Reply #25: If you're a Dry Drunk

[Torn_Scorned_Ignored]

it really doesn't matter. I've heard dry drunks give leads in meetings about how "sobriety" has changed their lives, only to see them entering a bar down the street.

I've heard and know some dry drunks who do smoke pot and make the same claims, and they are so miserable they would be happier drinking.

Then there are the AA members who practice the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions who are happy and "restored to sanity" who are totally against not only Pot but will tell you if you need to take medication prescribed by a doctor, take it. As opposed to those members who say you shouldn't take any mood altering meds, regardless.

It all depends on your point of view.

Those who practice the Steps and Traditions mostly feel what you do in your own life is of no concern to them. It's a personal program.
