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.
Morphine 😢@@premoacct
Doesn't look that old
Apparently he overdosed on morphine
Your story is saving my life
Thank you SO VERY MUCH for that. But you know, YOU'RE SAVING IT!!! And CONGRATULATIONS on that!!! Its fucking HUGE‼️‼️‼️
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help👍...
I will be happy to reach out to you live. Just pvt message me on FB at Dirk Delirium.
But again, THANK GOD(!), and thank you. I mean that-
Dirk:)💯💯💯
Saying a prayer for you now and hoping for the very best outcome for you.
Same… I’m dying right now
@@Starkesea Stärke zeigen, Stärke! Dat kriegste schon hin!
@@Starkesea We're all dying. Brother.. ❤️
Thank you, Derek, I've detoxed many, many times with the shaking and sweating. But this time I had the beginning stages of seeing things. Out of the corner of my Eye, that aren't there Heard the voices. I went to the hospital. I've been sober for a month, thank you for your story.
I know, next time it would be worse.
I went into DTs that hard. I am SO grateful to hear someone else went through something similar!
You look so young! It’s terrifying how quickly alcoholism can progress in some people. Hope you are well now. I had alcoholic psychosis at 19 after a 2 week all day all night bender. Never wanna experience that again.
@@mattstocks4749 I was 23 when I was a full blown alcoholic. I was on a diet of 20-30 norcos a day before I quit cold turkey and then began drinking heavily. Then when I couldn’t drink anymore I just thought I could stop ✋. No no no that’s dangerous but I was so secretive I couldn’t tell anyone about it. So I went into psycosis and ended up having a grand mal seizure. I’m 5 years sober now and I don’t ever wanna go back
@@BigBawller3000 sheesh that’s rough. Don’t get back into it. I stopped at 20 after I had DTs and stayed dry for 7.5 years. Relapsed a year ago and have been drinking on and off since. Managed to keep it to just weekends, but it never goes back to normal fun drinking. It’s always getting absolutely smashed and feeling like shit for days after.
Well done on your 5 years that’s so amazing! Proud of you :)
@@mattstocks4749 i dont think one "has DTs" i think DT is an all or nothing, balls to the wall experience that is rare in most individuals. Shakes, being sick, hungover etc. Are just withdrawal.
I work with a man that has told me this story he is sober clean 5 years but watching this I get it even more Lord bless you all
Dude, I can't even tell you how glad I am that people like you made it through this alive.
I'm detoxing now. Not hallucinating as hard as you but I'm getting adrenalin surges, spots in my vision, panic attacks, really itchy, cannot sleep, every little noise is scaring me, in so much kidney pain. I'm drinking gatorade and water. Beautiful weather and I'm unable to go out and enjoy it. I hope I can quit drinking. I have to. Temptation is everywhere. Your story is really scary but inspiring me. You really came a long way.
You know what baffles me? My ex’s Dad drank himself to the point he was getting DT’s MULTIPLE times, got prescribed valium to taper down with and stop drinking. But he was so hell bend on drinking even tho he would go through this shit so so so many times. The doctors told him he would die every time he was had to go to the hospital for blood transfusions and other alcohol health related complications. He recently died a few months ago.. RIP Chris.
I'm so sorry to hear that...
It just reaffirms this point- Alcoholism, if left untreated, is 100% fatal. 100% of the time.
And, it still sucks for the others left. Please accept my condolences. 🙏
But, your comment may well be JUST what someone else needs to read(!). Thank you for sharing that.
I greatly appreciate your positive feedback and support! Thank you again...
Dirk:)💯💯💯
I was tripping hard when I went into DT’s. Scaarrryyy shit was goin down for real in my world. Thank you VA for helping me out of that one
This story is totally nuts but it hits so fucking hard, loosing your mind is unbelievably hard to explain, when you come round from an episode its the most insane feeling realising it was all in your head 💔
I’m glad to report over 6 months of sobriety from alcohol today! Your story is extremely crazy dude. alcohol is no joke whatsoever. My DTS were not nearly as bad as what you went through. Cheers to sobriety my friend.
