His denial is very frustrating. I'm getting my phone out and recording him in secret next time so I can replay it to him.

Is that wrong?

In my opinion, yes, it's wrong. You are tying your sobriety and recovery to him and it's not like that. It's your recovery and it's up to you. If he asks you to have a drink with him, say 'No thanks' and head off to read a book or go for a walk. He doesn't understand addiction - most people don't, which is why we come here. Being angry towards him is simply hurting you.
