Thanks for listening-reading-and sharing.
I'm sure you've heard the term "dry drunk". He can put down the bottle, but that is only the first, and relatively small, step. You are correct; working a program to stay truly sober is difficult (at first), and never-ending. But the good news is that it becomes a way of life. Or CAN become.
It is in the everyday challenges of life when the rubber hits the road and the weaknesses are revealed. sounds like he has an accountability problem.
Good for you to be in therapy. If he just shows up, nothing will really change, but if he's working with the therapist, well. I hope you can have some joint sessions. Best to you
