TMZ has learned Charlie Sheen is back on the set of "Two and a Half Men" and is showing absolutely no sign he went on a major bender this weekend.
One source connected with the show tells TMZ, "He has the constitution of an ox," adding, "He's figured out a way of shutting down [the substance abuse] long enough so he can function normally when he has to. He's a complete functioning addict."
As TMZ first reported, Charlie was on a bender in Las Vegas over the weekend, partying with 3 porn stars. As one source involved in the situation tells TMZ, Charlie doesn't believe he has a problem: "He's having a good time. On the surface it's the opposite of hitting rock bottom."
Sources tell us people on his team talked to him on Friday about getting help for substance abuse, but Charlie would have none of it. By the way, we're told the show Charlie taped on Friday is "great, and Charlie nailed it."
Charlie arrived at 10:30 AM and is now on the set, rehearsing with Jon Cryer.

Sylvester Stallone had a sit-down with alleged ex-mafia boss "Junior" John Gotti at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills Thursday night -- but the only thing that got whacked was some Peking duck.
The meeting comes in the wake of TMZ's story that the two men are in serious talks to make a movie about Gotti's late mafia father -- The Teflon Don -- with Stallone playing the lead.
As for who paid during this encounter ... neither man was willing to squeal.

TMZ has learned Sylvester Stallone is in serious talks with "Junior" John Gotti to make a movie about his mobster icon father, the late John Gotti.
Sources say Sly will play Gotti, who died in prison in 2002. The story is based on "Junior" John's recollections of his tumultuous relationship with his dad.
"The Dapper Don" was the boss of the Gambino crime family -- one of the most powerful mafia families ever.
Gotti was convicted in 1992 of committing 13 murders. "Junior" Gotti was convicted of racketeering and got out of prison in 2005. He was indicted for racketeering and murder conspiracy in 2008 but the case ended in a mistrial ... and then "Junior" wrote a children's book.
As for Sly playing Gotti -- good casting, we might add -- we're told the project is far enough along that he's ready to pick a screenwriter.
