I had a friend who drank himself to death by the age of 34 yrs. Married had a 5 yr old daughter who played with my 5yr old all the time. My daughter is 30 now, married very happy with two children, 3 + 5 yr old. Anyway He called me while he’d been in the hospital for a severely bleeding ulcer. I haven’t heard from him for a coupla of years. He said it was a horrible technique used to stop the bleeding. They pumped his stomach full of ice cold water, very cold. They had to do it overnight with no promises. He called and asked me to bring him a few joints that he would smoke in the bathroom. Floored me on my ass when he said that. I told him he would be thrown out if caught with an illegal substance. Back in the 90’s that wouldn’t fly. When he left the hospital he lost his job wife and daughter and moved in with his parents basement and continued drinking liter after liter of Gordons & 5 O’clock vodka until he died. I received a call from his parents to see if there was anything of his I would like to keep and to stop by. I did they left me alone in the room he died in. I happened to step on an empty bottle near his bed. Under the bed was at least 50 or more empty bottles of nasty liquor. He was in so much pain yet even then he continued to drink straight liquor. That level is truly insane. Break my heart every time I think about the fun times we had before he crossed the line.
@@omegalamda3145 thank you for sharing. That sounds horrible, I'm sorry you had to experience that. And even more sorry for your friend to have had the fate he had
I wonder if Murrich was the drunk who ran over his family? His aversion to alcohol was purely out of guilt for running over his own family. So when he couldn't stop, he tested the hellgramite method on himself. He's living proof that it's a sucess. As for the flask he keeps in his office, it's rather for his patients, not himself. It would've made a nice backstory on his part, show that his hatred for alcohol isn't so one-sided. And it would've made him more relatable to Judson.
Alcholism is no joke and it would be refreshing to see commercials give a liitle bit of this, instead of stupid pretty pictures of beautiful people prancing around drinking and advocating it! I share birthaday with rod , not same year lol and love all his stuff. Not sure whether these newer adaptions are really his writings.
What a brilliant way to end alcoholism. To stop the Drunk Drivers, losers and addicts to Booze. If only it were true. It reminds me of the old adage, " Too Bad Stupidity isn't painful."
Yes. The HELLgram Technique works if you can be SCARED STRAIGHT. BUT...The ONLY Technique THAT is a SureShot is THE FEAR OF HURTING GOD & The Desire For CHRIST GOD TO "LIVE IN YOU" and "BE IN YOU" BEFORE ALL Things (especially Alcohol, Drugs, etc.... BEFORE All Addictions.) THE HOLY SPIRIT canNOT LIVE IN a Soul that does NOT YEARN TO STOP SINNING. The Holy Spirit flees from The Self-Serving One who "chooses" TO DESTROY their Soul's Temple, rather than choosing to purify it for the welcomed dwelling of The Holy Trinity in order to SERVE THEIR FATHER. LET JESUS SAVE US & SET US FREE From All Addictions, All Evil. Amen❤
I quit for sake of wife,and children. Then got passed over for every thing. Too dull. I was told. The army ,and factory. Thought I was anti social. The time in the army and family gone I still remain.
Can't believe I never saw this episode. People I know very well refer to alcohol as The Rapacious Creditor...always will come back for more until nothing is left. A quaint reminder is that should you ever go back out and drink is that it is 'waiting for you in the parking lot and doing push ups', only getting stronger if you slip. He could have foregone the worm if he would have had the Willingness to take twelve simple steps. Not saying the simple steps are easy....but it can be done.
My brother went through rehab three times for alcoholism but always started again as soon as he got out. He didn't buy into the 12 steps. He destroyed his liver and died alone at home on Christmas in 2016. So many people don't believe how addictive alcohol is. It destroyed my brother and brought so much grief to our family.
@bellacinderellakk He wanted to stop drinking. His words, exactly. The worm would stop him, all right, one way or the other. He'd either quit drinking and live or it would burst out of him and he'd die...and death is a really permanent way to stop any activity, isn't it? ;)
Er... go to a real doctor and get an ultrasound and have it removed. I get that its a metaphor for our lower selves / ego / inner demons etc... but still...
Funny that never occurs to him. "Hmmm, I've got this deadly parasite that causes extreme pain. Oh well. I'll just assume there is nothing I can do about it."
@Alexknowsbezt Well, I guess it's a good thing that the subject is never brought up in the episode. That way, it's up to the audience to imagine WHY Murrich hates alcohol so much if he's (supposedly) never drank before.
Nope, no violation of any ethical or legal standards of informed consent going on here. And there's no way the corporation-people in the TZ who cultivate hellgramites have substantial stakes in the manufacturing of ethyl alcohol.
The real hellgramite is a mean looking bug I tell ya, I had a couple get in my room, they get bout 4 to 5 inches long with big pinchers, they freak me out, my dad is an ol" country boy so he grabbed it and threw it back outside, I've lived here in West Virginia all my life, I'm 44 and I've only seen a hellgramite twice, I dont mess about in the woods much, but man I dont want one of them crawling around on me when I'm sleeping that's for sure
This is the equivalent of having my ex missus, attached to my stomach. No matter how much I drank, the bitch always made me drink more to numb the nagging !! 🤣🤣
Like are you gonna sit here and tell me the dude wouldn't go to the hospital, go see a specialist or a fucking dr lol like really? That's where the story lost me. He's just gonna take the word of some rando dude with a weird bug thing in his cabinet? Lol I'm all for suspending disbelief but come on.
Tobad you can't get replica of the suits they wore I have. The Bruce Lee suits from the game of death and enter the dragon I ware them in the dojo have a great week
Geezus dude if I had a fucking worm waiting for alcohol in my stomach I would just get some better drugs and everything would be fine....well not the marriage, but you’d live I guess 😄

