A point was made
For the incredible strength of will, dedication and love for her husband, on the project she was called a "Decembrist’s wife." Olga Kroshanova supported her husband Andrey from the first day at the clinic. And now she stands at the foot of Tashtar-Ata, the Mountain of Salvation, waiting for her champion. The fact that her husband will wade through, she didn’t have a bit of doubt.
"They said that they are not so far away. Only a matter of minutes. I worry for him a lot; because I know that he has a strong pain in his legs. Therefore, I’m stressed out, as your Victor would say," - said Olga, looking in the direction from where the pilgrims were supposed to come.

Their families, doctors, and just strangers believed in them, and they did not disappoint. Swollen hands, worn in the blood feet, tanned, weather-beaten, haggard faces of pilgrims and tired, but good look is the result of their hard six-day journey from the foot of the high-mountain pass Ala-Bel to the Tashtar-Ata Mountain. Of the four participants to the secret place, breaking the 250 km with the "stone of soul" on their back, only two reached the final - Anatoliy Nesmiyanov and Andrey Kroshanov.
"One hundred points to this project! I have changed drastically. I look at the world through sober eyes. I see that you can experience the joy from different things, other than drugs. Easiness appeared. A lot of things. Soul breaks out!", - Andrey said.
According to Anatoliy, he was supposed to come to Nazaraliev’s clinic 12 years ago. But for various reasons, got to do it just now. To the question whether he feels that a point was made, Anatoliy said: "I put an exclamation mark! All is well! The pilgrimage just changed me. My ego was telling me that I had to pass it. It is a feeling of true freedom and ease!"
| "We agreed with Andrey that if something happens, I will hit him, and vice versa." |
During the pilgrimage, they had a hard time, both physically and mentally. Andrey had moments when he wanted to give up, but he did not. Anatoliy also drove those thoughts away. When it was especially difficult, he remembered his mother’s eyes and his dead brother.
“We agreed with Andrey that if something happens, I will hit him, and vice versa. Thankfully it didn’t happen. Feet were swollen a little ... Nails were peeling off, but the rest isfine! (laughs) Fourth day was the hardest. It was hard to walk. Then I had a terrible pain in my legs. You do not feel them, they just walk themselves. It is important to disconnect and meditate,"- he said.
Two other finalists of the Doctor Life project - Victor and Ekaterina also came to Tashtar-Ata. The four of them went to the mound and threw their rescue stones. Now they are free and ready to start a new life. The doctors of the clinic congratulated them with the victory over their vices, and gave certificates.
The project not only gave them a second life, but changed them dramatically. Reminding the wolf from the famous Soviet cartoon, at the end, Anatoliy said: "Before, I was very angry, and now I'm kind!" and how they will be successful in the new life now depends only on themselves.
