Witold Sosulski made his screen debut in the series . He then played the role of Antek, a friend of the youngest son of the Boski family. The 8-year-old felt like a fish out of water in front of the camera, and this gave him engagements in other productions as well. He performed, among others in “Doctors”, “On the Signal”, or in “Rytmie bliss”, but he is best known for his role as Witek in .
Due to problems with peers, he turned to drugs. His mother helped him fight addiction
It turns out that he has much more in common with the character Sosulski created on the screen than just a name. It all started 4 years ago when he first fell victim to peers who teased him because of his slightly darker skin color. The rejection made him all the more eager to be accepted and find a company to befriend. – For this reason, I joined a criminal group, because I felt that these boys were like me, injured, wounded. I felt that I fit in with them and had to stick with them. I turned the lack of acceptance into hatred of the world, destruction – in “Question for Breakfast”. He revealed that it was then, at the age of only 14, that he first reached for drugs, from which he quickly became addicted. He began to neglect his duties, including school ones. He didn’t care about getting good grades, he often missed classes. At one point, he even became so brash that he came to school under the influence of intoxicants. “I came to school a few times under the influence of drugs,” he recalled.
At first, he didn’t believe he was addicted. Only later did he understand what he was struggling with
The young actor admitted that the drug episode did not last long, although he experimented extensively with various substances. When his mother realized that her son had a problem, she decided to act immediately. – I came to the center after three months of taking it – he said. It took him the same amount of time to realize he was addicted and needed help. Initially, he felt betrayed and did not accept where he was. – At first it was a fight with myself, because I got to the center against my will. It wasn’t until three months later, when I was in crisis and lonely, that I admitted to myself that I was addicted. […] Later, I said that I wanted to sober up, I wanted to survive – he recalled difficult times.
On his way, he met several therapists, but not all of them were able to cope with his strong personality and character. It happened that some of them gave up the desire to help him when they saw that the cooperation did not bring results. At the right moment, however, a specialist appeared who was understanding and firm at the same time. It is to him that he owes the most in the process of returning to sobriety. – When sobering up, I needed warmth, tenderness and understanding, but also a firm hand and iron rules, because I was a gangster and had a tendency to break the law and manipulate – Sosulski concluded.