Now for our 7th tradition, all donations go to books and to help members in our community
This is one of best of the series. In my opinion it is done in the Serling style.
I get it works but a parasite....tgat would Drive me crazy....should I say drive me to drink

I use these for bait when I go fishing in Indiana with my dad! We catch them ourselves in the rivers on the bottom of slate rocks. Great Bait!
i remember this one and it scared the crap out of me. As Emi Kikuno says below, the allegory is amazing.
6:34 Great Chastisement scene!!!! We need judges to enact interventions like these!!!!LOL
The weakass judges we have these days in this snowflake culture would NEVER do shit like that. Sad to say.
Brilliant, should have this in commercials and all over social media😁 , seriously ,

The original is from the british 1960s THE Catterpillar ! EARWIG IN EAR LOL
Wonderful illustration of addiction. It beats you or you beat it. Either way it costs you something. Ain't gonna be pretty.
I Agree..
Ugly is what we become.
It takes a long way and a lot of we need to accept..
We need to accept the fact that we are weak.And Need Help

Must have been the original concept for the original movie 'Alien ' .
With the creature growing inside the body.

he quit drinking and the smoking killed him
I was amazed he had that much booze at home. I quit drinking in 2003 and I could never make a bottle last til the next day.
@bellacinderellakk He wanted to stop drinking. His words, exactly. The worm would stop him, all right, one way or the other. He'd either quit drinking and live or it would burst out of him and he'd die...and death is a really permanent way to stop any activity, isn't it? ;)
He reminds me of Ryan Reynolds
Once he quits drinking, how is he going to stop smoking?
Right?
Plant Hellgram in lungs.:)
@@robertsviksna355
Good one
The put another worm up his dickhole.

Er... go to a real doctor and get an ultrasound and have it removed.