Yes, indeed...
No joke, whatsoever!!!
CONGRATULATIONS ON 6 MONTHS!!!!
THAT IS AWESOME:)
You just made my day:)!!!
Keep watching, and hit Subscribe. Two more videos up today...two more tomorrow:)
Thanks so much!!!
Dirk:)👍😉💯
DeliriumTremens thanks bro and likewise. My savior was Elevate addictive services In Watsonville California! Smart recovery worked for me and changed my outlook on everything. Like you say in your video. “You gotta want it” I wanted the change. But I couldn’t stop drinking without help. Elevate gave me my life back and I could be more grateful! You got my sub brother 👊🏻
So cool! And I LOVED what you said about Smart Recovery!!! AA is NOT for everyone...nor NA, CA, HA or whatever. And even regionally or locally, the PEOPLE make a difference in whether or not one even feels 'welcome'. Addicts like us can have a bad experience with any group, and use it as an excuse to run back out and use. And for us, that's deadly.
I have seen it happen.
More to come, and SHARE OUR SITE!!! Thank you so much, and I am again THRILLED FOR YOU!!!
So awesome...
Dirk:)👍👍👍
Thankfully I have only bad shaking, anxiety, nausea and a sensitivity to lights when withdrawing. That's crazy what you went through. Definitely makes me not want to drink ever again.
DON'T!!! Your symptoms are what mine were in my 20's. It truly only gets worse and worse.
So did my 'consequences'...
Thank you, and I'm so glad you are here with us!
Dirk:)💯💯💯
@@DeliriumTremensScaredSober me too. Alcohol withdrawal is no joke..and mine is only minor.
I've certainly experienced alcoholic hallucinations, but it's actually different than dts, also from withdrawaling but super scary. I mean it's all unsettling and anxiety ridden. But just one of the uncomfortable parts of it all. A million reasons to quit and barely any to continue.
Amazing story Dirk - thanks for sharing. I never knew alcohol withdrawal led to this madness. All the best from the U.K.
Been through DT's three times. First time spent nine days in ICU.second time was three days,third time as four days. All three times had multiple seizures and was strapped to a hospital bed with a breathing tube down my throat and had IV's stuck in me everywhere. Last time I spent a month in physical therapy learning to walk again. Still have problems with balance. DT's are scary as f#@K, ABSOLUTELY NO WAY TO DIE.
Dude...your message HIT HOME!!!
Too real, and your statement- DT'S are NO WAY TO DIE. I can't imagine a more terrifying way to die. Yes...this shit is VERY real. Thank you so much for your feedback, and please share our Channel. It has already saved lives.
Appreciate your candid honesty!
Dirk:)💯
Me too my friend. Prayers to you
@@alyssaextraordinair how have you been?
Messed up people can be cruel to an alcoholic on the verge of death... 🤔
You are a great storyteller and great that you are sober now.Alchol destroys peoples lives... love from Pars. Aisling ❤ p,s, you have amazing grace
RIP, Dirk. I still don't know what happened to you.
Woah what he's dead??!! I'm going to cry. This man's story is the most horrifying thing I ever heard and he's exceptionally strong for surviving the DT's s scary as it was. His story really resonated with me. Hit me in the feels too.

Apparently he overdosed on morphine.. Rip Dirk
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
Yes, Sir!
I, too, believe in both detox/rehad if and ONLY when we have really had enough.
And man...that pain is 100% REFUNDABLE(!).
No, thank you. I truely have had enough-
Are you the same cat I spoke to in the UK about 2 months back? Nice guy, regardless:)
Thank you so much for your positive feedback and support! Keep doing what you are doing!!!
Good stuff-
Dirk:)💯💯💯
@@DeliriumTremensScaredSober No, I only caught onto your UA-cam channel in the last 2 weeks si I am new here
How the hell are you still here?? Unbelievable!! So grateful you are though, you’re instrumental in keeping me sober, I can’t thank you enough 🙏🏼❤️
From Glasgow Scotland 🏴 I sent my wishes
Wow, what an amazing story. Thank you for sharing this. All hard drinkers that have an addictive tendency need to watch your videos.
