Symptoms of being a dry drunk

16  2018-08-03 by i_got_a_small_deeek

Resentment toward friends or family

Jim seems to avoid his seemingly nice family at all costs. Why?

Depression, anxiety, and fear of relapse

Sounds like Jim.

Jealousy of friends who are not struggling with addiction

Has said in the past multiple times he wishes he could be like Rogan who smokes weed and still does comedy

Romanticizing their drinking days

He always talks about how bad he was when he'd get lit off a couple wine coolers and call the FBI or whatever.

Being self-obsessed

Jim? Self-obsessed? No way!

Replacing the addiction with a new vice (e.g., sex, food, and internet use)

Edging for hours, tens of thousands per month on hookers, etc.

CASE CLOSED.

Sounds like Jimmy needs a meeting.

The only thing he's missing is having been a drunk in the first place. Going to AA saved Jim's life in his mind, not because he had any demons to battle, but because he had no real identity before that. Jim would a blank human if not for various publicly popular phenomena that he could attach himself to. He needs people to tell him what he is

Literally this. He was a zilch with a Kanga hat.
