Outsmarting Alcoholism
Haha!! Ralph=). I always pictured my drinking voice as the little shoulder devil. Once I recognized what he was, and the "sound" of his voice, I learned to laugh at all of the goofball things he told me to get me to take a drink. Oddly enough, this pissed the little guy off enough he would disappear, for longer stretches each time.

I don't particularly like the term "dry drunk" as it's often used in a disparaging way. Usually it's used to describe a person who is "merely" abstaining from alcohol - one who is physically sober. I personally applaud people who can do this. However, recovery involves another, equally important factor, that of emotional sobriety. When we see people who act alcoholically but aren't drinking, they haven't attained emotional sobriety. As Neo said, emotional sobriety involves tools learned in AA, SR, or some other program of recovery. I suggest you try AA for a while. It's an excellent program that will teach you how to attain that emotional sobriety.
