  • Delirium Dirk experienced the most frightening experience of his life when he went into 4 days of Delirium Tremens. He recounts his experience in detail of audio and visual hallucinations as he suffered in agony for 4 days. He describes his encounters with the Top Hat Man, Demons, Shadow People, and the Hooded Figure. He provides insightful information in the world of alcoholism, Delirium Tremens, and Alcohol Withdrawal. Which at times can be horrific or comical.

      Dirk was an executive chef with years of experience cooking the finest dishes. But his cooking days came to a screeching halt when he died on December 3, 2023.
      Dirk was found dead at his Huntersville home by his wife. His wife immediately tried to resuscitate him and called 911. Dirk was partially decomposed.
      Dirk died from Morphine toxicity, according to after death medical findings. Dirk had 0.27 mg of Diazepam in his blood and more than 20 mg of Morphine.
      0.44 mg of Nordiazepam was also in Dirk's blood stream. Dirk was in the military. He was also a corporate executive chef for years.
      A few years ago Dirk started a restaurant business named Halina's Cafe & Catering
      After death medical findings say Dirk had a past medical history significant for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, depression, alcohol abuse, a transient ischemic attack, and substance use.
      Dirk admitted online that he formerly struggled with alcoholism. Dirk leaves behind a wife and loving children.

    Amazing story Dirk, and I have been through similar. A functioning alcoholic for many years and then made the mistake of taking a few months leave from work before starting a new job. And BANG, I ended up in a 24/7 drinking binge for months - tried to stop when I realized I had the new job to go to and ended up with 3 ambulances on just one weekend. Here in the UK hospital staff hate alcoholics and give you a dose of librium and turn you out onto the street. Halucinations from sleep deprivation, total insanity. I sold my car in the end to pay £3500 to go to a detox centre which saved my life. I would honestly say that full blown alcoholism brings you right to the door of the Devil himself - and to get out of that true HELL is WORSE than anyones nightmare. I lost everything and everyone because of alcohol because NO ONE wants an ACTIVE alcoholic. As you said in your vid, this stuff is REAL and AA is DO or DIE

    Hello Dirk, and thanks for your content.
    I have had minor DTs (I think - definite audio and visual hallucinations) after a true bender down in Cuba about 10 years ago.
    I have off-and-on (more on) drank for the past 15ish years. I did quit about 3 years ago, for 1.5 years and did not have any DTs.
    I drank about 10 days straight, 2 weeks ago. I am now 78 hours since I finished my last drink. About 18 hours ago i was in bed reading a book when I started hearing this faint noise, hard to explain, every time I would move my eyes side to side, or up and down. I took a sleep aid and was able to fall asleep fine. I have had no hallucinations since waking up about 8 hours ago.
    I guess my question for you, and anyone else here experienced with this - when you entered DTs, were the hallucinations persistent or did they come and go? I am thinking the best thing is that if I, say, start hearing phantom music in another room in my house, assume things are getting worse and place the call. Elsewise, maybe I am in the clear? Fingers crossed, anyways!
    This stuff is getting scary, watching videos like yours and starting to feel certain things, knowing full well that I have been drinking altogether too much for a prolonged period. I anticipate taking things 30 days at a time, trying abstinence. I think its the only way for me, as it is for many with AUD.
    I appreciate the content you put out, and am proud of your sobriety!

    Shows what we can survive, brave creative man. Kudos to you. I just did a benzo withdrawal and been suffering the same kind of thing. I shut the door paced, vomited, auditory hallucinations, dark shadows, no memory, insomnia for 7 days then had a huge seizure which endowed me with 2 black eyes. I think I'm slightly delusional still, convinced all the cameras are hacked. I think it's the scariest thing I've ever done but worth it not to be on pills and stay awake like a healthy person. I'm sure I nearly died as I refused hospital I was concussed and delerious after the seizure. Never take benzodiazepines regularly its the same as this. I had every symptom. I'm going to 12 steps as soon as I get through the prescription and don't feel exhausted and scared.