I don't understand how you survived but I'm glad you did. There aren't many like you who can survive such a horrible event, yet still be able to talk about it so open and freely.
I had it too man. I had to spend 4 days in ICU from my alcoholism. Thankfully I made it through but even with pills and lots of care it was still the absolute worst hell I’ve ever been through. I don’t touch alcohol at all ever since then. Before that I spent about 2 years drinking straight up vodka mostly alone.
I totally understand. Nonstop solo drinking. Nonstop. And then we 'get the need' to sober up regardless and bang. Delirium Tremens. And we just don't know what we 'don't know'. And thats the reality of it. Unbelievable.
I'm really glad you made it, brother! Please share our Channel with all, as it has saved lives already.
Thanks so very much,
Dirk:)💯👍💯🙏
Your story’s are just mind blowing. So glad you are still here my friend.
Dude im 26 and just went through this. I called an ambulance and took propanalol before they arrived, i told them my situation and they werent half as wprried as they shouldve been. The next day i took so many painkillers and sleep aid that i woke up and couldnt breathe. I decided that would be easier than to hear and feel the people trying to kill me and take me away somewhere to torture me and my family, the sleep i did get i dreamt of the worst hell imaginable, woke up every few minutes and bpth were just as bad. This is the worst and most demonic experience i have ever had. Yet i picked up the drink today to deal with demons... make it make sense....🖤
Wow, what a story!
I watched all the parts. I will visit the website. Thank you for sharing. This sort of material is hard to come by. Glad you're sober. Stay strong.
Poor Durk I know that feeling of being sweaty and in trouble and hungover it's like hell 😂 ❤️
I wish i would have seen these videos a year ago...I went through a pretty rough detox last time and had major hallucinations but it was all in the 72 hour period. I thought it was DTs but after seeing this I guess it was just a bad detox. I was a handle a day drinker and am no longer physically addicted but still struggling to remain completely sober. I'm playing with fire and I know it. Thanks for making these videos man, I never want to go back there...
You were, in fact, RIGHT THERE!!!
Try and get a grip. If you are, in fact, a REAL alcoholic, it will ONLY GET WORSE‼️
Thats just a fact!!!
So glad you're here with us👍👍👍
Dirk:)💯💯💯
You are an amazing narrator! Your stories are terrifying and being two months sober myself, your experiences in DT's remind me to continue my life of recovery and sobriety.
Also, has anyone told you that you remind them of Anthony Bourdaine? 😇
Anthony Bourdain...my spelling was incorrect.
amazing story and invaluable .tripping, schizophrenia and DT's ...brain chemistry... wow...the mind is an incredible thing . thankyou Dirk
Thank you for this! I am still an awe what I experienced when I quit drinking. Those things were as real as reality. Unbelievable. I can NEVER go back! EVER!
Ok. Thanks mate.
Tomorrow i am starting ativant to get rid of alcool.
Wanted to do that for a long time.
But listening to your story. Dude...
Starting Tomorrow for real!!!
My town police know me by my first name mate.
Yep. Thanks my friend.
Hope you are good now!!!
Really do. You seem such a nice man mate. Hope you really doing great, and have a nice life ❤
Take care!!!
Thank you for your honesty….
Many will benefit.
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!
It gets even better!
I’m glad u are ok
Thank you
Thank you for sharing your story
Really incredible story beginning to end. Thank u so much for sharing this
So interesting listening to you, keep the videos coming!
Thanks for sharing your story Dirk. Very harrowing. Glad you survived and got well. Happy new year man.
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.
Awesome! I'm very glad you made it alive. Yep...benzo withdraw is VERY similar and extremely horrific/powerful. But, your 'out of the woods'.
Your mental facilities will return 100%...and life WILL get 'Good' again.
I've been thru the Steps quite a few times. It works. There's no such thing as a 'Program for Everyone', but ANY 12 Step Program WILL work when someone puts the work in.
