I have a brother that is a highly functional alcoholic. He thinks my bipolar diagnosis explains a lot and believes it but not the substance use disorder. I know it is because when we spent time together he drank more than I did, plus he would slip off and smoke weed (he knows I have been steering clear of illegal drugs for a long time). So he would have a hard time defending his behavior if agreed that my substance use was a problem.
