How have you been? I’m not finding anything recent!

I just got through DTS, but I had no idea what happened to me until I found this video. I was doing research to figure out what the hell just happened. Now, thanks to you I know it was Delirium Tremens. I just decided to stop drinking; and thought it was gonna suck sweating and shaking etc. Then confusion and hallucinations came on gradually, but before I knew it I was in full blown DTS. My experience was almost identical to yours; we even saw some of the same demons, shadow people etc. We are truly lucky to be alive.Thank you for posting your experience to educate people and possibly save lives.

Remember this: you’ll never have to do this again. Side by side, shoulder by shoulder, forward we go!

Yep. Been there at least 4 times - the last time, I had a small heart attack, while I was cutting my wrists. I survived and am 2 years sober. The experience was terrifying and I am still anticipating the terror of it.

Thank you for sharing. An engaging raconteur you are! I tend to believe that the Minister was on to something. A medical response is necessary but the underlying cause is spiritual - alcohol/drugs rendering the veil that protects us from negative energies (ghosts/spirits...). We should not divorce the two: physical/spiritual.

It sucks because I still enjoy drinking. I know it's killing me but I almost don't give a shit. I've had dts 4 times now so I know what's up.

Ive heard people telling stories about seeing very dark demons with yellow eyes. I like to listen to your stories while im working, even if remembering that feeling makes me sick 😃 ive only hallucinated once, i just saw some red numbers or symbols spinning in my eyes. But i never had a really horrible dt's. By the way, have you ever considered to try to recreate your hallucinations by photoshop or just drawing? Id love to see ^^

the dreams are something else. I’ve been through all that bullshit minus the DTs. Every day is a battle to make it to the next that’s an understatement. Take your energy into staying sober and your life will completely change is far easier said than done for people like you and me. Hope every one is doing good

Does this mean hell is real? I mean why do so many of us experience this when we are so close to death through alcohol withdrawal... I've seen things I never thought I'd see, or things I didn't think my brain was capable of creating. There has to be some explanation more than that are brains are shutting down... they are but why do we see all of the explicit and craziness while we are in this state? I'm so intrigued.... thank you for making these videos ❤

Holy hell Batman! Watched a couple of your videos. It's making me question a few things I've experienced... I'm going to watch some more. If you're well please keep making them. Thanks. Bless you

I worked with a guy who told me about his experiences. He was full-blown DT, and he to this day is terrified by the package of Quaker Oats. He was "followed" the Quaker Oats man...

I am not a young man, and I never enjoyed drinking. Although I had a number of other chemical dependencies, treatments, meetings...etc, I almost never imbibed in alcohol. It just didn't work for me. About 4 months ago, in a moment of weakness and thoughtlessness, I took a 2-3 year old bottle of vodka, which I kept for company, out of the freezer and decided to have a few shots. Within days, I was drinking a 1 liter a day. Morning , noon, and night. Today, after going cold turkey at home, I have been dry for 5 days, and the hallucinations are finally subsiding. The last 5 days have been a nightmare, literally. I am facing monumental personal challenges as a result of the last 4 months, and have no solid plan regarding how to address them. I only hope that I don't pick something up, again, or I will be done. As I have no other support, thank you for your videos.

I cant imagine seeing hallucinations like that or your daughter story. I recently had to deal with them for the first time. I kept seeing my dog behind me in the reflection of my phone but he wasn't there (at my moms). Then I actually saw my bed sheets moving around as if he was in them, but when I touched the sheets there was nothing. Also various things crawling on the ceiling. Gave me massive chills and scared me off alcohol like you. I was actually watching your videos right before I experienced that.

The repercussions that can come from that can be lifelong and devastating. nobody with any time in the program and understands how it works will let him do this. he had actually been banned from several meetings for the danger he poses to AA and newcomers.

Nobody is going to die from posting their progress in the program on any social media platform. If anything, we need to be more active in getting the message to other addicts,which is exactly what Dirk is doing! His videos are a grim reminder to myself and anyone else who has reached the absolute rock bottom from drinking. I understand where you are coming from about the issue of anonymity, but if that individual agrees then why not? I'm fairly new to sobriety myself, and I can appreciate videos like this. We're all in the same boat as far as alcoholism is concerned, so why not support each other in our endeavors to fight this addiction? I wish I would've known about DT's and the devastating mental and physical consequences of alcohol back when I was in my early 20's.

It was always about 30 to 50 feet out, and it was VICIOUS‼️‼️ But, he/it never came directly at me. I remember the terror of just making being 'stalked', and I'd catch glimpses of it but never in full view. But whatever it was, I KNEW it was fucking BAD.

Good evening. I have to say that you look almost identical to my older brother (half-brother.) It's really uncanny. Anyways, I don't know how I didn't experience alcohol withdrawals. Off the record, would you think that it could have been because I was on benzos (and still am) when I quit? I'm one of the people that can still drink recreationally, but I quit going to the bar every night in 2016. I might have a few beers a few times a year and that's all. That being said, I still take valium to this day (as prescribed.) Xanax was a whole different story. That stuff combined with drinking led to countless blackouts. Well this is the first video I have seen of yours. Keep doing what works for you and I wish you all the best!👍

I got lifted off my bed day three back broke one time forward then back then forward I fell back in bed I prayed for a nights sleep and Gods protection since I had 3 days no sleep. I quit a binge cold turkey when I woke up next morning I was in disbelief my back was not broken. It was a dream with my eyes open. After all the hallucinations I saw that night. And got sleep. The demons tried to kill me that night.

Yup. I was staying in a hotel alone in another city on a trip going to visit my long distance gf who was paralyzed and i was going through DTs and heard voices of people in other hotel rooms screaming my name and calling me a fucking asshole over and over and was fully convinced people were after me saying things through the walls like they were gping to skin me alive and shoot me in the spine and paralyze me too and heard loud rap music from a truck right outside my hotel room and the lyrics were all about killing me and how all these guys were fucking my paralyzed girlfriend and taking turns wirh her. I thought the entire city was after me and trying to kill me. I ended up going outside the hotel room and trying to confront these random people that didnt exist and trying to open up other car doors and other hotel room doors. I ended up calling 911 on myself that night and ended up in a psych ward for a week detoxing. Truly demonic evil stuff and its trauamtizing how real it all seemed at the time. I was probably going through some other ptsd at the time but it was definitely DTs amd malnutrition from only about a few months bender. Do not underestimate alcohol! It was the worst night of my life
