Never slept walk before but I've had some dark times with some confusion and having some mild hallucinations like seeing little quick light flashes and feeling like bugs crawling on me but I'm currently going on 25 hours off a week bender relapse 😔😔 I been trying to quit for some time now and just started watching your videos and a bunch of others all night cause I couldn't sleep.. I been through about 4 or 5 pretty serious withdrawals before and this one feels a bit weird, cause I have been feeling like I'm detached from myself or the world before yesterday and I never knew how to explain it to some of my friends (they kinda know about my drinking habit) the best way was just telling them I'm feeling stupid and like I don't even exist! .. it's been a battle this past month and half (2020 tbh) and it's not like I have insurance either so I usually just do my home detoxing which works for a week or 2 then I'm right off the wagon again .. been drinking really heavy for the past 5 years and honestly the part where you said about not eating, yeah thats like me, I don't eat when I drink and it's been like that since I basically started to drink heavy.. everytime I make it to a few weeks I overcome the withdrawals (at home) and then I start to feel better and think clearly and just feel better but this year, with everything going on and not being able to find work just tends to make me fall back and that's why I'm a little afraid when hearing all these things with seizures and stuff and how I'm seeing like weird creepy creatures just randomly flashing and I've never hallucinated kinda like this I'm totally aware of everything thats going on and I know it's not really there, totally conscience of it and what I'm doing, but like I can move around and talk (come to think of it, I'm rambling aren't I??) It's just the weird hallucinations and not knowing how to deal with no Benzos to help, if I even need help like that.. I seriously want to quit and have been wanting to for the past year but always fell back, and thanks to actually looking for some help and understanding whats going on and what exactly alcohol does to your brain and just been doing a bunch of research and hearing everyones stories just kinda reassures alot and helps alot so I wanna say thank you because I do NOT want to go through any of the worst possible outcomes like death and things like that or continue to put poison in my god given body! I just want my life back 😪 .. sorry for the long text but it feels good to just let that out right now.. and I really appreciate this being a help for me, I never really started to look up on youtube for any sorta virtual AA classes and methods.. I guess maybe I didn't really wanna quit as much as I said and I really do now!

I had 3 years sober. Relapsed. It's been a gnarly ride. Today I've been up since 2:30am and drinking. I can normally function but I called into work today because I've realized I've neglected what I'm dealing with. I'm scared. I wish I could go to detox again but I don't have insurance. Your story is inspiring if I put myself first and have faith that all can change if I deal with my alcoholism first. I'm writing this with one eye open trying to spell correctly. Wish me luck. I'm calling my support peeps from recovery today. God I hope this changes. I miss chasing my fullest potential. Thank you for being honest in your videos

Hang in there. Also, if going to detox means using a credit card, it's worth it, trust me I've done it. Health first.

Have you guys had any experience with auditory hallucinations like hearing music playing through vents? Or hearing radio stations in the "sky"? I thought I was going insane. Actually I thought I was actually hearing radio frequencies. While I was detoxing. I wrote down the stations I was hearing because after the song I would hear the DJ. And the weird thing was.. After my treatment right before I left. my doctor said he was glad i was doing so well because they were really worried about me. But he said the weird thing was, all of the radio stations I wrote down were actual popular stations in that area. I lived like 4 hours away from there so I wouldn't know.

Yeah. A guy that I was in rehab with said he heard the radio talking to him. For me it wasn't audio. "Just" bugs and tentacles and worms all over, which resulted in me having to take a picture of the BIG spider in my corner just to see if it correlated with what I saw. This was after me spraying imaginary stick bugs with two cans of bug spray plus jumping on them with a dog food bag. I saw one of the bugs here the other day, but now that I've been through it, I understood that I had to just turn my head and sleep a bit more. But! As he says, go to detox. I'm going there in a couple of months.

This video really helped me I thought I was crazy for so long and never found closure about my experience long story short. I was hammering a nail into a stump in my head for 2 weeks straight and every time I hit the nail I could see my family all around me crying and I was at my own funeral, I was eating random shit off my carpet that I thought was Xanax and could hear trucks idle outside my window I could never explain it that well but I’m so happy that I’m not alone finally some closure and all my questions answered.

After coming back from the hospital after detox, when I got home and tried to sleep. I closed my eyes and saw animals on a pathway or road, and they started to turn into super creepy moving alien like black things from closing my eyes. Was so weird, and when I fall asleep during withdrawal, I have crazy dreams where someone was in my room and would hear them walking loudly or running toward me without seeing them and I would jolt and wakeup. I'm on day 1 and slowely tapered off a beer. I have a feeling I'm going to have crazy nightmares and wake up in cold sweats. Alcoholism sucks...