      @@DeliriumTremensScaredSober I had no idea that benzo withdrawal cold turkey would be the same as all the stages of alcohol withdrawals. The shaking right through, pacing the floor. It has been like medieval torture or going through the ten stages of dantes inferno. Finally because I was too terrified to go, I went to the Dr and she put me on a reducing dose of 2mg reduction every three days. I'm on 14mg now but a week rest staying there. I'm so damn determined to get better though, sometimes I feel like a passive bystander while my body systems go crazy and other times I feel it is like fighting fifty demons.
      Thank god you recorded this dirk, as I don't half feel like a scumbag sometimes, all dirty and can't do anything about it. I'm past the worst I think and praying I never have a seizure again, it was like being hit with a truck or violently knocked out by a boxer.

      Trouble sleeping is totally normal.
      And man, you didn't blow SHIT! You put together 6 months!!! You didn't 'loose' that. You just lost a couple days when you drank, that's all. It took nothing from your clean time but a short break. So, just jump right back in there:)👍
      You know you can DO it, because you have DONE it! Now, just do it again.

    I've never heard anyone talk about proper DT's before this. Most people I know think its just a bit of shaking. I've been through it twice, once in hospital which was fairly mild & once cold turkey. Far too long a story but the highlights were a non existent radio (that I thought my ex girlfriend had planted in my room) playing a constant talk show of people slagging me off & any songs that played had the actual real tune but lyrics changed to include me. I tried climbing out of my 2nd floor window as I could see my 2 yr old son playing in the traffic outside (he obviously wasnt), hearing people plotting to kill me outside the door etc etc, theres far more as it lasted around 3 days although to this day I'm not sure if it did, it would take a books worth of writing to explain what happened in those days. It was the most terrifying time of my life & I just wanted to die. I got through it & relapsed about a week later (Standard really for me at the time). I'm 13yrs totally sober now but hearing your story really brought it back, I never want to go through that again. Thanks for sharing this & I hope your still doing well.

      Hell...I liked them so much, my dumb ass went thru them 4 more times. It's absolutely insane to think of the lengths I would go thru for alcohol. And, that's just what happens.
      And, were I to drink again and then stop without medical supervision and assistance?
      I'd be RIGHT BACK into full blown Delirium Tremens after withdraw. No thanks-
      But I really appreciate your story! Stay around, and I'll get some new ( old) material together on some of the later DT'S.

    • @kanyakakakundu1660
      @kanyakakakundu1660 2 роки тому

      Apparently Iv also had a series of DTs. It's easy for somone who's had it before to have it again after relapse and heavy drinking again. In my experience, the next episode of hallucinations is less scary but more dangerous. The first is the most scary coz you don't know what's going on. It's so scary and will make you run away from things that are not there. I was being chased by bees, spider, scorpions, snakes and even things i never knew existed like centipedes, iguanas and believe me it's went as far as dragons. Haha. And there was a certian kind of smoke following me everywhere basically tormenting me, like making me go mad. It was the one of most scariest time of my life. I ended up getting hurt badly. I could have accidentally killed myself and it would have looked like suicide. It was like a terrific horror movie and I was the victim. The other episodes got worse as It involved people who were not there, shadow people, black man slayer and more. More less like demons. And I could communicate with them and most of them mad it clear that they are after my life. It was terrible each time. It was like having an encounter with the devil. When I survived each episode Ild always vowel never to drink again but always fall back and go through it again. It has led me to getting arrested and even being locked up in a mental institution and rehabs coz people thought iv gone crazy, well I did. I love alcohol and the only reason I quit is because I'm scared of the madness. Trust me, everything you talked about on your channel, I have been through it all. I could have been dead a long time ago. I never want it to ever happen to me again.

