Been sober since 2013. Whenever I see a beer commercial and start to crave alcohol again I just watch one of your videos and the urge passes. These videos are helping and just wanted to say thanks and that you are helping people out there. Greetings from Los Angeles.
That is really SO COOL to hear! You know, I get a TON of 'backlash' with my public opinion on alcoholism and it destruction it had on my life (fuck 'em!). I ALSO get a lot (MORE!) positive feedback‼️ And, I KNOW this 'saves lives'.. THAT'S what 'Recovery' is really all about👍👍👍 Thank you so very much, and I am glad you are here with us! Please share our Channel... Dig it- Dirk:)💯💯💯
Right. I was shaking so bad, even in my early 20's, that I HAD to drink in the morning just to 'not shake'. I know you get what I'm talking about. But man...it gets SO MUCH WORSE. If you are ready to stop, do it NOW.(!) If you need a medical detox, so what!!! Do that- You may not... But, I did it. So I really do believe ANYONE CAN‼️‼️‼️ I do AA, but any 12 Step Program will work...as long as YOU are done. Let me know if there is anything I may do to help? Glad you're here, brother... And DON'T QUIT QUITTING!!!!!! Thanks so very much, Dirk:)💯💯💯
When i first started experiencing withdrawals I had a young co worker comment on my trembling. I brushed it off as anxiety. Later found out her mom is a drug addict, I'm assuming she knew and was hyper aware of it from trauma. 83 days sober now.
I like what Steve-O from Jackass said about drugs and alcohol eroding the barriers between realms and or dimensions like somehow you connect with the other side. As a science guy I would have laughed this off prior to experiencing alcohol withdrawal.
Few weeks back after a binge on a 3rd day I started hearing a weird electric buzzing. I thought it was an issue with some of my electronics and started pretty much pulling every eletronic device out of wall and the buzzing wouldn't stop. I ignored that and through the day I started hearing voices from pretty much everywhere around the house. These developed into accusing and very real feeling voices of people. I was absolutely terrified at this point and went to hospital. I was diagnosed with alcoholic delirium and was put on like 80mg of diazepam and IV fluids over the night. Next day I felt much better and that was pretty much the end of it. I think I dodged a bullet.
Been there a few times mate. Another one is same song playing over and over in ears for days. Can swear it's coming through next doors walls or from cars outside etc, I start pacing up and down house hyper ventilating. My worst ever withdrawn it went on for weeks
I’ve experienced this. Terrifying. It sounded like someone was speaking or playing music in the next room. But they weren’t. I felt like I was losing my mind.
I’m coming up to 48 hours sober having drunk every evening for at least the past 3 years without a break. I’m having trouble sleeping and what was weird was when I woke up just now it sounded like my son or someone shouted loudly in my ear and it made me jump out of my skin since I’m alone in the house trying to detox! I’m only taking hydration drinks, vitamins and Kalms to relax me. This is kinda scary! Your video has made me feel worried.
Currently going thru these right now after a two week binge.. after six months of sobriety. Keep thinking I’m hearing people in my house talking about me.. it’s very scary. Thank you for making this video it helped me feel better
Auditory hallucinations must be as scary as the visual ones. Brian Wilson had the misfortune of having those since he was with the beach boys, due to LSD I think it is. Imgine being stuck in that situation the rest of your life! 😱
checking up on you nate, hope you stayed away from drinking .. i just survived my first ever dt and i wouldn’t wish it on my worse enemy.. the worst experience i’ve ever had
Dude...I ended up in jail, too...in FULL FUCKING BLOWN DT'S‼️ Fourth day of my 5 day ordeal. We are BOTH so lucky were not dead! Glad you're here, brother! Share our Channel!!! It's already saved lives- Dig it- Dirk:)💯💯💯
It's hard to put into words the pain, and raw fear that you feel during acute alcohol withdrawal. I've came close to dying because of it. The pain I experienced is hard to describe. I was hallucinating, and shaking so bad I couldn't walk. I was having tachycardia my heart was beating so fast, and I could feel my heart literally burning from it. I saw demons pulling me into the ground, there were 2 men in my hospital room just sitting there. They weren't real, but many other hallucinations in what lasted a week. Thank you for making a video about Delerium Tremens. Hopefully someone will watch this and realize how negative heavy drinking is.
Yes...yes, indeed. It's ALREADY 'Saved lives'... Tap 'Subscribe', as i have over 50 videos posted...ALL relating to 'Recovery'! So very glad that you're here with us👍👍👍 Dirk:)💯💯💯
