Dry Drunk

I SPENT my first three months of AA in sheer heaven, as I find many of us do. I was way up on top of a mountain, high on the exhilaration of it all. But, as one very wise person told me, at the base of every high mountain is a very deep valley. I fell--hard! Just at the point where all should have been going well, I experienced my first dry drunk and was demolished.