Please keep me posted, and let me know if there is anything I may do to help?
Thank you so very much for your positive feedback and support! You will be able to help others on account of your own experience.
Awesome!!!
Dirk:)👍👍👍
@@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.
Sorry this isn't punctuated properly but I had to say thank you. Just seeing you well is an inspiration. Xxmargaret
Thanks for sharing Dirk. I just blew 6 months sober. now day 3 of a 7 day binge on 1/5 80 proof per day. I'll try to hang out here. I'm still not sleeping.
Thank God you're ok! Only 7 days...you probably aren't going to experience Delirium Tremens. You will just go thru the normal shit.
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.
Glad you are ok!!!!
Thanks so much,
Dirk:)💯💯💯
That's a seriously messed up story bro, thanx for sharing man :)
Right??! It's beyond fucked... Crazy to have survived it, and that's no joke(!). Wild thing is I have spoke with lots of cats who have gone thru bad (or worse) than I, & have pulled out the other side:)👍. That's so cool-
Hit the 'Subscribe' tab, as I went thru it 4 more times. Less intense. Equally frightening!
Thanks for your feedback:)
Dig it-
Dirk:)😉👍💯
I have been alcohol free for just over a year now, i had a big bender of drugs and alcohol and the psychotic episode I experienced still haunts me to this day, beyond madness, ied rather die than experience it again, thanks for sharing your story, ive been feeling shitty last few days and i watch your videos from time to time to remind me never to go back, thanks man x
Thanks for sharing. 70% mortality may be high, I'm reading 40% for untreated cases. Never knew its onset was after withdrawals.
Getting ready to detox, again, and really have a big fear of the DT's. Last time was no picknick and fear this time might be more severe. This stuff is no joke.
Nope...no joke!!!!
Best of luck. Please keep me posted!
Dirk:)👍👍👍
Amazing how nonchalant you tell us your story
My last comment was too harsh,that said I truly do enjoy listening to you speak,I'm currently still in the wet depths. I now have a new friend in Heroin so just traded one monster for another I guess.
I’m crying right now. I thought I was the only one who hallucinated
This was a fucking trip, man. Amazing you survived all of that. Worst that's happened to me was hearing music that wasn't there, ants on the walls, and a black cat crawling up the foot of my bed at 3 am.
Yea, man...it gets WAY WORSE. I can't think of a more horrific way to die than while in FULL BLOWN DT'S! Yikes...
Glad you made it, too. Alcoholism is such a beast, and most people have no idea what it leads to.
Thanks so much for your positive feedback and support!
Dirk:)👍👍👍
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.
I had one hell of an experience with delirium tremens about a week ago. Four days of hell.
Yes. It's absolutely fucking amazing that alcohol withdraw can and does affect us this way. It blew my mind(!)...yet, I still continued to drink. I went thru them a Ttl of five times. The first was, by far, the worst of them and, most DEFINITELY, should have killed me. I'm so glad you are ok, and real glad you're here to share with those who are not familiar with 'Real Delirium Tremens '...
Thank you so very much!
Dirk:)👍👍💯💯‼‼
Love your channel...
I recognize so much of your story, but i came to the hospital before it got too ugly. Spent 7 days there.
Man.... You are SO fortunate to have gone for medical treatment!!! What a relief!
It only goes down hill once REAL Delirium Tremens kick in, and the results can include death. It's just 'The Way it Is' for all us (REAL!) alcoholics.
Thank you for your feedback, and please keep me posted. Let me know if there is anything I may do to help-
Thanks so much,
Dirk:)💯💯💯
@@DeliriumTremensScaredSober Thank you but it was long time ago. I got help same day i started see things. But very simular story as yours up to that point, crazy you had to ride it out without help. Im glad you doing so well now. Thanks for all the interesting videos.
Crazy ass story glad you survived
I had a 3 day blackout and woke up in a hospital 60 miles away.
That was over 2 years ago.
So yes, i can relate 😔
Don't let that bluebook replace the REAL BIG BOOK. Those hallucinations were ephesians6stuff...baby!!