Amen, that's awesome! It's videos like this that remind me, and help me stay sober. My brothers were over this weekend and they were drinking beer after beer all weekend, but I stayed sober, thank God. Instead of grabbing a beer I prayed and started watching videos about alcohol withdrawal.
My auditory hallucinations began 4 days after the DTs, shaking and sickness had finished. I actually felt fine and sober. That's what was so shocking. I knew when I was seeing crazy things on the DTs that something was not right because I was still sick but this was entirely different. I spent a week listening to what I thought was God and the devil having perfectly clear and detailed conversations with me but it wasn't inside my head. I heard it from the sky and like sitting across a table from a regular person.
God.. I SO 'Get That'... Its weird because it kicks in AFTER the usual puking sick shit... Then things get FUCKED UP!!!! Glad you're here with us! Thanks so much, Dirk Delirium:)
DT’s are soooo scary. I mean that in the true sense of the word. Absolutely horrific. Worse than any nightmare or horror movie you can fathom. And on top of that you are going through withdrawal.
I kept hearing my son and my ex. Brain problems are hells equivalent. I had delusion too but I knew what they were just didn't think it was dts with pills. Never knew it was possible, people outside frequently too, just hypervigilant and terrified like one long panic attack, heart racing and possibly close to heart attack after watching your videos.
I'm after going through it could hear neighbours talking about me all while I was in my house and also had family members outside my house wanting to beat me also running down to door with a hammer thinking people were coming for me and seeing figures in my room with knives stabbing me I'm just coming out of it but still on meds for a week I'm back to AA since yesterday for good
Fucking A RIGHT!!!! You know, I have found that even in AA, most REAL alcoholics have never experienced REAL Delirium Tremens. It's just a fact- You, brother?? You have BEEN THERE. Welcome to the club! You made it thru, and you will recover 100%. But, if you drink again...well, let's just say you know what to expect. Once we go thru DT'S it's just bound to happen again. I rode them out 5 times... But yes, AA WORKS for a lot of people. Myself included! Please keep me posted, and let me know if there is anything I may do to help? Thanks so much!!!!! Dirk:)👍💯👍💯
@@DeliriumTremensScaredSober thanks Dirk I've had DTS at least 9 times but the paranoid part this time and seen actually real people in my room and outside my house I still can't determine if any little bit of it was happening or all just my head I'm still on librium next few days but it's hit me hard worried about my neighbours what I done from last Thursday it's now a week later
Hey Dirk, I wanted to share with you the fruits of many hours of alcoholic chicken-related rumination. In answer to the age-old question, which came first-- the chicken, or the egg? What I imagine to be the case is that the egg came first. What laid the egg was pre-chicken (a proto-chicken, if you will); what emerged from the egg was chicken, and what followed was chicken forevermore. Thanks for your DT stories man it restores me to sanity to know that I'm not the only one who has experienced the persistent crystal-clear "hallucination" of the infinitely black embodiment of death. What is so interesting about delirium tremens is that you are "tripping" so hard but, obviously, there is no drug; you can be stone cold sober. That's why I hesitate to call these experiences and visions hallucinations. What I think more accurately describes the context is that people suffering delirium tremens hover too close to the edge of death for too long, and this results in fascinating effects on memory. Where death appears, there is ALWAYS time dilation. My experience was a routine weeknight in a well-staffed hospital, but my experience there was so dense with imagery and symbology that descriptions of it could fill a library. I think the appearance of death as a black hole and the time dilation alcoholics in DT experience is no coincidence; this is exactly what you'd expect when near an incredibly dense object like a singularity. I believe that this is why the fear dawns so suddenly on people. They realize they are in its presence, even if they can't see it with their waking eyes yet. Every organism has an innate terror of singularities, and I believe being in its presence drives us mad; I believe the 40% of alcoholics that don't survive DT are scared to death by it and their bodies just give out like terrified rabbits. It was in the presence of that singularity that I foresaw the future of myself and of all alcoholics who don't sober the fuck up. That "thing" is the end. Whatever path it's on, you'll find me on the other one. Join me on it. Dirk and I are explicit and clear about this shit for a reason; don't wait, don't think you can interact with it, just go to the hospital.

