Welcome to SR!
Truthfully, there's not much you CAN do, his recovery is his to manage & control. If he's been in recovery before, he already knows this. It sounds like he didn't have much actual sober time since his stint in rehab?
I've been dating a wonderful man for 6 months
...a year before we met he had been in a rehab centre for 7 months...
A few months before we met he started drinking again
It's typically inadvisable for someone to start a new relationship during the first year of sobriety for exactly this reason - the man you met is not the man you are in a relationship with.
He lied to you for 6 months & is upset with YOU? Think about that..... (((hugs)))
