Glad you are sober- not sure if anyone brought it up above, since we were mostly addressing your concern about your friend - but you said you are recently sober.
Not sure what you mean by recent - days, weeks, months? My experience and the advice I got from others proved very important - I needed to focus on my SELF make some progress in [AA] before I could even start worrying about others. That would be the right focus of Step 12 - carrying the message to the alcoholic who still suffers, through service to others.
I still have to watch myself about drifting into others' biz. People looking for help, or questioning as your friend does, will eventually reach out if they admit they need help.
Best to you for staying sober then living in recovery.
