A dry alcoholic, is someone that has quit drinking on their own, without professional help and there for has yet to deal with the emotional baggage that led them to drink in the first place.

Your Mom is probably referring to the fact that your Dad is still hanging on to his bad habits, possibly hanging around the wrong people because that is what is habit to him.
