kara lynne, recovery is no miracle.
a quick google turned this up:
"Relapse rates for addictive diseases range from 50 percent for resumption of heavy use to 90 percent for a brief lapse."http://alcoholism.about.com/cs/relapse/a/blcaron030804.htm
especially when he was "forced" into recovery by external events, (your breakup), and not from internal motivation, his chances for success are not good.
you are not missing out on anything! if you were with him, you would be missing out on the personal growth you are now experiencing. you are doing better without him! please trust us.
take care
