By Marina Jung

A powerful true story about cocaine addiction, told from a mother’s perspective, revealing the hidden dangers of a widely underestimated drug.

Marina Jung recounts the true story of her son’s descent into cocaine addiction and the devastating impact it has on both the individual and the family.

What begins as curiosity and experimentation quickly develops into a destructive cycle, as a young, intelligent and ambitious student loses control over his life. Despite repeated attempts to break free, the addiction proves relentless.

The narrative offers a rare and deeply personal insight into the emotional reality of addiction, not only for those affected, but also for those around them.

Interwoven with factual insights, case studies and reflections on the growing social acceptance of cocaine, the book reveals how widely underestimated and dangerous the substance remains.

Kokainjahre is both an intimate account and a broader exploration of addiction, shedding light on its psychological, social and physical consequences.
