Dasha Astafieva talks about her former addiction for the first time and shocks us with what she looked like in the 90s

Ukrainian singer and model Dasha Astafieva has admitted for the first time that she had a serious addiction for a certain time. SSPDaily learned how she managed to stop herself from fatal consequences.

Thus, the artist stunned us by revealing how she was addicted and used harmful substances during her active singing career. However, she recovered in time and took control of the situation, as she saw how she was gradually losing her life and opportunities.

"If you look back at my work, when I disappeared from the radar, it was the time of my addiction. When I came to a psychoanalyst, I was treated for "weather addiction" for two years. Because I didn't have the strength to say that I had tried some substances and it seemed to me to be the most exciting thing in my life. But after this high, you can think about how many thousands of moments you have to pay to come back to a normal mental state. A hangover takes one day, and something else takes weeks. And it's a big price to pay," Astafieva said in an interview with Emma Antoniuk.

The star also spoke about her attitude to her body as a teenager. In particular, Dasha shared that since childhood she was inspired by women with curvy, healthy forms when her peers admired thin models, which was a trend at the time. She showed one of her photos in which she appears thin and dressed in some of her mother's clothes.

"I suffered a lot from being thin as a child. When my friends were already women, I was so small and so ugly next to them. Me with my classmates. Look at my legs. With the same cool girls who "held" the whole school, laughed," the celebrity added.
