Proximate occasion of sin after conversion question

[Melkite_Sword]

assuming someone converts from a former sinful way of life and one of the sins they used to commit was getting drunk. When ever they were with a group of friends and there was alcohol they would get drunk (before conversion), this would be a proximate occasion of sin for him before the conversion. If after the conversion he realises that getting drunk was a mortal sin and was thus much much less likely to get drunk when around alcohol (to the point where he doesn’t think it presents a serious danger to him), based on the definition of a proximate occasion of sin as “one in which experience points to the same result from the special weakness of a particular person.” (New Advent), would this still be a proximate occasion of sin for the individual even though there is a very low probability of getting drunk if around alcohol again?

Discuss this with ones confessor.

Is it possible for something to no longer be a near occasion of mortal sin? Yes.

Is such the case in the persons case here described? – tis hard for someone on a forum to say…but they need to think about it --and I suggest they should discuss it with their confessor.
