Drug Hell: Drugs and crime

by Paul Murphy, Kimmo Harjula (Editor)

The book "Drug Hell" is a true story of the former addict, and criminal, Kimmo Harjula. His hell began when he was only seven years old. His parents were alcoholics, and he was continually beaten and sexually assaulted throughout his childhood. To survive, he began to sniff glue, smoke hash and drinking alcohol. His life became a crazy mess, filled with drugs and serious crime, which lasted for over thirty years. He was placed in forty-six foster homes before the age of eighteen and spent fourteen years in prison. He finally found a way out of his misery through therapy, and today, he is completely drug-free and works as a therapist to help other abuses become free of addiction.

interesting

Can’t give the book five stars as so many grammatical errors (which may actually be language and translation issues in fairness). Can’t make my mind up whether all this is absolutely true or a bit of embellishment of the truth. However clearly he has worked hard to recover and I wish him well.