I have also noticed my brain will mix up different songs but in a sick way and I can hear them like you were listening to it from a speaker. Like I really heard this shit.

Probably a bit late but here is my story. Unfortunately I fell into 5-day binge during holidays, some years ago, and trust me I didn't know anything about withdrawals... So I did it, hanging out with friends, drinking all day and night since I woke up to sunrise, barely sleeping or eating properly. I remember after 4 days of that I had a dream which I thought it was real and I felt totally terrified. I thought I did things I didn't, so I was basically confabulating, which is a thing that can happen after or during alcohol abuse. I asked my friends about the things I thought were real and they were looking surprised at me saying that none of that happened. I felt I was going crazy. All I had on my system was alcohol and that can make your brain go nuts, basically. Some years later did the same, and it got worse, but that's another story. In a quick note, alcohol can be okay in small doses but if you can't control it it's just better to avoid it altogether. Cheers and thanks for the video.

It’s a spectrum, alcoholism. One of the key indicators is “a phenomenon of craving” that happens after any amount of alcohol. Another is the progressive nature of the disease, the consequences get worse, the ammount we drink increases. Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.

I'm 37 years old, I am a daily drinker. I am currently on Naltrexone for alcoholism. I find myself still drinking daily, its only helped a tiny bit from week to week if I get lucky, I may have 1 or 2 dry days a week on Naltrexone, doesn't seem like much of an improvement. I have had previous concussions in my life, and I have had a couple of seizures in the past 18 years. I have struggled with alcoholism literally for 20 years since I was 17 years old. I have had EEG and MRI scans in the past 10 years, and everything is normal, doctor clearly suggested alcohol withdrawal in which I believe is true. you mentioned the end of alcoholism is desperation, I think my situation has come to that. In the past 8 months I have now had 7 seizures!! literally every few weeks, as combined with more multiple head injuries, that now maybe causing more seizures as a result. I had a seizure while I was driving last week, luckily no one was hurt, i did not hit anyone. But the police believed I was under the influence of drugs, and they did not even let the ambulance take me, I had postictal combativeness when i came out of the seizure and had apparently "kicked" the officer, as to which I hardly remember I was very disorientated. They are charging me with assault on a peace officer and driving under the influence, in which they have no proof! no breathylzer was taken because I was not impaired or on drugs! I have to wait 6-8 months for my toxicology result to come back (they took my blood). I need support and other people's perspective on this situation. And prayers

I would try to limit my drinking but I was still drinking 2.5 liters ish a day and my head goes funny people say I ramble I have been sectioned under the mental health act then I start having seizure I don't know I have them I only knew when my alcohol worker come to my house in the morning and I had 2 infront of her and I was rushed to hospital a few times, then I had a detox while in hospital with in a few hours I was shaking being sick I couldn't hold a cup because of the shakes even with very high doses of librium, and around 2 days in the hallucinations started I had had delirium tremans before but its still very scary the things I saw and did blow my mind in one day I messed my self 4 times I didn't sleep for 8 days it was hell on earth I didn't know where I was then I got covid while in hospital around day 8 or so and my confusion was out of this world I was talking to things that were not there .I've had 4 detoxes 2 in hospital 1 while sectioned and 1 in rehab I got delirium tremans in all 4 not all to same degree, alcohol is frightening I've been addicted to heroin and alcohol is as bad but worse in some ways it can get a hold of you so bad

I can't do self-diagnosis but I think I had DTs on April 2019 and this week. Started drinking expensive beers everyday, it started to progress, I started to drink these expensive beers before worktime and when the money ended, traded to hard liquor. Lost my job as they found it and then did a "self-detox" at home back then. Thought it had the worse as I literally felt like bugs were eating my body. I undestand there was no actual bugs, but I couldn't run the feeling they were. Thought I was cured of alcoholism but I had a huge relapse last week and I was drinking, passing out, woking up, drinking. I think I drank about 1,5 liters of cheap-crackhead esque Brazilian spirit (cachaça) per day Now I stopped but it's been the worst so far now. I have a little bit of alcohol to drink every hour but I'm still suffering. Body odor started to smell like alcohol and it's grossing me out. But it's getting better. Also my mind is totaly a void. Can't remember a thing it happened recently. I hate alcohol. It ruined my life and my family's. There was once a time I was coming back from work on a bus and I was brownbagging Thought I had it controlled but I woke up on a hospital, tied and wearing diapers. I still don't really know what happened that night, but involved firefighters being called and I lost my prescription glasses. Also all of the concusions I woke up with that I just don't remember. I think they were all fights. When I'm sober, I'm a shy, quiet person. But if I'm hammered, I become violent and angry. I tried doing the "social drinking" but now I know I can't start because I have a disease called alcoholism. If I start, I don't know where to end.

