Koen Kardashian open about addiction: ‘I was already sniffing the coffee’ | gossip

entertainment">His addiction has only gotten worse ever since and he started using it at home. “I already snorted with my coffee in the morning. Five grams a day, that’s a lot. I didn’t sleep, I was always awake.” Yet Koen denied that he had a problem. Until it really got out of hand in the following months, he says in the interview. “I canceled all my appointments, I didn’t see anyone anymore. My eyes were on ghost mode. (…) I became isolated and became more and more lonely.”

entertainment">When all he was doing was sniffing, in July he asked for help from his close friend, TV host Anna Nooshin. He immediately flew from Capri to Amsterdam and brought him to his parents, after which he arranged a rehab clinic for him in South Africa. In retrospect, he realizes that he had had a problem for ten years. “I called it chic a ‘dosage problem’ myself, but I was just addicted to typhoid. To cocaine, but really to everything there was, for want of better.”

entertainment">His (childhood) traumas – being bullied as a child, sexual abuse, robbery – were discussed in the treatment. Although that was quite intensive, Koen calls the withdrawal process ‘the best gift I have given myself – no Birkin bag can compete with that’.
