Reality TV Watch and make a decision!

Hemingway once said, "A person needs two years to learn how to speak, and fifty years to learn to be silent". The Doctor Life project participants were acquiring this skill during the mindcrafting program. They had to spend one day alone, without saying a word! This would allow everyone to think, put their thoughts in order and get ready for a new path.

The girls were first to go for the test. Two yurts of silence stood apart, on the edge of the shore. It was especially quiet. Serenity reigned around, as if to help the addicts to catch the emptiness.

However, in the late afternoon the storm began. Sharp change in the weather could not be better to illustrate the state of "taciturn persons", about which the doctor told the participants on the eve.

"It may be irritability, anger, resentment, disappointment. It is important to go through it! Work with your internal state "- Azamat Usupov, the addiction psychiatrists advised.

Cold and a strong wind that night forced Irina to move into Ekaterina’s yurt. They were able to share their impressions only on the next day.

"I went to Katya because she had a door in her yurt, and I didn’t. But there it was not better at all. Steam from the mouth. No place to get washed. Otherwise, it was fine. I wrote a letter to my husband", - Irina said.

The rest of the participants also wrote letters in the night of silence. Basically, they asked for forgiveness from their close ones, who were forced to suffer. Alex wrote a very touching letter to his mother.

“In the end of the letter it was written: "Mom, you'll be proud of me! You're no longer going to suffer because of me!" Thank you for always believing in me!"- his mother Alla shared with tears in her eyes.

Only two persons: Anatoliy and the Italian did not pass this experience. They are the most old and "experienced" participants in the project. Doctors said that they had a similar experience, remaining alone with themselves for longer periods, since both were in prison.
