If you have been in the recovery world for any amount of time, you have likely heard the term “dry drunk”.  

This term is thrown around often, but I don’t think it is fully understood.  

I know I didn’t understand it when I first got sober, I just knew from the way everybody talked about it, that I should try not to become one.

But, what does it mean to be a "dry drunk"? 

How do we recognize the behaviors of it and how does that affect our recovery?

That is what we are going to talk about in this episode.
