In the late 1990s, he made his debut on the big screen in the comedy-drama “Ajlawiu”, directed by his father Marek Koterski. Today, he has many more great roles in productions such as “We are all Christs”, “Krime story. Love story” and “Gierek”. And although he was successful professionally and enjoyed unflagging popularity among viewers, he was unable to find fulfillment in his private life.
He was 14 years old when he first started using alcohol and drugs. This is how Michał Koterski’s addiction began
Starting his career at a young age paradoxically made him much more shy and found it difficult to establish relationships with his peers. He struggled with feelings of low self-worth and loneliness. It was then, as a 14-year-old, that he first took drugs, from which he quickly became addicted.
I learned to live with them, few people knew that I was constantly taking drugs or other types of substances
– on the pages of the book “This is My Last Life”, adding that at the same time he also began to look into the glass more and more often. Ultimately, addictions took over him completely and at one point his life fell apart. Although he was considered a star, in fact he didn’t even have a roof over his head. – I was sleeping in the stairwell – some time ago in “Dzień Dobry TVN” the moment when he finally decided to fight for himself. He went to rehab and then therapy, after which he got back on his feet.
Michał Koterski talks about addiction. His father and grandfather also struggled with alcoholism
Michał Koterski has been sober for less than a decade. He fulfills himself as an actor, and in private he is a husband and father of 7-year-old Fryderyk. He makes no secret of the fact that she is his greatest pride and wants to do everything so that he does not share his fate. – My greatest success is that my son Fryderyk was born as the first Koterski in a sober family. He broke the generational relay – in the latest interview for “Pytanie na breakfast”.
It turns out that the alcohol problem had been in his family for generations. His father struggled with addiction, and earlier also his grandfather, whom he never met for this very reason. – It’s no secret that my father also suffers from alcoholism. Today, I haven’t drank for 20 years. His father, my grandfather, got drunk, I never met him – he confessed, adding that he tries to be a conscious parent and is already educating his son in this aspect. – My Fryderyk was born in a sober, safe family, inexperienced with the hell of alcoholism – he concluded.
