ADDICTION

My name is Daria and I am.... Believer

Today I went to Anonymous Alcoholics for very first time. No, I have no problem with alcohol or drugs or something else.
Ya-ya, all addicted say that they have no any problem and can stop in any moment.
But it is really not my case. I went there just to support one friend of mine. I sat in the corner, looked into this friendly faces, listen about their stories. I got to know them in person. Was surprised how "normal" they are and how big their hearts.

Topic of the meeting was "Gratefulness".

Everyone told what he/she grateful for and added some touching story from past or present time. Someone was crying. Someone was laughing.
I listen all this stories and tried to recognise what I AM grateful for? What I will say when I will have chance to say something.  This thought took all evening and way to home.

And I found it out.

I am grateful that I can ask about help. I can raise my voice and said "I NEED HELP".
And I am very thankful that in time when I trusted to tell it, next to me was people what supported and helped me.

You cannot imagine, but just to realize that you have a problem, took a decision to ask about help and spell this 3 words loud it is like a superpower.

Plenty people have too low self worth or too big ego to do it and endet up in best case in hospital. In worse case on a bottom from where way out is almost no possible because life already completely destroyed, including relation with friends and family.

I am not telling now only about drugs and alcohol. It could be depression, game addiction, shopaholism, whatever that suppose to ruin your life if not right now, than in future.

Dear You, who read it right now, please, open your eyes, be honest with you, look with this opened honest eyes on your current life and pointed out that your life is awesome and be grateful for that and proud of yourself or confess that you have problem, go to people that you can trust and say "I NEED HELP". Be brave. Turn your life in better way. Bekomme a superhero. Be sure that it is never too late, but then earlier you start then easier will be to get your life back.

With believe that you can,
Daria Lifelover

  • Why can't she see the real me?

    46:15|
    You are a funny and easy-going guy who met someone. You spent some nice time together, you were joking like you always do. But then, she wrote that you are too serious for her. WTF? Where did she find this in you? Why did she see something that is not present in you at all? Or do you just think that it's not present in you? Is the perception that people have of you the real you? Is what we feel about ourselves real? Or is it something that you want to show? Sometimes we wonder how some people can come to conclusions about us that are the opposite of the real us. Why does one person see you as a serious individual and another one as a silly clown? What is the TRUE you amongst the "opinion of others", "our perception about ourselves" and the "real you"? In this episode we speak about the perception that people have about us and how to deal with it. Do we need to change something and if yes, what? True stories and the answer to the question, “Could someone be described in their entirety?”, included.

  • I am lazy. Or am I?

    43:53|
    Are you lazy?  Would you consider yourself a lazy person?  At times, do you feel as though you have no energy to accomplish the day’s tasks or even the inspiration to get out of bed in the morning?  Do you get down on yourself because of this lack of enthusiasm?   If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this episode is for you! We will question the preconception of laziness and even challenge its actual existence.  We will propose the possibility that you are not lazy at all.  On the contrary, you a person with an inherent but often misunderstood intuition in regards to your own desires and motivations.  And as usual, we’ll share some stories and examples from our personal lives, because we, like all humans, are “lazy” from time to time...

