Dry drunks are people who have stopped putting the addictive substance into their bodies but haven't changed the way they look at the world.
They may hide from responsiblity, resent everything that intrudes in the world they have built for themselves, hold resentments that colour their every mood, have delusions of grandeur, be entirely self centered, irrational and mean.
There is no way in the world to tell if someone who gets sober is going to be like this, and one friend's bad experience is not a predictor of your future.
You've only got today anyway, no point in worrying about things not here - they may never turn up after all, like a number 66 bus.
There isn't a lot of info around on this subject, but this one is ok...
