I've been dry for nearly 4 years now and I have noticed I am almost completely without emotion. I can do happy and laugh and excited if the occasion calls for it but there seems to be something missing.

I haven't been on here for quite some time but I came on today to find a post exactly like this one. Good to know I am not the only one. Its good to be so calm about everything, but sometimes I do find myself to resemble something of a rock.

My partner of 3 and a half years sometimes says I would show more emotion and be a bit more expressive. I think it upsets her a bit because I said once I used up all my emotions when I was drinking. Obviously for her she sees this as though its not her I love, but a previous partner. Its an awkward one really.

To the OP, good job on stopping the poison. Don't let what you see in your partner deter you from your goals and perhaps approach the subject when she is sober also. In a mutual environment and not at home.
