Ziggy B, thanks for the link to the article. Also perfectly described AH. I then click on "How to tell if you spouse is an alcoholic," and "10 signs your becoming an alcoholic."

I hope someone doesn't judge their possible alcoholic by only those list.

"High functioning" is not a type of addict. It is a stage of addiction. How long it lasts varies on the individual, but the end result is addicts become non-functioning as the disease progresses.
