It would have been better if he used the 9k to sponsor a pub crawl.
Cheers!

He actually could still attend AA meetings because attendance and membership is anonymous. Notice his mug isn't published.

He paid back the money, which shows remorse and augurs well for his recovery. AA members are compassionate enough to forgive him. They know first hand that beating alcoholism is not easy.
