Strength,
AA calls that a dry drunk.
It leads to relapse...obviously.
AA offers a solution in working the steps etc.
Imo....rx drugs are the devil...
It is all about dopamine production.
I increase my dopamine through moderate exercise and by helping people.
Self care is important as well. Intamcy helps too.
Routine interaction...work, play etc help us be happy.
Sobriety is not just about not drinking, it is about modifying our lifestyle to be content while sober.
Since AA is not for me..for now....i have sober role models...
My wife...my son...some co workers...some gym friends etc.
I copy them.
Thanks.
