you have made a decision that many of us here have made.

The answer to the above question is both complex and simple:

he is relapsing because he wishes to drink.

he is relapsing because he has a progressive bear of a condition, and the longer he's at it the harder it is to kick, and because he doesn't have compelling enough reason to quit.

and, btw, in my opinion, when someone doesnt' drink for a week it's not a relapse. when someone has a disease that is incurable but goes into remission, such as cancer or alcoholism, and they experience a time of good health, THEN the disease comes back with a vengence, THAT'S a relapse.

still keep comin here. i think you're gonna need us...
