Alcoholism is a progressive disease, however - which means that untreated, it gets worse over time. Furthermore, high-functioning addicts are often in denial about their condition. High-functioning alcoholics:

• Cannot stop with one drink
• Are constantly thinking about their next drink
• Undergo personality changes when they drink
• Continue their behavior even when aware of the consequences

If this sounds like you, it's time to look into recovery treatment in Rancho Palos Verdes.
