Welcome, so sorry you have to go through this. It sounds like he is still struggling with recovery and as many addicts who may have the best intentions that is not enough, they really need to work there program and want to stay sober.

One thing is YOU can't tell him anything, everything he does is going to have to be his choice. And it has nothing to do with YOU...He is going to have to work on staying sober for himself, otherwise it will not work.

Addicts can be very moody, self-centered people...but who can't. I would just make sure you work on yourself, and give him space. Take a step back and see which path he decides to take.

The people here are great, caring people. You found a great place, they have a lot of wonderful advice, and the best thing is they can relate.
