I think dry drunk refers to unhappy abstinence. Plain and simple. Just not drinking and not happy about it.
Living a life in contented recovery, however, I think is a good balance between mind, body and spirit since they're all parts of the same basic unit: what happens to one part affects the others.
If you're working a program that enables you to re-center the mind and emotions to break the habits that contributed to the need for alcohol, it will ultimately make you enjoy living in the present without the need for that 'crutch.'
That's been my experience. Take care.
