One definition of a dry drunk would be a sober person still suffering the bedevilments on page 52. In short, a high degree of internal discomfort which, unless treated, will get worse over time. Statistically, dry alcholics suicide more than wet ones, so it is a real problem.

How to treat the internal condition?

The old method was alcohol.

An alternative might be dope, legal or otherwise.

Another alternative might be to learn to live by spiritual principles using the 12 steps.

Only one of those options will bring a permanent and satisfying result.
