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.
a cup is a cup.
well, I’m sorry you had that experience. I have not. I’m happier than I’ve ever been. I can’t wait to see what the future holds. Like all AVRTers, all I’m doing for my recovery is recognizing and shooting down my AV voice. Reading here also keeps the memories of hell fresh when I read “I’m back” stories. I’m glad (sincerely) you figured out what you needed to do for your recovery. I don’t consider myself in recovery. From smoking or drinking, I’m done. And I thank god for it.
