Some of this is second hand, but I think it was sometime in May 2011 JW was really hating himself and his life so he tried to drink himself to death. He ended up in our local hospital and when he came out he went totally off the bottle. He lasted 60 to 70 days.
During this time he experienced a radical personality change and an extreme loss of weight. Weight wise he went from 200 plus to 140 something. JW suffers from bipolar disorder that presents mostly as extreme mania where he goes for days without sleeping.
Somewhere near the tail end of this time of being dry I was told by his brother or mother that he had checked himself into the hospital wanting help. This man was wanting and seeking help. I really did not know him well, but I was moved to buy him a bible and also get him a get well card.
