I died and Jesus healed my alcohol addiction - NDE / Near Death Experience
What Researchers Found
The Story
The person was a heavy drinker struggling with alcoholism, an ulcer, and a rupturing esophagus. After days of heavy drinking and little sleep, she passed out and woke up feeling severely ill with a pounding heart, unable to get up without passing out. During this crisis, she saw clouds and bright white, orange, and golden light to her left. She turned and saw a man emerge from the clouds, wearing an orange and rust robe over cream, with brown hair, beard, and large compassionate brown eyes, accompanied by other beings. He silently asked if she wanted to come with them or stay to fix her life. She thought of her daughter and chose to stay. She felt overwhelming love, certainty of help, and God's presence, with her soul expanding. The man smiled and walked back into the clouds. After this, she got up without symptoms, called for help, tapered off alcohol with AA guidance, endured withdrawals, attended her first AA meeting on August 28, 1989, and has remained sober since, knowing she is not alone.

This NDE features no veridical perceptions of external events or details inaccessible by normal senses; it is a purely subjective visionary encounter with a Jesus-like figure during alcohol withdrawal. Evidential strength is minimal due to absence of impossible perceptual access, verifiable specifics, and any verification attempts.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
