A person can become an ex-smoker, an-ex-alcoholic, an ex-liberal but a person cannot become an ex-child molester or ex-gay.

Actually, you can never become an ex-alcoholic, only a recovering alcoholic. Even if an alcoholic has been sober for years it will only take them a few months to become a full-blown alcoholic if they start to drink again.

There are plenty of ex-alcoholics who prove this is wrong.
