The book "Drug Hell" is a true story of the former drug 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.
