Hope you're okay now my friend. Stay strong

Since my son’s alcoholism & recovery, I’ve become aware of how alcoholism is the butt of so many jokes; fodder for so many comedians; and a stable character in so many sitcoms know as the town drunk. Also, the number of commercials that glorify alcohol: Can’t have a fun party without it; can’t get the girls without it; can’t look cool & sophisticated without it. They’ve stopped commercials for cigarettes because nicotine can cause cancer and sometimes damage thru second hand smoke. Although I know alcohol can kill & does kill the drinker, I’ve never heard of car accidents killing people because someone who smokes got behind the wheel. Never heard of women & children being beaten due to a mean cigarette smoker; never heard of someone losing a job because of smoking. Yet, TV is saturated with alcohol ads. Never realized how many until I nearly lost my son to the disease. Just saying.

Alcohol marketing is so insidious. It should for sure be restricted more than tobacco and have large explicit warning labels.

I watch these videos every time I get the cravings for a drink.

this sent chills down my fucking spine - creepy timing it's pops up given I've got 6 months dry and was just thinking about/planning having another crack now I'm in good shape. and convinced myself I'm not an alcoholic. DTs are the most ruthless hallucinations I've ever experienced, auditory and tactile I was convinced I'd been drugged. what was terrifying is when I turned the lights on they still kept going, the most powerful hallucinogenic drugs don't even come close - at least you know those aren't real. Things pulling me, screams, choking me and attacking me for hours - people in AA/NA rooms here have no idea what I'm talking about - so it's good to know I'm not the only one. thank you for sharing, looking forward to continuing to watch your channel!

Man, I took a HEROIC DOSE of psilocybin (mushrooms), 21 Fucking Grams!! That's right, 21... And that didn't come CLOSE to real Delirium Tremens. Oh! You will LOVE my NEW CHANNEL! Alcoholics...ONLY!!! I talk about the crazy shit I did totally fucked up(!). Its pretty entertaining:) Anyway, thank you so very much for your positive feedback and support! Dirk Delirium:)

Thank you so much for sharing your story! My little brother went through Delirium Tremens a month ago and relapsed earlier this week and is going through it again. You’re the only person my brother and I have been able to find that has been through the similar hallucinations he’s been and is going through. He now knows he isn’t crazy, but of course it doesn’t make it any less terrifying. Him knowing he isn’t alone is going to help his mental state so much. Thank you!

I think the shear fear and stress of these hallucinations (having seen the prior videos) may literally be enough to frighten someone to death through hart attack/stroke etc. maybe the human body and mind just finds away to shut down to escape the chaos.

My DT first started with spiritual attacks ...

My DT started with a cat in my house (I don’t have a cat) and it was shooting strings out of its mouth that were sticking to my skin and all over the house. I could hear two of my best friends in the other room talking about how they were gonna kick my ass, and I went into the room see what the hell was going on, only one of them was there laying on the couch and he melted into the couch and turned into blankets. It got worse when the roof started leaking because it was raining outside and all the carpet was soaking wet. (Nothing in the House was wet.) Thank god my roommate was actually there and took me to the hospital. In the hospital I met a man with ram-horns, and I tried to escape the hospital. But without going into detail, I’ve been there and I’m still here today and in good shape. Hoping the same for you my friend.

I’ve never experienced anything to this level but I have definitely gone through more mild withdrawals in the past. I was hospitalized about 5 years ago for it. Just an overnighter, they gave me a banana bag and plenty of fluid iv’s. Plus some medication when I left to ease the intense anxiety, and allow me to sleep. I know I need to stop cause I’m heading down this road to it becoming much worse. I’m 31 now and been drinking pretty hard since I was 19.

Got clean for almost a month with a very gentle medical detox recently (benzos and barbituates). Still was hell but I managed. But I relapsed and have been drinking very heavily for 3 weeks and tried to go only 24 hours sober yesterday. The hallucinations and nightmares were so painful coupled with the sweats and shakes that I'm afraid to stop drinking again. I've had over a fifth today just to maintain sanity. I have access to benzos and could taper with beer, but this shit is so scary. I can't afford detox, I'm also injured and unemployed. You're the only resource I've been able to find that I can really relate to, i'm only fucking 22 man, I'm not trying to drink 1-2 liters a day till I die. If there's someway I can reach you i'd really appreciate it. I've been hiding my relapse from my family and want to nip this in the bud before I face pancreatitis (which I'm bordering on) or irreparable liver damage.

@@DeliriumTremensScaredSober 2 months ago my friend died from DT-s...