I have followed you whole story and guess what? The exact same thing happened to me, just in a quite different version. Totally the same. I'm relieved to know that I'm not the only one who went through this.
Exactly why I made this Channel! I went searching for info on Delirium Tremens (remember, this was 10 years ago) and couldn't find SHIT! So, after realizing what actually happened to (us) although rare, is for REAL. Yes indeed...they are NO joke...
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.
I do appreciate your positive feedback and support!
Dirk:)👍👍👍
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.
Sir thank you. I appreciate you story
When I went through delirium tremens I wondered in the woods behind my house and when I came to I thought there were people chasing me and wanted to kill me... It was like a bad LSD Trip... 🤔
I’m going to detox hate drinking but I can’t deal with the intense feeling I got the shakes I’m from uk 🇬🇧 lissten to vids helps a lot
Excellent!
Go get a safe medical detox, and you WILL be just fine:)
For REAL alcoholics like me, it got to the point where I couldn't stay drunk, and I couldn't get sober! That place SUCKS SHIT-
Go get sober, then let me know what I can do to help?
Thanks so much,
Dirk:)🙏🙏🙏
You were saved for a purpose mate 🙏🙏
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.
My husband still in the hospital .he had seizure .had MRI,CT scan ,blood check and more...found ammonia in his blood..litteraly he still sick .
Is he better now?
Yes ,he is better now..thank u
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?
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!
So glad you are hear with us👍
Thanks so much,
Dirk:)💯💯💯
Killer shirt man
Right??!
You have good taste👍
Glad you're here, brother‼️‼️‼️
Dirk:)💯💯💯
Glad I've only seen closed eye hallucinations. Then again I've never drank as much as you. Just regular bad hangovers. Nowhere near delirium tremens.
I was in my condo drinking for 5 yeas by myself! I have horrible neighbors who aggravate me and constantly talk shit, I have not been social for 8 years, feel fucking doomed!
I get you...
Unfortunately, you will hit Real Delirium Tremens soon if you have not started feeling them already...
Get HELP! really, man. Alcoholism will kill you. No question.
If you wish to talk, pvt message me at Dirk Delirium. You can beat this, man. For real. If I did it; ANYONE can!!!
Do it for you.
Dirk:)
I remember going to jail and when I saw the judge he said what you did...you pissed all over the theater...I felt so embarrassed.. ...MLM 😞
My sister ended up in the psych ward 10 days after alcohol withdrawal. The psychiatrist calls it, Cognitive Dissonance. I call it Psychosis/Delerium. It's been 6 days. She's still the same. How long til she gets better?
She should be 'out of the woods', as far as the DT's are concerned. Now, if she truely wants to get sober, the real work begins(!).
Find a 'Program' that works for her, and give it a whirl:) It CAN'T hurt, and we can ALWAYS go back to drinking.
Thank God, I don't plan to:)😉😉😉
So so glad she is ok. This shit is NO JOKE!
Very glad you are here, and thank you so much for the feedback!!!
Dirk Delirium:)💯💯💯
@@DeliriumTremensScaredSober thank you. We're taking her to a 6 week rehab program when she gets out of hospital. Anything that helps her journey to sobriety.
who's fucking with the dog in the middle of this amazing video
Have to say if you get into casual drinking daily from party drinking on weekends , lets say 40-60g whisky per day and you do it for a couple of weeks and then stop : you have to go through horrible insomnia, real creepy darkness figures - you have to have light after sunset or you will see shadows in darkness moving and panic attacks. Dont drink daily !
maybe bring on others who have suffered form DT's.
I agree. So far, the best I can do are the 'Comments' but I most certainly will do that in the future👍 EXCELLENT idea!
Thanks so very much,
Dirk:)💯💯💯

Just having energy, and that enthusiastic ambition, is an excellent indicator you're in the right place. For a very simple method that takes about an hour to modify your brain and holds up permanently, read Steffon Barkload's approach, and stop foor good.
These videos are lit as fuck
Right??! I don't sugar coat it. This shit is what KILLS us!
