i was on a dry drunk and not afraid to say it. didnt like it when i was called out on it until the evening about a month later when i came dam close to pickin up a 12 pack of resentment.
i acted like a dry drunk when i was on a dry drunk,too- same behvaiors as when i was drinkin.
i was on a dry drunk because i was white knuckling it-i wasnt doing anything for recovery.
