Welcome back I'm sorry for what brings you here though, of course.
You know, addiction never goes away. It is never cured. He will never not be an alcoholic. Unless he is working a strong program, chances are he won't stay sober, or at least not for long, so it would seem.
I went back and read your previous thread and dandylion linked to this post:

Nothing much has changed?
What I would recommend now is reading up on alcoholism and understanding it because knowledge is power. It's not like a broken leg where he has healed and all is well. The craving, the - oh I can just drink moderately - the alcoholic voice is calling and nothing you can do will change that. He has to want that change.

Keep posting and try to focus back on yourself. You didn't Cause this, can't Control it and can't Cure it (the 3 cs).
One other thing, have you discussed this with him? Did you ask him these questions? " Wasn't he supposed to learn the tools to get himself back on track? Doesn't he remember what things were like before when they were so bad? Why does he want to go through this again"?