@@DeliriumTremensScaredSober Great to know I made your day! I will def do that. I submitted to join the fbook page. You helped me keep my sanity while I went through it, its the least I could do.
If it was a good song playing I never used to mind it but the worst time was every time I turned the fork lift on I was using at work the song go grease lightning would play I'd turn the for lift off and it would stop I'd turn it back on again and it would start all over but I've had some really scary auditory hallucinations people telling me they were going to stab me slash me shoot me kill me it didn't bother me because I knew it was just the withdrawals the only thing that bothered me was the anger in the voice I'm 43 days sober at the moment I just really hope I can keep it up
I stopped drinking 10 days ago and went through tremors and auditory buzzing. The doctor gave me a Vitamin B complex and a 600mg a day prescription for Thiamine to take for 2 weeks and then half for 2 weeks after that. The tremors in my legs are lessening but can become quite strong at times. The auditory noise went but came back 3 days ago. And it is scary. I'm hoping this is still part of withdrawal.
first time, I was 30. It happened again when i was 32. I am 35 now. I've drank consistently throughout my days (about one beer every 2 hours) every day since so I never have to deal with them again. I don't have medical insurance so I can't get any benzos and God only knows I cant afford a facility or hospital visit. :/
Got ya! But, if you're down to one beer every two hours, you can certainly turn that to one beer every thrre (hours). Then go to 4. & so on. You're body is probably eased out of that critical nervous system shutdown. Your taper is the way out! My problem? I could NEVER detox by tapering. Ever. Also, every State, I believe, has free detox facilities. I've been in them in 4 States(!), multiple times in each(!), and never paid a dime:). That may be worth looking into. Thanks so much!!! Glad you're here with us:)- Dirk:)👍👍👍
Look at you, looking like a golf player-James Bond-star. GOD bless you. After this experience with seen demons, shadow figures.. did you accepted Christ as your LORD and Savior? Whats your thoughts on that? I mean delirium tremens is a portal to demons as you might know, my dear friend.
Yea ive been through it twice. Once on a fishing trawler in the bering sea. The other in a slummy hotel in manila. Both times surreal and scary as shit. Illnever forget nor do i want to. Good luck keep up the good work.
I remember our conversation! I can't IMAGINE how fucked up that must have been at sea. I mean...sureal is an UNDERSTATEMENT‼️ I went thru them a ttl of 5 times but, by FAR, the first was the worst. No hospitalization...almost 5 days of absolute terror. I never even found out my daughter wasn't actually dead until day 6! Fucking mind blowing... And Malaysia? That had to have been a 'Treat', too!!! Man...are we lucky to be alive or what?? Again, so glad you're here with us! Dirk:)💯💯💯
I once drank for a week because i was bored. Played games all day, that day before i stopped, i played all night, driving cars and shit, and when i started feeling like shit, i started to hear those car engine sounds, felt like cars are driving behind the door :D
I was a opiate addict for 26 years. I'm only 38... for the past 2 months I've been drinking 6-12 beers a day... I don't get mean, it doesn't change who I am. But I'm worried. I know 12 beers ain't much. But I feel like I may be stuck already. Because the days I say I'm going without, my mood is super effected. Any tips on staying sober? Stay busy? Get a sponsor? Again, I don't think I qualify as an alcoholic... but I'm 💯 an addict and recognize I'm making this a habit. It's already hard for me to quit. I've had 5 as I type. Got home at 6pm and split a 12pk with my brother over the last 2 hours.
You could try going to Narcotics Anonymous every day until you get back on track. If you stay and talk to people and find sober friends and support groups, it will help
I don't binge drink any more. Became vegan and fitness enthusiast. I had dts a few times in my early 20s I'm 26 now. Sober. I drink fruit wine on Christmas some times and that's only 1 drink. But sometimes not even that I mainly stay sober and focus on my health fully because of the hospital trips. I learned alot. I don't miss it at all. I don't miss the hangover or dts. I don't miss losing people and relationships. I like to stay sober. Don't even smoke weed. I just like being in a healthy mind state. As much "fun" as people think it is so flourishedand glorified and media and it's all a lie. It's all a lie. You can have just as fun without alcohol. You can be just as uninhibited without it. Being vegan saved my health and life and thats my passion
I'm starving and eating like a horse now but I lost at least a stone in weight, no appetite and with benzos it's longer. 2 month binge dying to escape.
When I went to jail I was seeing the walls auto adjusting and I was the only one that could hear a radio. It got worse. Around 5 days later I swear that I was getting some kind of visual psychic download telling me how they figured out the whole meaning of consciousness. Crazy shit bro..
Yep... Jail is one of the WORST PLACES TO DT AT!!! Why?... They don't give a FUCK- They are so used to seeing us seuze out, dt...everything... And they won't do SHIT. I feel you, brother. Been thru that one... Thanks so much!! Dirk Delirium:)
Hmm I drink heavy but not every day I get drunk every 2-3 days apart Mostly beer around 2 gallons depends Next day I have horrible withdrawals I hate it Does this make me alcoholic or just abusing?????😢
I think I experienced delirium tremens a month ago. I binge drank about two pints of vodka and the next day I tried taking naltrexone and Zoloft (sertraline) for the first time and two hours later I was extremely ill and sweating profusely. My mom drove me to the hospital where my heart rate went over 200 and I almost had a heart attack. After I left the hospital I was unable to sleep at all, around the third day I was having auditory hallucinations and if I closed my eyes I would see bizarre hellish visual hallucinations that looked like anime characters. I finally went to the hospital and they injected me with a benzo that allowed me to finally fall asleep. I’ve been drinking since 2009 but since august it’s been daily, usually a pint of vodka but now I’m back to beer.
@@DeliriumTremensScaredSober Have you ever tried deliriant drugs like diphenhydramine or datura? How would you say they compare to your alcoholic induced delirium?
We are all the same in regard to our mental health issues, it's just different substances. I should be dead too and it would have been suicide in response to abuse.
Great video. I remember the songs playing over and over and over in my head. Can’t remember what songs they were but it was driving me wild. And spot on with the shakes. This is far worse than shaking. I had people all over my house but what was weird I couldn’t see their faces at first. WILD Craziest experience in my life. It literally scared me sober , after my coma.
Mine was; “I get knocked down, but I get up again You are never gonna keep me down I get knocked down, but I get up again You are never gonna keep me down I get knocked down, but I get up again You are never gonna keep me down I get knocked down, but I get up again You are never gonna keep me down” OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!! i couldn’t stand it. The walls where closing in on me I felt trapped. I didn’t understand what the hell was going on but that song was really pissin me off. I hate that song now.
@@mercedezz i'm laughing, oh god, ouch! one of my main songs was: row row row your boat gently down the stream row row....etc. but, it was sung in a very menacing, uptight, enunciated insistent way, so i would try to stop the song but i couldn't, so i'd try to change it & it got worse, more insistent, louder, geezus, like that loony bin song, "they're coming to take me away ha ha hee hee ha ha to the funny farm..."
I've had this a few times. I normally find it's a song I've been listening to a lot when drunk in the weeks leading up to stopping and getting the withdrawals. Hear it plating for days on end everywhere

