I am now The Guy He Owes Money To, and until he gets that monkey (ha) off his back he and I won't be completely comfortable around each other. Sucks all around.

It doesn't have to be that way. If he starts making the right steps, and then follows them up, you can soon become The Guy Who Saved His Life But Doesn't Hold It Over Him.
Good luck to him, and don't forget that you did this because he's a friend.
