"The Wim Hof Method has changed my life."

I'm Filip.

Two years ago, I started to have serious psychological problems

which were caused by my devastating lifestyle.

Heavy depression, panic attacks,

anxieties and fears.

In 2017 me and my wife divorced.

Family was for me the 100% joy and happiness

and the loss of the family...

with my two beloved sons,

10 and 13 old years now.

It totally broke me.

It broke me completely.

And I stopped enjoying life.

I didn't know a way out.

I was still suffering.

I felt wronged by my ex-wife.

And I started to destroy myself consciously.

Three years of total destruction.

Addicted to alcohol,

huge doses of alcohol,

hard drugs,

amphetamine, cocaine.

And gradually I also added gambling.

I lost everything.

All the property.

My house.

And I was just laying in my former house,

and was waiting for the end.

Thoughts of suicide ran through my head almost daily.

And as a last resort with the big help of my sister,

I went to an addiction treatment center of a psychiatric hospital in Prague,

and there I received a Christmas present,

a book called ‘Iceman’ by Wim Hof

I read the book in one sitting and I was so fascinated by Wim’s story

and something happened inside.

I felt that the Wim Hof Method could be the right help for me on my new wave/path

The path from dependency to independency.

I started to practice Wim Hof Method every morning

4 rounds of breathing followed by a cold shower.

It has changed my life.

The Wim Hof Method became an integral and crucial part of my life.

I used to take five pills of antidepressants per day

pills for attention deficit disorder and ADHD,

and after two years I'm not taking any medication.

There was also some therapeutical work

but the Wim Hof Method was 80% of it.

So I feel that

I want to pass my experiences and my story to the other people,

including people addicted on alcohol and drugs.

And it makes really deep sense for me.

That's my story.
