answer:A dry drunk/junkie is someone who has managed to quit the actual substance abuse, but not resolve the bigger life issues that drove them to drink/do drugs in the first place. Substance abuse isn’t the problem, it’s a symptom of a bigger problem that contributes to and severely aggravates the per-existing problems, and helps create new ones. But just not partaking in the substances doesn’t fix all those bigger issues. It’s totally legit (though, I cannot speak to if this is the case with you; I don’t really know you that well). I don’t really know if NA is for you, but I think there’s another way of looking at this; NA is basically free therapy that focuses not just on not taking substances, but on the improvement of one’s entire life. If you have a history of substance abuse, then you qualify for NA, so why not take advantage of this resource, regardless of if you are a dry drunk/junkie or if the two are unrelated?
