Review: Worth the read

High Functioning Alcoholic isn't the sort of book that I'd typically gravitate to.  After finishing it, though, there were some eye-opening lessons.  For one, there is a perception that only one type of alcoholic exists- the one that ruins lives and families, destroying everything in their path.  On the other hand, there are subsets of alcoholics that carry on successful careers and pursuits, all the while drinking heavily and maintaining a balance, unbeknownst to anyone.The book helps identify telltale signs of a problem and is a starting point for regaining control without dependence on alcohol.  A different story for sure, but worth the read.
