Hi an'ka,
My son's 'typical' period of sobriety was two months for quite awhile. Whether living at home or in the halfway house.... he would come up to that time, and within a matter of days and go right back to square one...or worse.
He lived that way for several years.
So, how do you know when an alcoholic actually means it?
The only way I can know that is by the
action I see sustained over a much longer period of time than two months.
