John didn't say he fell off of the wagon because of Christine. Uncut (not Rolling Stone, as I'd said) said that they he was seen drunk in a bar during the 1997 tour and was mumbling about Christine. Clearly, he still had a flame for her. This prompted Stevie to say that John and Christine would still be together if he could have stopped drinking.

John and Christine's . . . well, John's baggage over losing Christine lasted for at least 20 years after the break up. I gather that Christine didn't have a problem with him and moved on, relatively quickly.