  • Afraid of getting old

    53:28|
    As children, we are in a rush to grow up, but once we reach adulthood, we very often regret that we didn’t fully appreciate our fleeting youth   We do indeed grow up but at some point we recognize that we are also starting to grow old. The body looses the strength, speed and resilience it once had as the first wrinkles appear and the gray hair splashes. Most of us fear of aging.  How terrible it is to become old! How terrible it is to realize that youth has abandoned you!  But do we even need to be afraid of how old age can manifest itself?  Is it only a drastic decline in appearance and ability coupled with the painful decrease of sexual attractiveness? Or we feel that life is going to be end?  In this episode we discuss if we able to stop being afraid of getting old and that our set of mind make us old before we really get to this point.  Maybe adapting to aging simply requires adjusting our way of thinking.  We will tell you about Masha Panova's (@dusapin_masha) "Hide&seek" photo project and how it can change the view on aging.  Listen to the episode and share your thoughts with us!  Looking forward to hear from you!!  www.facebook.com/WRbelievers  www.instagram.com/wrbelievers www.youtube.com/channel/UCQX4fEyuM7O054b3h23Jf5g/  https://twitter.com/wrBelievers  Daria Hackenberg (Russia, currently based in Berlin, Germany) Project Manager and Agilist, passionate in philosophical aspect of life and with deep understanding to people nature. daria on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/darialifelover daria on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/darialifelover Hollis P Monroe (USA, currently based in Berlin, Germany) DJ/Music producer and YouTube conversationalist who thoroughly enjoys talking about a variety of topics in and outside of the music world. hollisTalks on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/Hollistalks hollis on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hollispmonroe/ hollis on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hollispmonroemusically hollis on line:  http://pmonroe.com/ Hollis talks to Daria: https://bit.ly/HollisTalksToDaria --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wearebelievers/message
  • Tinder dating with and without isolation

    42:16|
    Quarantine and social distancing have brought about new challenges for all of us. The restriction of physical interaction has left us no choice but to search for it on the Internet. The result seems to be that apps such as Tinder are being used more that ever before. Can virtual interactions replace real intimacy? Is it possible to find true love on a dating app? How necessary is your text description? Why do men want to meet soon? Why do women tend to want to communicate longer online before meeting? How important are attractive physical features versus good character traits? In this episode, we will tell some funny (and some not-so-funny) stories about online dating and how scammers might exploit our loneliness. Share your experience and dating-stories with us!

  • CO-DEPENDENT USERS

    42:05|
    In this episode, we examine a letter from a person who seeking advice from relationship philosopher and YouTuber, Alexander Grace. In short. he was asking for guidance on what he should do about his seemingly one-sided relationship. And although it was posted over 8 months ago,  in our opinion, this topic will always be relevant to many and therefore still worth exploring. How often do we get the feeling of being unappreciated or used? From time to time and under many circumstances, we can all feel it. But what do we do when it comes to our ongoing personal relationships? It's not easy to get out of this trap. And how often do we realize the codependent role we play  in such a relationship? Very, very rarely. How could this even be possible when you feel that you are one being used and disregarded? We'll figure it out! Listen to the full text of the letter as well as our somewhat differing analyses and conclusions in this episode and afterwards, please share with us your thoughts and experiences about these kinds of situations.

  • NO MAKEUP means she has NO INTEREST

    01:00:09|
    A week of chatting and finally the long-awaited first date, but she (oh my God!) came without makeup! What would that mean?  She wants to show that she's not interested in you?  Or does she want you to recognize her as a person first?  Or is she nice and comfortable with you? Or maybe she never wears makeup and her armpits are in the jungle? Or maybe it just doesn't matter? In this episode we try to figure out the possible reasons and question the need for makeup in general. We also discuss how men and women are attracted, both from our personal point of view and in terms of psychology, physiology and natural instincts.  What is really important and what is not? How to be attracted to the opposite sex and to remain yourself? And as always, we share our personal stories! Listen and share your opinion and your stories with us!!!

  • GET LOST IN CORONACRISIS

    41:57|
    Fear, uncertainty, instability, powerlessness, uncertainty... ...is what brings people around the world together today. We live in a new world for us and no one knows how long it will last. We isolate ourselves in our homes, keep our distance, can't meet friends or even family like we used to. The Coronacrisis is affecting each of us. Each of us is dealing with it as best we can. We believe that someone is helped by his supply of toilet paper, but it does not save from a lack of social contacts. How not to go insane? In this issue, we'll discuss a few options. Listen all the way through and find your inspiration. But the most important thing to remember is that we are still human beings and we should treat other people with understanding and not lose our humanity. Stay strong! Stay home!
