While research has predominantly focused on high-income countries, gaps remain in our understanding of the dynamics in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, where structural homophobia, restrictive drug policies and limited healthcare access uniquely shape chemsex-related risks. There is limited research on how chemsex engagement evolves over time. This study aimed to identify the stages of chemsex engagement and examine how social, psychological and structural factors shape transitions between these stages among GBMSM in Kazakhstan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;This study is a secondary analysis of data from a cross-sectional qualitative study conducted in Almaty, Kazakhstan, between July and September 2023. Twenty-one GBMSM who had engaged in chemsex within the past 12 months participated in semi-structured interviews lasting between 60 and 90 minutes. All participants reported using mephedrone and/or alpha-PHP (α-Pyrrolidinohexiophenone). Deductive reflexive thematic analysis, guided by Life Course Theory, was used to reconstruct chemsex trajectories from retrospective participant accounts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Five distinct themes related to different trajectory stages were developed. Initiation occurred through trusted social networks in intimate settings, taking the form of unplanned encounters that fulfilled emotional needs for connection and belonging. Maintenance was characterised by self-imposed temporal and dosage limits; however, participants reported a decline in satisfaction with sober sex. Escalation involved a breakdown of protective boundaries, an increased frequency and quantity of use and a deeper involvement in chemsex social networks, despite mounting physical and psychological consequences. Dependence was characterised by a narrowed agency under escalating constraints, with substance use shifting from enhancing pleasure to coping with withdrawal, resulting in substantial impairment across life domains. Disengagement attempts described recursive trajectories with diverse recovery goals ranging from cessation to managed use. Sustained abstinence was rare and dependent on affirming care and supportive resources. Throughout all stages, structural stigma constrained individual agency, while chemsex networks provided crucial emotional safety that was unavailable in mainstream environments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;Chemsex trajectories among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men in Kazakhstan represent dynamic processes shaped by the interaction between individual agency and structural constraints, in which substance use functions as an emotional regulation strategy and a social survival stra","PeriodicalId":109,"journal":{"name":"Addiction","volume":" ","pages":"2532-2544"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13486950/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147757608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent theories highlight maladaptive memory processes - such as intrusive, vivid recollections of past substance use that arise spontaneously in daily life - as key contributors to craving and relapse; however, empirical studies examining such substance-related intrusions in naturalistic contexts remain scarce. This study therefore used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to investigate the frequency, phenomenology and emotional and behavioural correlates of substance-related memory intrusions in individuals with CUD, and how these relate to craving, cocaine use severity (CUS) and psychotherapy experience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Design: &lt;/strong&gt;A 14-day EMA study captured event-based reports of intrusions, craving and related experiences in participants diagnosed with CUD.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Setting: &lt;/strong&gt;The study was conducted in Switzerland in a naturalistic setting, with data collected via individuals' smartphones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Participants: &lt;/strong&gt;N = 43 participants (recruited in Switzerland, 16% female; 18-59 years old, median compliance rate 82.8%) with a current DSM-5 diagnosis of CUD made a total of n = 360 event-based reports that were analysed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Measurements: &lt;/strong&gt;EMA reports included intrusion episode types (pure intrusions, intrusions with subsequent or simultaneous craving or pure craving), intrusion characteristics (vividness, intrusiveness, modalities), craving intensity, episode triggers and cognitive-behavioural, emotional and physiological responses. CUS was assessed based on use quantity, duration and obsessive-compulsive use symptoms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Findings: &lt;/strong&gt;Participants recorded an average of 8.4 episodes (standard deviation = 5.8) across 14 days. Intrusions frequently occurred independently of craving (42.4%) but were statistically significantly associated with greater craving intensity when more vivid (unstandardized regression coefficient b = 0.53, P = 0.002) and intrusive (b = 0.48, P &lt; 0.001). Episodes involving craving were characterized by greater distress (b = 1.52-2.17, all P &lt; 0.001) and greater loss of control (b = 2.41-3.22, all P &lt; 0.001) and were associated with higher odds of reporting obtaining cocaine (odds ratio = 19.90, P &lt; 0.001). Higher CUS predicted more frequent intrusion episodes (unstandardized regression coefficient β = 0.52, P &lt; 0.001), while psychotherapy experience was associated with lower vividness (b = -1.45, P = 0.008), intrusiveness (b = -1.33, P = 0.004) and craving intensity (b = -1.56, P = 0.010).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;Substance-related memory intrusions in people with cocaine use disorder are distinct cognitive-affective events that often occur independently of craving but are closely linked to its intensity, particularly when experienced as vivid and emotionally charged.
