A group meeting in Paris focused on helping individuals reduce or stop chemsex use has been reported by 20 Minutes, offering a rare glimpse into the sessions held by the Le Spot sexual health center, managed by the Aides association. Chemsex refers to the use of drugs during sexual activity, often involving substances like crystal meth, GHB, or mephedrone. The group, called "Chemsex Break," meets every Thursday evening and brings together people aged 24 to 63 who are either trying to stop or reduce their chemsex use. Participants share their personal experiences and discuss strategies that have helped them in their recovery, whether they are aiming for abstinence or simply taking breaks from chemsex. The sessions are designed to be non-judgmental and supportive. To avoid triggering cravings, the group does not name specific drugs or consumption methods. Instead of using the term "relapse," which can feel stigmatizing, participants use terms like "misstep" or "reconsumption." The rules of the meeting emphasize respect, with no interruptions, no flirting, and no encouragement of drug use. Discussions often center on challenges such as resisting the temptation to use drugs at large social events, avoiding chemsex encounters on dating apps, and whether sexual abstinence is necessary to stop chemsex use. Participants have varying levels of experience with the group, with some attending for months or even years, while others are newer to the meetings. The Le Spot provides individual follow-ups to support continued progress. The atmosphere is described as relaxed and open, allowing participants to share their struggles and successes without fear of judgment. One participant, Jean-Christophe, said the group has saved his life and has been with the association for six years. The meetings end with participants feeling more supported and stronger, often expressing gratitude for the shared experiences. The "Chemsex Break" group highlights the importance of community and structured support in addressing the complex challenges of chemsex use. By focusing on solidarity and understanding, the group offers a safe space for individuals seeking change.