Right. I was shaking so bad, even in my early 20's, that I HAD to drink in the morning just to 'not shake'. I know you get what I'm talking about.

Got ya! But, if you're down to one beer every two hours, you can certainly turn that to one beer every thrre (hours). Then go to 4. & so on. You're body is probably eased out of that critical nervous system shutdown. Your taper is the way out!
My problem? I could NEVER detox by tapering. Ever.
Also, every State, I believe, has free detox facilities. I've been in them in 4 States(!), multiple times in each(!), and never paid a dime:). That may be worth looking into.
Thanks so much!!! Glad you're here with us:)-

In fact, my DT's was in Amsterdam 😁👍
They SUCK anywhere!!!
Glad we're all ALIVE‼️‼️‼️
Thanks so much,

Look at you, looking like a golf player-James Bond-star. GOD bless you. After this experience with seen demons, shadow figures.. did you accepted Christ as your LORD and Savior? Whats your thoughts on that? I mean delirium tremens is a portal to demons as you might know, my dear friend.
Yea ive been through it twice. Once on a fishing trawler in the bering sea. The other in a slummy hotel in manila. Both times surreal and scary as shit. Illnever forget nor do i want to. Good luck keep up the good work.
I remember our conversation! I can't IMAGINE how fucked up that must have been at sea. I mean...sureal is an UNDERSTATEMENT‼️
I went thru them a ttl of 5 times but, by FAR, the first was the worst. No hospitalization...almost 5 days of absolute terror. I never even found out my daughter wasn't actually dead until day 6! Fucking mind blowing...
And Malaysia? That had to have been a 'Treat', too!!!
Man...are we lucky to be alive or what??
Again, so glad you're here with us!

