Thumbs Up 👍 and shared out.❤ I too have suffered with TBI several times. It definitely makes DT’s worse. One of the last times I went through it, I saw a Cobra 🐍 in the middle of my bed. The next day I went into seizures. Alcohol withdrawal is extremely bad and very dangerous if you try to do it without help. Never again. 4 months sober.
Starting to wonder if snakes are even more common than bugs and insects in DT hallucinations, I've heard more and more people say it was snakes with hands and stuff like that. Scary stuff.
>connection between head trauma and DT's There absolutely is a connection. Head trauma lowers your seizure threshold, for one thing. It makes hallucinations more likely, too. It exacerbates everything nasty about DT's, really.
Yeah I've had several concussions, knocked out cold for several minutes more than once and been in a few fights were I was close to losing consciousness as well. I definitely get the bad DTs with the paranoid delusions and dementia type brain state. Look after that brain!
as you probably know, losing consciousness for more than a couple of minutes is really dangerous, that would be a severe concussion at least. Look after that brain indeed.
Really the treatment of alcoholics in UK is very poor. Most who go to A and E discharge themselves. It is sad to hear that you went to the psych ward at the height of your DT’s and it sounds like the authorities were right to follow up on your call. Should your parents have called the authorities earlier or even better as soon as they found you on the street. Very difficult position for all involved and hindsight is a wonderful thing.
UK is detox in A & E and then straight out on the street. There is little empathy for the alcoholic in the UK and they are often treated worse than drug adficts.
Hii Stuart, im drinking again. I feel so low. I get so far being sober and start loving my life again, then i decide I've beaten it so start to celebrate again. I'm at the point where I'm seriously concerned that the high of being sober starts beating the low. I'm at the turning point again where this could turn into my worst downfall. Dude i feel so low. Your channel is my lifeline. I have a half bottle of rum left in my position. I know i have to finish it. I know I'm going to suffer brother. I can't let it get to the point where I've been before. I need to attend a meeting with Project 6 in Sheffield. Dude you have no idea how much your channel helps people like me. Thank you brother.
Hang in there brother. You are definitely not alone and you don't have to finish that bottle. Try not to be too hard on yourself and I suggest logging in to some online meeting or continuously listening recovery content on RUclips. This has helped me heaps (and still does) to keep the drinking obsession at bay. Be well!
@@cjh0751 It's a love/hate affair. I hear you.We are perhaps not at one with ourselves, but we are dancing on this earth for a short time. Forgive yourself my brother, please, there is a way out - it is through x
Keep going to the meetings, keep trying, keep on picking yourself up. You can do this!!! Maybe get support to start to look at what is behind the need. God bless you.
I had my 1st real withdrawals a few weeks ago when I decided to quit. I had no idea how much trouble I put myself in until that 1st night trying to sleep.. about 24 hours after my last drink i thinnk.. started hearing mariachi music and i kept checking the window to see if the neighbors were having a party. my body jerked anytime i was "close" to sleep. If I did manage to fall asleep I felt what I can only describe as a frying pan hitting the back of my head to wake me.. check the clock----maybe 10 minutes passed.. all night long crazy crazy thoughts, like insanity. nothing made sense. sweating... 2nd night sweats and twitching, anxiety, heart racing..sweating.. slept maybe 2 hours
I had a very similar experience to you ..especially with the music outside! I heard a whole music festival for hours and hours and for many nights..I heard people talking in my room and all sorts.My anxiety was through the roof and when I closed my eyes I saw hell. F*king awful!!!
I am sending all your vids to my colleague, by the way, love the background music, it sooths me, my late hubby loved early 20th centiry jazz and dance hall music, he was alot older than me by 35yrs, i want to save my colleague, i fear he will die.
Good day Sir I watched your video about Khazakstan and when you said you were like Adam Calhoun cause you punched a cop that was an understatement lol! You punched a cop in another country while you were there illegally. Thats a just a little bit crazier than Adam Calhoun he punched a local cop in the same neighbourhood as him LOL! I showed my wife that video thats how much i enjoyed that one! Youve lived a wild life my friend ive never left North America much less drove a peddle bike hammered outta my mind for days across Asia! Respect SIR! Keep em coming this channel is pure GOLD 👍
Congrats on your sober time. If staying in bed and riding it out is what you need to do right now, then that's what you do. Everything else can wait. It gets easier in time.
Hi Bat, I am so worried, my colleague had a brain injury years ago, the thing is, he is off sick, 7th week now, he did detox but went straight back on the bottle, vodka straight, how do I help him? I pass letters through his door from teachers, we work in a school, he is losing everything, I have convinced management he will get better, he is 52 and apparently he has been boozing 25 years, he throws up blood and back passage, I just want to help him. He isn't paying rent or bills, I am scared he will end up homeless, he also was into judo and karate, how can someone let his home, possessions slip away and end up on the streets in Bradford, it's terrifying. Can you give me advice on what could turn him around. I don't want to lose my colleague to this as my mum died at 53 from liver cancer from cider. It's none of my business, he isn't a relative, but I have a deep compulsion to help him.
Why does Plymouth have Russian looking buildings? Did they build it ugly on purpose? Some towns are awful, but, usually they became run down over time, and were nice at first, but others, they were built disgustingly from the ground up.
Great stuff, as always 👍
Thank you Pete, I appreciate your ongoing support.
Thank god for the dragonfly girl and your parents!
Agreed.

3:24 5 DT episodes, wow 5 heart attacks survived.

There absolutely is a connection. Head trauma lowers your seizure threshold, for one thing. It makes hallucinations more likely, too. It exacerbates everything nasty about DT's, really.
That's not much scientific literature about it, but there are a LOT of people who've experienced it first-hand.

I think he was in Germany when he ended up on the psych ward
That's right, the psych ward was in Germany. Even though that was a horrible experience, it was technically better treatment than I got in the UK.

@@Flippant-j5d Thanks brother. It's difficult going through this. I love being sober but I also love being drunk.

You're pretty much the godfather of 'delirium tremensploitation' by now 🙃
You're never going to get that phrase to catch on.

Those jerks, so annoying! Not to mention the horrific, vivid nightmares...
You're maybe one or two proper benders away from actual DT's. Alcoholic hallucinosis is not yet it. Trust me, it gets worse the more often you do it.
Absolutely right.

hahaha I told my girlfriend that you said I looked like Adam Calhoun and she agreed. Thanks mate, it's good to have you here.
I have been craving a lot tonight all i have been able to do is stay in bed and ride it out. I will be sober 2 weeks tomorrow. 👍🏻
Keep strong my colleague is in a worst state than you losing everything including home and possessions
Congrats on your sober time. If staying in bed and riding it out is what you need to do right now, then that's what you do. Everything else can wait. It gets easier in time.
Thanks. Things will get easier my body needs time to adjust to the absence of alcohol.
Keep going. Sending positivity and love!

Bradford UK? Call the police for a wellness check. They will hook him up with a social worker. It's not a great system, but it's something.
Why does Plymouth have Russian looking buildings? Did they build it ugly on purpose? Some towns are awful, but, usually they became run down over time, and were nice at first, but others, they were built disgustingly from the ground up.
I don't know. It's an old city - it was a major port but as the need for the port declined, so did the city.
