After every prolonged bout of heavy drinking when I suddenly decide to abruptly stop things get a little crazy.

This latest one I was living in a reality in which the world was governed by 3 alien races overseen by a group called the Watchers. Who had some sort of spiritual role or something. So every 100-1000 years one of these three groups arrive at earth to deliberate the affairs of mankind. This time it was a race of Cyborgs with AI. They mind-controlled my girlfriend and were communicating with me at one point. Though things got confusing when I think she turned into one of the bad guys and was communicating to her mothership via some sort of burp language. I also saw groups of identical looking people starring at me on the train which must have been robots trying to model the appearance of humans with a form of plastic.

I think that part was heavily influenced by watching Ancient Aliens.

The next part involved some sort of Satanic cult and gang stalking (a little hard to elaborate fully on that part). Anyway, eventually I was injected with sodium pentothal at the movie theatre. Which I had originally thought was going to be the take off point to the mothership that was prearranged by my girlfriends alien race. I was seeing all types of strange creatures on the way there. Like a 3 foot tall skinny woman and a huge ogre. Imagine my disappointment when the new reality struck me and I was actually being brainwashed while watching a tampered with version of the Hobbit. The people on the train now transformed from the robotic aliens to shifty looking spooks again all starring at me.

I couldn't get to sleep that night as I needed to fend off the assassination attempts when the NSA began speaking to me through the TV trying to pry out if I had committed an act of terror.

I eventually slept for 2 days and was back to normal.


Do you have any good experiences from alcohol induced delirium?

I used to drink a bottle of Russian Standard just about every night.

One night I took an Ambien.

I remember shadows moving around and I woke up sleeping on the floor.

I think I remember reading groups of three 'beings' being a common denominator of using salvia.
I had a salvia trip once where I could feel 3 person sized owls watching me and they were the 'witches of the universe' or some such.

Are you sure you weren't smoking salvia?

You should probably use a tapering schedule next time. I bet you're having seizures but completely unaware of it.

I was a tapering a little bit, just went down too abruptly I guess. I noticed some muscle spasms but I'm fairly certain there were no seizers otherwise my gf would have mentioned it.

Other night I was drinking while playing steel battalion alone so every mission would consist of a beer thru mission if I was successful and shotgun another if I failed. I got really hosed up try imagining drunk driving a huge mech. I, for one, am glad that power suits are very far from commercial distribution.

I had a family member nearly die, enter a medically induced coma, and because she's dependent on benzos and they did not even bother giving her valium, she woke up in a full blown benzo delirium which is like alcohol delirium. She went straight out of a coma into a psych ward and was prevented from taking any benzos, she started to come out of it after considerable time and medication, and when she saw her psychiatrist (who is in the same hospital and was never consulted) he went on a brutal murder spree and piked dead doctor heads in the halls of the hospital

Let's drink until we can't feel anymore!
My brother gets delusional every time he drinks a lot. He'll usually stop by my place to spread the crazy at about 1 in the morning. Occasionally I'll get a call from mom to go talk him down and haul his rear end home (It was my uncles job, but then he mac-attacked himself to death). A few of the notable ones off the top of my head.

I was having a party when he showed up bombed out of his mind, thought he was jesus and that a good friend who was visiting me was an angel. He decided he needed to impregnate her to save the world from demons. I'm not sure if her 70 year old boyfriend/sugar daddy was anything special, but he was also there. I thought it was a cheesy drunken pick up line until his clothes started coming off in the alley. She took it all in stride and helped me talk him into putting clothes back on. Then I had another friend of mine drive him home to sleep it off.

Another time he shows up at my house banging on the doors and windows, screaming about dragons attacking. Then, when I went out to haul his rear end back to his house he screams and falls to the ground screaming that I'm attacking him with my mind bullets. Obviously, the only way to counter such a psychic assault was to strip his clothes off (his pants, however, remained around his ankles) and attempt to sword fight me with his dick. While he was screaming, my neighbor came out with a baseball bat and saw him standing there in what little glory he had. He turned and waddled straight at my neighbor, dick in hand. Chris (not his name) threatened to bash his head in, so I did the only thing I could think of. I kicked my brother right in the junk. Once he recovered he was much more reasonable.

Then there was the time I took him to a gaming convention with me. One of the neck beards gave him a bottle of wild turkey. He spent all of Saturday night skulking around the hotel convinced that there were ninjas that wanted to kill him. I was pretty drunk by this point so I just let him go (I thought getting arrested for public intoxication would be good for him) I awoke the next morning to find a gamer buddy of mine sitting against the bathroom doorway. I looked in to see that my brother was naked and handcuffed, on his side in the shower. It seems that at some point during the night he decided he had the power to turn invisible, only it didn't work on his clothes. He then launched an attack (butt naked) on said friend of mine who was wearing a costume for some larp he was in. The other gamers (all whom I knew) in the area came to my friend's defense, subdued him, put a third friend's sex cuffs on him to make him easier to control, and planted him in the bathroom of my room.

Since the convention (5 years ago?) he's finally stopped drinking, or at least stopped coming over drunk. I think the lack of keys for the hand cuffs and having to do a walk of shame to the car probably played some role in his reform. I have no clue what the hell is wrong with him that drinking affects him like that. In contrast, I'm a happy child-like drunk who doesn't have weird delusions.

As long as you can maintain a high degree of function, alcoholism is a perfectly legit life choice. You should probably knock it off in your early-30's though because that's when your body starts to degrade and you really don't want to accelerate that if you can help it.

If you're having seizures, get some meds. That poo poo can kill you.

alcoholism will definitely kill a normal person once they hit 40s and 50s. your organs will basically turn to sacks of poo poo and you'll die a painful, yellow eyed death. also drunks are pretty loving obnoxious and if you've had an alcoholic relative you know what im talking about.

good luck

Drunks are insufferable. A chance encounter with a drunk you don't know, if you're not drunk, is one of the most angering and offputting social interactions you can have. If you have family who thinks they're a functional drunk being an insufferable drunk retard around you all the time is part of an eternal hell punishment. Don't be that guy. Please take heroin instead.

Alcoholism will ruin your life and make everyone you know and love hate you, about ten years before it kills you in a miserable way. But those people are choosing this because they did the math and catching a buzz is more important than being a miserable failure then dying . There I solved addiction

whenver that would happen i knew i had about 8 hours to either drink or get myself to the hospital to detox, otherwise lights out.

I agree, keys to maintaining high function if you're capable of it is to stay hydrated and get enough sleep. Which can actually be p hard.

I think I have to take an extremely long break, may have to stop, nearing the cut-off point. I heard a story of this guy who was a huge drinker before he joined the military. He completely stopped drinking for 22 years until he retired. Then he basically said 'finally free, can drink again' he died like 3 months later in his early 50's.

Yeah, I've heard similar stories a bunch of times in AA. People sober for like 10, 15, 20+ years go back out and are dead a short time thereafter. It's one of the reasons I'm gonna switch to weed as soon as I'm free, even though I've only smoked weed like 15 times in my life. I need something to take the edge off this bullshit life in America the Corporation, and clearly I've drank my lifetime quota of whiskey 50 times over.
