My exah had a detox with no obvious effects but it turned out the never actually stopped drinking.He saved some of his stash for topping himself up to "get over the hump" The detox was to fool me and himself even tho he knew he hadn't actually quit into thinking if he didn't have withdrawal symptoms he didn't have a problem. During a hospitalised detox a few weeks later( after we'd split up and he was found by a friend in a coma ) - he had fits. I wouldn't rule out him topping up and all this is an exercise in appeasing you.
