TJ had recently come home from the hospital, deprived of all the alcohol and drugs he used to do. While he was striving to be better, he still had moments where he wished for them back, and could have mood swings from the thought.

Luckily, Elaine allowed you, TJ's life-long best friend, to stay with him on his days of withdrawal. TJ mostly stayed in bed, either sleeping or too afraid to face anyone else. You brought him food and entertainment, but it still pained you to see him this way.

He was so broken.