So glad you're here, man..
Thanks so much,
Dirk:)👍👍👍
Thank you for telling your story mate, you’re doing great work
I have been drinking since I was 16 years old I am now 51 I'm going into detox first thing Monday morning....
How are you doing?
Sir I need help… I need to get through this weekend but I’m headed to the hospital on Sunday afternoon or Monday morning is it a way I can call or text you
Its kind of mind blowing my reality was a terrifying hallucination for u.
(My only child passed away in my arms when she was 2)
That is tragic. The thing thats so WILD about REAL Delirium Tremens is the commonality in some of our TOTALLY unrelated experiences. Deamons, death, shadow people...it's CRAZY what we all have in common with them.
I am sorry for your loss, and I am so glad you're here with us-
Thank you so very much,
Dirk:)💯💯💯
@@DeliriumTremensScaredSober thank u. She passed November 14, 2015.
I dont believe I've experienced DTs. I drink beer often. Get the sweats sometimes. I know I have major PTSD bc she was born severely disabled before she passed. I'm glad ur alive. God bless you
I used to see pictures moving in my mums front room and a 4 feet fat thing with 1 big I in the middle of its head Terrifying
Yes, indeed. The pictures on the walls of my room were 'moving & grooving' on the second night, the same time I was having the AWFUL vivid dreams. It's unbelievable...and it got a HELL of a lot worse in my case. Scarry stuff-
So so so glad you made it & didn't go that far. But, you were close. Too close-
I appreciate your positive feedback and support!!!
Thanks much,
Dirk:)💯💯💯
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.
This cat speaks from real experience...
I LOVE it! Never heard the 'Blade of Grass' thought... liked, "You don't even notice..."
Too cool-
Dirk:)👍👍👍
@@DeliriumTremensScaredSober Man, I drank hard for 15 years straight! My liver is enlarged. I turned it over to God. Now it is going on over two months sober.
@@DeliriumTremensScaredSober Also, one other thing. A friend of mine recently passed away. He was a real Fireball liquor drinker! I knew this was going to happen, the way he was going. Dead at 39! I'll bet the farm that he got super smashed one day, passed out, and 4 hours later was woken up by crazy withdrawal with his heart pounding out of his chest and that was it. Dead. I know, because I woke up like that many times myself! Pounding heart, major panic attack on top of wondering about all the stupid shit I did and said earlier!
Dude I was in a hotel room for a year and a half drinking a case of beer a day and doing dope...it was like a sanitarium lol 😂
How much alcohol did you drink a day?
I have the same shirt
We must BOTH shop at Target(!)...
I love that joint for some GREAT rock & roll/retro stuff available. And it's all on one little rack, but the stuff changes.
Very cool!
Thanks so very much,
Dirk:)💯💯💯
I have a sponsor and I'm on step 5 but I can't handle stopping 😣 I am trying but nothing is working I'm hopeless
How are you now Sue?
@@donengland9140 A lot better ty
That's it Durk undress... Slowly... 😂
fFor those of us who enter into this experience without the benefits of an apartment containing our money filled wallets its an entirely different experience. When your homeless and all of your relatives are dead or have disowned you it makes it all so much more real. Never once did you mention the terrors of gastritis? Shitting your self uncontrollably no matter the surrounding?
dirk you do zoom meetings?
RIP Dirk. Morphine and Benzos.
I seen beings with swirly faces fas crazy. In day 2 now of a bad time gone to far binging. Mouths all cut swollwn jaw clenched sik 2 days. Im quitting for good 100%
Ol dirty dirk made a outfit with clips! Your something….iv been going through them xan and temaz has saved me oh and keppra
Oh you poor thing, stressed listening to you. Where's the compassion in people..
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,
Dirk:)💯
I'm sure the hooded figure kept trying to pour thing s on you while they surrounded you then you had to open your eyes to get away
"theres thousands of us"😂😂😂
Dirty urine...BOOM ASSAULT 😂
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.
Wow Brother… Thank you 🙏
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.
