I don't get it. How are you "high functioning" if you are homeless and seldom go to work, etc.. That's just silly.

According to the Big Book of A.A. "An alcoholic is one who is allergic to alcohol";
therefore, I am, an alcoholic. I can not consume any amount of alcohol without getting very ill. (God is sooo good to me--and I mean that!)

I consider myself a "high functioning alcoholic"--and I do not drink.

That blog makes no sense to me. It describes the alcoholic who has hit bottom; not the alcoholic who is; minute by minute, day by day; in recovery, working the steps,
and living life on life's terms.

Am I missing something? Sorry if I am-------thanks--theo
