I think so ... I'm impressed (and stunned) that he has taken the steps he has so far. He doesn't have a history of sticking to things and is prone to running away from his problems. That he is acknowledging he HAS a problem is a good sign, I think. He isn't being entirely honest with himself or us yet -- he claims that he began drinking to deal with the pain of his back problem, but I know he had been drinking at least since his divorce.