Still going strong. I had two seizures about a week ago, went to the ER and they gave me two shots, one of diazepam and one of promethazine. The next day I went to a neurologist and told her everything, that I was going through alcohol withdrawal, that I haven't slept for 3 days because I was taking care of my soon-to-die dog, and that I wasn't eating well enough. She prescribed me diazepam, which is a benzo, even though I said I had problems with alcoholism. I told my mum to hide it and only give me the daily dose because I can't trust myself with that amount of benzos.

I could write a book on this also! But to get to DT's you got to drink for years and years. Like steady, everyday or passout drunk for 15 plus years. Dont let this scare you if you drank for years or inhibit you from stopping alcohol. Fear of these things is why most dont try to stop but the science is there and if you do good research one should go into stopping drinking with some good info and not scare techniques. In my research and others fears of the unkown causes apprehensions to stopping. Stop drinking and be prepared to do it and commit. depending on the years u drink affects the severity of your withdrawls and how long they last. After that....its like getting over a messed up flu. Like the worst u ever had. After that (Few days to 2 weeks) its all a mind game. 90% of getting over alcohol is mental. Its the 10% (Going through withdrawls) that scares people...lmao! get past that part and have at it cause that where the real strength comes into play. At the end of the day..u did this to urself! You got to get out of this on ur own cause no one else can except you. Do it or be forced to do it from a car crash, nervous breakdown, jail or many other ways.

When a person says they got 20 years of drinking stupidity does not give them any more wisdom than the person who did heavy drinking for 5 years. I never understood that nor apply it to talking or dealing with other problem drinkers. It has no bearing or experience. Its kinda like argueing who is stupider. LOL...not a good arguement to be in. If thats the case im a moron...30 plus years of heavy heavy daily drinking. Thats probably most or all your years in age. With that said...it gives me no more credibility of alcohol wisdom. Hospital visits only gives you reflective perspectives of alcohol damage. Hospitals, rehab, blah blah blah is more of a.."If this...then that happens". Conditional statements. And as far as Statistics and rehab industry...fear is a big marketing target to promote and advertise too. Not that there is no truth in it cause there is some. Example - If you get a splinter in ur hand you should go to the doctor. Its sound advice as we can turn a splinter on paper to potentialy get blood poisoning or gangrene. The numbers are there to support that very splinter. Fear is the #1 reason people dont try to stop drinking. The fear of seizures, hallucinations, etc! Which is very very rare. Most that go into DT's die from heart heart aneurysm and respiratory failure. Most and i mean MOST have a medical history related to these. There are more conditions like Ketosis of organs and liver damage and all are prior medical problems like history of seizures or prior concussions. Alcohol can just be the "Straw that broke the camels back". Kind of like that splinter I was talking about! I can go into the numbers of actual %'s that are medical and board examined that are not paid for or impartial to the rehab industry. Not bashing the rehab industry as they work and i am all about getting that work done. Just dont like the scare techniques and them being passed on as valid knowledge because one went through hell and medical experience. TBH...if it scared ya to not drink...im good with it. But I dont think one should pass on bad info based on their experiences. To me its kinda like when a person says they know all about marriage cause they been divorced 3 times. I say that person doesnt know crap about marriage cause they been divorced 3 times. i would rather take advice from the person who has been married 40 years and never been divorced. Thats the way I see it and to me its relevant to good info being passed on to people who do need help with alcohol or whatever else.

I hear you, but respectfully, I have different opinions. If it weren't for the direct experience, strength, and hope shared with me from other addict/alcoholics that had survived to get sober, I wouldn't have known how to do it. I was powerless, without a power greater than myself, which ended up being the guidance of the 80 year old collection of experience that is Alcoholics Anonymous. Read the comments. Many people here have found my shared experience extremely relatable and helpful. AA is based on the shared commom experiences between the sober and the afflicted. 80 years of effectiveness, the pudding is the proof Also, fear of DT's and withdrawal is a very tiny insignificant reason that RARELY, if ever, comes up in conversations about why people didn't stop drinking. Alcoholism is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit, that destroys all three AND things like social competence, financial security...the list goes on. I find it hard to believe you are an alcoholic, simply because you think one can "just stop drinking." I got one question for you. If it's as simple as "just stopping," why do millions of alcoholics drink until they're dead, locked up, or insane? Your insistence that your opinion is the only way, is irresponsible and dangerous. Luckily, anyone who's experienced the powerlessness of alcoholism knows what is valid, and what is not. I appreciate you sharing your opinion, but disagree with your aggressive, "I'm right you're wrong," attitude.
