Room2Grow, you are right a dry drunk is someone who has stopped drinking but has no recovery. Therefore, the dry drunk is still in his disease because his thinking has not changed, and his behavior is still poor. Think of a person with a constant hangover, grouchy, angry, generally difficult to be around.
