#Trending Series: Pt 7: What Is Dry Drunk?

Glenn and Mike describe dry drunk as the grumpy guy that hasn’t had a drink but is miserable and complains about everything in their life. Why? Because stopping drinking is one thing, but then what? If you’re drinking to escape, then stop drinking without surrendering to recovery, you are still miserable but without the alcohol – and the same sh%^ behavior is still there. 

Glenn and Mike elaborate on the difference between drunk, dry and sober. You can be drunk by yourself, you can be dry by yourself, but sober takes a community and a commitment to recovery.

If you feel like you’re a dry drunk, some helpful hints:

  1. Practice self care
  2. Avoid trigger situations
  3. Start a journal
  4. Take mind off cravings by doing other activities
  5. Limit things that hurt your sleep
  6. Think about engaging in the 12 steps of AA

Leaning in Until You Love It

Episode 18 – So, we all know the term ‘fake it until you make it…’ It really doesn’t settle with me well. It’s setting yourself up for failure before you even launch. Your mind tells you you are fraudulent, no good, etc…and I don’t know about you, but that’s no way I want to start a journey to change, growth, or adaptation in any part of my life. In this episode, I talk about real, raw change and how LEANING INTO your goals, aspirations, and shifts is much more sustainable. In addition, I go through action steps to accomplishing steps in the right direction for actually getting things done. Looking to make a shift in your life, business, or relationships OR become more grounded in the things that you do in life? This episode is for you!

James C – A Lover of Addicts

You can learn from anyone. You can learn what to do. You can learn what not to do. If you listen to their story, listen to their life and the challenges they face, if you truly listen – their story is suggesting to you how to overcome an obstacle in your life. That’s what we hear from James C.

James shares that he was given the gift of surrender on a cold January night in Michigan. It was the end of the road. He was highly addicted to alcohol, heroin, methadone, and valium and spent detox in a dingy, dark room. On the third night, sick as a dog, James tells us about the circumstances that led to his surrender, his gift of sobriety and the willingness to do the hard work that would be facing him after detox.