    I was drinking for years , up to about 4 pints of hard stuff a day. Stopped abruptly. Day and half later thought people were planning on breaking into my room that I was renting in an apartment from a weird lady. Was sure I was going to get robbed , could hear them talking through the walls a 100% real ( I thought they were going to kill me and were in the cartel ) , had a friend nearby , ended up taking all my stuff out of there abruptly and going to my friends in the same apartment complex. Hours later I could hear them knocking on doors and asking where I was , shooting the neighbors because they wouldn’t say where I was. My friend made told me I need to leave and should go to the hospital. I was convinced it was real. I left to another friends house and slept in a tent in his yard. The people were back and they were going to come into the tent and kill me. I had the bright idea to start yelling I have a gun to scare them away, cops came. I was relieved I was going to be safe . Arrested for disturbing the public , let me out of jail in the morning. No phone wallet or anything . The group trying to get me was back. Ran across the freeway without a shirt . Running and climbing fences and the group found me in an avacado farm. I convinced them I would be useful to their team and so the recruitment process began. They flew me to South America , was stuck in this farming area for about two days , no water and no shirt. I stole a truck when the cartel came and drove to the capital of Panama City ( even crazier story during those two days) . Parked the truck , wiped it down and tossed the keys in a bush.Found a big hotel and went to the reception asked the front desk to help contact the us embassy. She didn’t understand and asked which office , I was in a city in America ( won’t disclose hear) wandered the streets for about 20 miles , used a palm tree leaf to wrap myself to stay warm near the beach, met some tweaked a to a gas station , got an ambulance to the hospital . ( this was two days after I got out of jail but it felt like a week and about three days into DT. At this point I was convinced I was an atf recruit , then the cartel found me. The only way to save my family from being captured was to kill myself . The nurse in the room ( big Mexican woman was talking about ms 1 and ms 3 , my mind figured she was ms 13 , turns out those were room numbers. ) she was going to kill me and was whispering on the phone to the guy who was originally was going to rob and kill me from the first day my location. I grabbed a plastic pen from the nurse , locked myself in the bathroom and tried to lunge it into my neck, got it in there a bit and it broke in half way. Doctors came in and gave me injections and took me to another part of the hospital. Day 4. I’d love to tell you the rest of the story, I’ve never shared the whole thing with anybody.

    Incredible story. Thank you for sharing. One question I have though i must have missed it sometime throughout, but why were you not hospitalized during this? Even later on when you were involved with the police did they not suggest to bring you too a hospital either?

    • @DeliriumTremensScaredSober
      @DeliriumTremensScaredSober  3 роки тому +2

      Oh yea! They took me to the hospital (police) while in FULL BLOWN DTS!
      Prior to that, as they creep in, I had no idea I was in them! Never experienced anything remotely close to it prior...ever. And, when I was seeing and hearing all the crazy shit, it was simply REAL to me! God, I wish I had been hospitalized!!!
      So, when the police brought me in, they handcuffed me to the bed for almost 8 hours. They thought I was on PCP or something, so they tested me for EVERY drug under the sun.
      Negative on all.
      At no point, EVER, did anyone ask if I had stopped drinking. Remember, this stuff started 72 hours AFTER my last drink. So, by the time I was tripping balls, threw myself thru the door, went screaming out of my apartment and (actually, to me) had my daughter 'die' in my arms, it had been almost 8 DAYS since my last drink! 5 days AFTER the Delirium Tremens started.
      Crazy. I should be dead.
      But yes, even the Medical Community is not well versed at all(!) in the real nature and danger of alcohol withdraw and REAL Delirium Tremens.
      Great question!

    The obsession DOES go away. You will think about how glad you are that you stopped drinking and obsess over it all day long! But, it does become less and less, millimeter by millimeter, until a couple months later, where you start getting days that you go hours without it even crossing your mind! Just ask yourself, do you obsess over a blade of grass? See? The obsession is a part of the alcoholism and it WILL dissipate completely and WILL become just like a blade of grass! Now just remember to stay away from active users and places where there will be alcohol use.

      People who have never 'Experienced' REAL Delirium Tremens have absolutely no clue how powerful (& dangerous/life threatening) they really are. Its like the minister that told me to 'Just Quit'. He didn't know any different.
      We do.
      Thanks so much, and I'm very glad you're here with us!
      Thanks so much,

    The dangerously and disgustingly antisocial thing is harmful. A lot of people have genuinely horrible social anxiety or just not be interested in people. I can be sober for a year and I have basically zero interest in other people or socializing. Could be social anxiety or I could just not be interested in people. Don’t care! Not drinking is all that matters.

    Dude this is BS. My mom was wreckless alcoholic for 18 years after my dad died. She was absolutely in bits with constant injuries and police and ambulance calls and pick ups.
    Yet she never got what you are describing after your "6 month bender".

      You’re an authority on alcoholism because your mom was an alcoholic? Shut the fuck up idiot, DTs is a well documented phenomenon that was first observed in the 18th century. Maybe don’t hate on this guy for sharing his story, he’s trying to help people. “Durp this didn’t happen to my mom so it didn’t happen to you! Durp!” Seriously you’re an idiot, educate yourself before you talk shit.

    Franks song My Way played at Ben's wake. His mom turned to me and said, that's Ben's favorite song. He was the youngest person to die of liver disease.
