Just ordered book 'understanding high functioning alcoholics' - anyone read it?

Is there anything else you would recommend on this subject?

I have read Caroline Knapp 'drinking a love story'.

Cleaning up by Tanya Glyde. Its excellent for high functioning alcoholics and its a great one for women. There were whole sections that I felt had been written for me. I ordered it into Ireland from Amazon. Its my favourite recovery book so far. I am going to put it away for a while then read it again. There is only one downside to it for me. The author has a sex addiction or some big issues anyway with sex/promiscuity(not suprising when you read about her father!) Anyway this kind of got in the way of my enjoyment some times but there are some paragraphs that are so good that it is still worth it. She excels when she talks about growing up in a repressed over critical home and the way this shaped her as an adult.
