Desperate's history will answer that question: NOTHING. He'll do nothing.
I appreciate the positive energy in your posts to him but you might like to read some of his threads. He complains about everything, and every solution has been proposed, but he "can't" do anything other than complain, and he's admitted (albeit in only one post I've seen) that he enjoys suffering. He pleads for help and advice about every little decision: whether walking is bad for him, or visiting his family over Christmas, or having a beer.
Well, I've made this proposal to another zealous new member, and I'll make it again: if you get our desperate to a happy place, I'll buy you a shiny new car.
