Making your first amends two months after a slip is probably a mistake. If you are no more than eight weeks past the self delusion entailed to drink, you almost certainly lack the self awareness required to do a ninth step. It's not about saying "I'm sorry" - anyone close to him already knows the sorry state of his affairs. It's about making amends. If he didn't clearly state what he was going to do differently or ask what he could do to right past wrongs, what you experienced was far from the mark of what the ninth step is about.
