he sounds like a "dry drunk." He is doing the same behavior but he's not drinking! It sounds like he hasn't completely "surrendered" to the fact that he's an alcoholic, and needs a power greater than himself to restore him to sanity! If he keeps up like this, he will certainly drink again.

I hope the antidepressant helps -- but he's got anger issues that need addressing. I hope his therapist is helping him with this.
Yes, you certainly nailed it! Thank you for writing these words of understanding... feels good being validated in what I feel is happening.
The anger issues are crucial in this matter.
My husband lacks a "fighting spirit". He sees things in black and can't see and take energy from the little tiny things in life that I try to focus on to survive all this.
