Yes, the question was how long do you think it will take for him to go back to hospital? Weird as this sounds, maybe sooner than later is better, as is his only wake up call and he will loose less.
No one can answer that. Some alcoholics never seek recovery, that's a personal choice. All of this is, for him.

But I don’t know, the fact that now he manages to keep his falls happening more seldom, isn’t it a good indicator?
No, not really. It's not really an indicator of anything. It's not a "fall" - he's just drinking. For the moment he is trying to contain it.

The 3 c's - which you may have seen before. You didn't Cause it, can't Control it and can't Cure it.

You might find the Friends and Family forum helpful. There are stickies at the top of the forum with tons of posts and of course the main forum:

There was a really good post over there this morning that you might find interesting:
