Gaz, you don't seem to be interested in responding to me, so I will answer your question, and drop out of your thread.
A dry drunk in one that does not drink, but has all the same behaviors as before.
NO program, no self improvement, but no booze.
Others have posted suggesting you go to meetings too, yet unless I'm missing something, you have not mentioned anything about going to AA or anything else. Posting here is good, but not enuf IMHO.
FaeryQueen said it well. I may seem like a hard ass here, but gotta tell you, after coming here for 2 1/2 yrs, I have seen countless people try to get sober w/o working any type of formal program. Rarely does it work.
One of the moderators was not real pleased with me early in her sobreity when I gave her a bad time. Now she will be the first to admit it, without someone rattling her cage, she would not have progressed much in her sobriety.
Just not drinking for a month won't impress too many. It took years no doubt to get here.........
