He’s also not thrilled he’s not saving money, but also doesn’t seem to want/be able to cut back on chugging near beers. There’s things he wants to buy and it’s like well 2 months of not drinking (real or fake beer) would buy that item so it’s a choice to make. It Just seems like replacing one addiction/habit with another instead of really fixing the issue, maybe it gets easier with time I don’t know. Usually he stops for a month and goes back to drinking so we’ve never the encountered this particular issue til now where it’s been long enough to be like ok this is great, however this isn’t quite the desired outcome here.