"Hmmm, I've got this deadly parasite that causes extreme pain. Oh well. I'll just assume there is nothing I can do about it."
I totally agree with you. The Hellemite is a Metaphor for what People in 12 Step Programs call our Disease. The Spiritual Malady.
lol
The Dr. Gives me Armitage family get out vibes 💯
Drinking some twisted tea well watching this
Great actor!
A parasite/symbiote like the go' auld. Should have made it to where he could not taste it either. He would have had an easier time quitting.
sounds like our sugar/yeast/ gluten problem
I've stopped eating all "-ose" products and sugar a while ago. It's a good feeling.
@@elfinko5862 How long did it take you to get over the sugar cravings sir
@@suziek888 about 5 days
Love this stuff
i had those gay pride sheets when i was a kid too - lol
@Alexknowsbezt Well, I guess it's a good thing that the subject is never brought up in the episode. That way, it's up to the audience to imagine WHY Murrich hates alcohol so much if he's (supposedly) never drank before.
almost thought it was xenomorph time for a second 😁
I really really hate drink drivers who believe that Alcohol doesn't effect there driving because they eat a meal
Fast forward a year and he's become a full on opiate addict.
Well these days that would be the case. lol
Yeah but still not drinking lol
i enjoyed it
The wife looks like the same actress in "One Day in Beaumont".
so that's where the idea for 'Alien' came from !

Bet you are a blast at a party
@@mannymistakesin8353 Yes.
THE WORM IS YOUR MIND . Once you know your self you overcome that worm ( YOUR MIND )
The real hellgramite is a mean looking bug I tell ya, I had a couple get in my room, they get bout 4 to 5 inches long with big pinchers, they freak me out, my dad is an ol" country boy so he grabbed it and threw it back outside, I've lived here in West Virginia all my life, I'm 44 and I've only seen a hellgramite twice, I dont mess about in the woods much, but man I dont want one of them crawling around on me when I'm sleeping that's for sure
Gas and hemorrhoids can be just as painful
That's a shitload of booze being discarded. What a heart-wrenching waste of perfectly good booze!!
Spot on Sport.
Thank god I didn't watch this episode when I was Any younger.
This is the equivalent of having my ex missus, attached to my stomach. No matter how much I drank, the bitch always made me drink more to numb the nagging !! 🤣🤣
@Alexknowsbezt
He probably got the details from a witness who saw the whole thing. But that's just me, sticking with my theory.
We now know you can't cold turkey alcohol. This would kill it's host from DTs.
Like are you gonna sit here and tell me the dude wouldn't go to the hospital, go see a specialist or a fucking dr lol like really? That's where the story lost me. He's just gonna take the word of some rando dude with a weird bug thing in his cabinet? Lol I'm all for suspending disbelief but come on.
Y didn't he go to the damn hospital?????
Tobad you can't get replica of the suits they wore I have. The Bruce Lee suits from the game of death and enter the dragon I ware them in the dojo have a great week
I go from listening to mandragora to this? Lol
@Alexknowsbezt
What, that he may have formerly been an alcoholic, or that the idea itself is good?
Part 3:

Help!!! I need a surgeon quick!!!
Why didn't the guy detox at a hospital? It's silly. But he obviously enjoys making everything much harder for himself. I guess that's why.
At least I've dealt with my affliction
8:03 it repeated the scene.???
Why doesn't he just Tell her about the worm?
Lol cold turkey
I quit cold turkey years ago! I never touch the stuff. I prefer cooked chicken!?😄
The Subutex of Alcohol? Too bad there is no alcohol receptor like the mu. What exactly are alcoholics addicted to? Pickling themselves?
Ending geezzzzzz
Part 3:
getlink.pro/yt/the-twilight-zone-hellgram-method-part-3
that reminded me a lot of alien oô when the worm moved inside him :o
Foreal though that’s some fucked up withdrawal 😄
Bollocks to that! the cure is worse than the disease
I tried this method, it didn't work, just made me hungry...
Deep tremors.....
Now you need a worm for your smoking 😅
Well, having a husband shouting of pains at night is much better ?
Just smoke weed
Geezus dude if I had a fucking worm waiting for alcohol in my stomach I would just get some better drugs and everything would be fine....well not the marriage, but you’d live I guess 😄
I thought it was placebo
Wish this was true
I see 34 alcoholics here. haha care to try the hellgram?
Gee nothing 2 worry about the bloke just got a bad hangover or a case of last nights curry playing up.
that's a fucked up way to stop drinking I'd just go wild turkey or do a 12 step program at a slow pace!
You shouldn't drink at all its bad for your health lol😁
🙆♂️
I saw the rainbow. was he Gay?
No. These are Straight Men!