I know this video is 2 years old, but I have a very similar experience. I had been drinking heavily for about a year and a half, not sure if that was long enough to experience alcohol withdrawals, but I was certainly drinking to die at that point. I kept starting, stopping, etc, until one time I began a 14 day binge, an entire gallon of vodka a day, mind you I'm 5'6 and was 120 pounds, so that should surely have killed me. I began to hallucinate after stopping that binge, a hint of rationale leaked through and compelled me not to drive to the liquor store again; I knew it would only get worse. The hallucinations went from projections on the walls of several "memes" that I thought my roomate installed, to images of text saying "Enjoy your death bozo" with a skull underneath, to me somewhere along lines driving to a liquor store one last time, hallucinating my dad and staring at him, unable to talk~ The signs read weird oddly sexual and otherwise humorous things, the green interstate signs doubling up on each other (like there being a smaller green sign on the side). People seemed to wave at me from the back of cars, random protesters appeared on the sidewalks, I heard some guy say "what happened to your car?" So I pulled over and checked, I thought I saw a massive dent, so I did my best to make it back to where I lived at the time. I have no idea how, but I was never caught. No one called the cops, no warrants for my arrest, I mean I was drinking while driving like an actual tweaker, I showed clear signs of intoxication, but no one stopped me. For some reason, no one stopped me from drinking, no one really tried to get me to stop, just half assed attempts like saying "you should watch your drinking", then never trying again. I ended up in the hospital, shaking uncontrollably and 4 days later I woke up, still terrified but no longer shaking. I wanted desperately to walk around but there was a camera watching me and a security thing on the bed that would sense if I got up, so it was just panic attacks. I couldn't gain my composure for months after that, and still now I don't entirely have a grasp on reality. I would rather go through every awful thing that I was put through in childhood a thousand times than to experience even 1% of all that again. I'm not exaggerating either, there is no way of "getting used to" what alcohol addiction put me through. I appreciate your videos, they keep me from going back in to that time.

@@DeliriumTremensScaredSober It is all too real indeed. It took me a year to really get back on my feet. Everything was dystopian, it was like my existence in general was like... Well imagine scraping your knee on the sidewalk, my entire body felt like it had been scraped and scraped, over and over again long after the incident. My mind was as dry as scattered bones in a desert, devoid of any signs of anything else but that sensation. I couldn't think, I couldn't even be consious. I never could have guessed something like that would happen to me, but well, no one does. No sober mind can comprehend it. Maybe someone with schizophrenia can, but at least they aren't totally lethargic and literally on the brink of death. It's psychosis but the demons you see can actually kill you. I am not at all the same as I was, but who I was was someone who was willing to die for the sake of intoxication, so, I think that's a good thing, and to be honest your videos are what got me to decide to step up, once I knew what it was that I experienced~ Your the only case where not being alone in a situation actually made me feel better; with everything else being alone was the same as having millions around me, because after all someone else suffering with me didn't mean my suffering diminished, until now that is. Every so often I'll rewatch your DT videos when I feel like giving up, to remind me of where I am now compared to where I was then. Sorry for the long reply, I'm not good at summarizing 😅

I have experienced delirium tremens on several occasions. The best advice I can give is to go to the hospital or a medical detox. This can be hard to find in some areas, but at least see a doctor and try and get librium, adavan, or Valium to help with the symptoms. If you don't you can definitely die.

Why don't we campaign against alcohol and not alcoholics?

Coming up to 7 months sober. Thankfully never had real DTs but im sure i would have if i kept going. Had the withdrawal symptoms of sleepness nights, nightmares, anxiety and brain fog everytime i came off it. I caused destruction every time i drank and because this is a progressive disease it kept getting worse and worse. AA is the only answer

Tried to read the detailed account on your websites, but its been flagged? Apparently its been reported for phishing? Let us know if you ever get it fixed or reupload the story.

If i dont know for sure if this will happen to me, should i just abstain and wait until i start getting these hallucinations before i contact the hospital or should i go ahead and just do that? Because ive tried to quit a few times recently and only relented to the debilitating anxiety and increased heart rate. Im only asking because admitting my self could have life consequences, but it could possibly end my life if not. Im a heavy drinker of 6 years. Its never been liquor for a prolonged period, mainly beer, but its a pretty contant stream of drinking. Thank you for your videos. Please help me not leave my son fatherless.

I am a spiritualist who has witnessed unexplainable things that others were many times witness to, not visions, but situations with outcomes that could not be logically explained. I have seen enough to believe their is something out there that we don't sense with our eyes and ears. The visions could have been your subconscious mind tapping into the spirit world as way to warn you of impending death. You didn't realize at the time that death was near correct? These visions were a warning. I wouldn't say it was the "devil" per se, rather a good force that was warning you and ultimately saved your life. I find your descriptions fascinating and although there are many scientific theories about what was taking place on a chemical level, it still serves to reinforce the belief I have regarding the spiritual aspects of this phenom.

Yes, absolutely. IF I actually KNEW what was 'going on'. The problem with Real Delirium Tremens is this. It gradually creeps up on you, until you are in full hallucinations. I thought what was happening WAS real, as I could not differentiate reality from this psychosis. Its CRAZY! And, that's what kills us in withdraw. Real DT's are not common. They only affect about 3% of real alcoholics. About 200,000 cases per year. The mortality rate is up to 70%. Bad news. That's why I STRESS that if ANYONE begins to show the early signs, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. This will save your life! We die from heart attacks or strokes, plus grand mal seizures.
