suffering the same fate.

Joe said he developed serious physical and mental health problems due to the affects of ketamine, but like so many people trapped in the grip of addiction, he hadn't realised the devastating impact it was having on his life. However, Joe is now in recovery, motivated to help as many people as possible, and raise awareness about the dangers of ketamine, as well as the vital importance of support services for young people caught up in the crisis.

Joe said he started using ketamine when he was just 15-years-old, recreationally at first, adding: "But then it just got a grip on me [...] I was doing stupid things, things I'd never do sober, but I thought I could handle it, not really caring about my life, because I had nothing. It all happened quite quickly to be honest, and by 17, I was urinating my bladder out."
