What do people mean they realized they weren’t as functional as they thought?

It's settling.
It isn't even about money, it's about wanting to get up in the morning. Drinking and using definitely makes it just bearable enough so that you stay there instead of moving on to something more fulfilling.

Still I look back and realize that I was a functioning alcoholic only because I have a knack for certain things; I was getting by mostly on God given ability. Had I really invested myself and put my best foot forward there's no telling where I'd be right now.
That being said I am putting my best foot forward and looking ahead to great success in the future.
Congrats on the 17 days! Keep it up!
