Living with a dry-drunk?

After the person has stopped drinking a marriage and family may still suffer from bad behavior!
The question I pose is: ‘what is the quality of recovery?’ The bottom line is that if you really are dry dunk then you are not far from a slip/binge/relapse! I’m afraid there is way too much focus on time in recovery, and not enough on what’s really going on inside the person.

~ Common Symptoms of dry drunk syndrome:
~ Arrogant;
~ Very judgmental;
~ Impatient;
~ Child-like behavior;
~ Irresponsible actions;
~ Irrational thoughts;
~ Blames others;
~ Over the top reactions.

I see a lot of people who have been in the fellowships for some time and yet do not have a real handle on recovery… they are struggling and know they need more help. For instance: if you don’t have a real spiritual connection or practice, then there’s something lacking in your recovery or attempts at recovery . That’s the beginning of a truly honest look inside. If you are working with any gifted psychotherapist &/or pastor then you’ll be looking at the deepest parts of yourself.
