how long has that gone on? Does he seem to be actively 'working' on his recovery?
There is a difference between challenging stages of recovery and simply being stuck in addiction without drinking.
Again, you have to make the call as to what you expect and deserve. Recovery is not an excuse to take advantage of someone. Recovery is about action, growth and progress.
