Can anyone offer some perspective? Thanks for listening.

The part that is bolded: He made those promises while still under the influence or newly sober, right?
He was offering his alcoholic manipulations of you and your relationship.

Was he just telling you what you wanted to hear?

He is still very early in his recovery and he may improve, or this may be as good as it gets.
