seems like you might be expecting a bit more remorse than a ONE WEEK relapse calls for?? now granted i don't know what all he DID during that week, but he had three years, drank for a week and then immediately resumed his program AND is taking full responsibility for his choices and actions.
what he might have SAID while under the influence is really not the point here. most drunks don't remember half of what they said or did - even if they spouted off hurtful or stupid stuff.
now in a sober frame of mind he is staking claim to personal fault, not laying blame at anyone else's feet, including yours. i am not seeing how that could be a bad thing...........