I once drank for a week because i was bored. Played games all day, that day before i stopped, i played all night, driving cars and shit, and when i started feeling like shit, i started to hear those car engine sounds, felt like cars are driving behind the door :D
I was a opiate addict for 26 years. I'm only 38... for the past 2 months I've been drinking 6-12 beers a day...
I don't get mean, it doesn't change who I am. But I'm worried.
I know 12 beers ain't much. But I feel like I may be stuck already. Because the days I say I'm going without, my mood is super effected.
Any tips on staying sober? Stay busy? Get a sponsor? Again, I don't think I qualify as an alcoholic... but I'm 💯 an addict and recognize I'm making this a habit.
It's already hard for me to quit. I've had 5 as I type. Got home at 6pm and split a 12pk with my brother over the last 2 hours.
You could try going to Narcotics Anonymous every day until you get back on track. If you stay and talk to people and find sober friends and support groups, it will help
I don't binge drink any more. Became vegan and fitness enthusiast. I had dts a few times in my early 20s I'm 26 now. Sober. I drink fruit wine on Christmas some times and that's only 1 drink. But sometimes not even that I mainly stay sober and focus on my health fully because of the hospital trips. I learned alot. I don't miss it at all. I don't miss the hangover or dts. I don't miss losing people and relationships. I like to stay sober. Don't even smoke weed. I just like being in a healthy mind state. As much "fun" as people think it is so flourishedand glorified and media and it's all a lie. It's all a lie. You can have just as fun without alcohol. You can be just as uninhibited without it. Being vegan saved my health and life and thats my passion
I'm starving and eating like a horse now but I lost at least a stone in weight, no appetite and with benzos it's longer. 2 month binge dying to escape.
When I went to jail I was seeing the walls auto adjusting and I was the only one that could hear a radio. It got worse. Around 5 days later I swear that I was getting some kind of visual psychic download telling me how they figured out the whole meaning of consciousness. Crazy shit bro..
Yep...
Jail is one of the WORST PLACES TO DT AT!!!
Why?...
They don't give a FUCK-
They are so used to seeing us seuze out, dt...everything... And they won't do SHIT.
I feel you, brother. Been thru that one...
Thanks so much!!

The cruelty of this. If we only had psych units/mental care facilities!
Hmm I drink heavy but not every day
I get drunk every 2-3 days apart
Mostly beer around 2 gallons depends
Next day I have horrible withdrawals I hate it
Does this make me alcoholic or just abusing?????😢
I think I experienced delirium tremens a month ago. I binge drank about two pints of vodka and the next day I tried taking naltrexone and Zoloft (sertraline) for the first time and two hours later I was extremely ill and sweating profusely. My mom drove me to the hospital where my heart rate went over 200 and I almost had a heart attack. After I left the hospital I was unable to sleep at all, around the third day I was having auditory hallucinations and if I closed my eyes I would see bizarre hellish visual hallucinations that looked like anime characters. I finally went to the hospital and they injected me with a benzo that allowed me to finally fall asleep. I’ve been drinking since 2009 but since august it’s been daily, usually a pint of vodka but now I’m back to beer.
Sounds like your progressing down this all too familiar path of Real Alcoholism.
Its a bitch!!!
Thanks, my friend:) Keep me posted!!!

@@DeliriumTremensScaredSober Have you ever tried deliriant drugs like diphenhydramine or datura? How would you say they compare to your alcoholic induced delirium?

Naltrexone made me very nauseous, you have to force yourself to eat before you take it
Thanks man
Hey. Any ideas for a detox at home and work. Please help. You are me.
Barbiturates will also kill you thru withdrawal
this cameraman 🤣
Watching this with a beer next to me... lol
We are all the same in regard to our mental health issues, it's just different substances. I should be dead too and it would have been suicide in response to abuse.
This is widely misunderstood.
Just DON'T QUIT QUITTING!!!
It will get better...
Keep me posted!
Thanks so much,
Dirk:)👍💯🙏
Great video. I remember the songs playing over and over and over in my head. Can’t remember what songs they were but it was driving me wild. And spot on with the shakes. This is far worse than shaking. I had people all over my house but what was weird I couldn’t see their faces at first. WILD Craziest experience in my life. It literally scared me sober , after my coma.
SO glad you're SOBER!
Ain't it great!!!
So glad you're here with us!
Dirk:)💯💯💯
Delirium Tremens it is a Tourture i wound not wish on Anyone an evil way to die
Mine was;
“I get knocked down, but I get up again
You are never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You are never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You are never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You are never gonna keep me down”
OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!
i couldn’t stand it. The walls where closing in on me I felt trapped. I didn’t understand what the hell was going on but that song was really pissin me off. I hate that song now.
@@mercedezz
i'm laughing, oh god,
ouch!
one of my main songs was:
row row row your boat
gently down the stream
row row....etc.
but, it was sung in a very menacing, uptight,
enunciated insistent way, so i would try to stop the song but i couldn't, so i'd try to change it & it got worse, more insistent,
louder, geezus, like that loony bin song,
"they're coming to take me away ha ha
hee hee
ha ha
to the funny farm..."
I've had this a few times. I normally find it's a song I've been listening to a lot when drunk in the weeks leading up to stopping and getting the withdrawals. Hear it plating for days on end everywhere
You need to be the one to help people quit. You are starting the hell out of me to the point that I’m starting to see things for no reason
