He's all better now don't you know. He doesn't need any additional counseling or to address any other issues. He's fine now, he thinks.
Just because someone stops drinking doesn't mean that they are "fine now." Does he go to any Meetings? What kind of support system does he have. He's going to have to get to the reasons as to why he drank. The hardest part of Recovery is the work on one's self after getting clean. There's nothing worse than a dry drunk. I know several people who just stopped drinking and didn't do anything else. They are truly miserable. They can't stay clean for very long because sooner or later, all those demons in the closet come out to haunt them. I stopped drinking and using drugs so many times without any help and I know I couldn't stay clean very long.
