That “dry drunk” explanation was what the families of my clients always got when they complained.

A couple of my oldest friends are totally rooted in AA-one of them has made AA his whole life for over 20 years-becoming a sponsor and believing he is some kind of a guru. He literally has no life, friends, etc outside of his AA meeting place. He has been married 4 times since he first started in AA.

I seldom answer my phone if one of them calls or texts, but if that fantasy works for them, that is okay-one size does not fit all-that is why there are so many therapies for substance available...

Should have said “substance abuse”...

I’m confused, complained... to whom, about what?
