Hi all, I am 94 days quit and today I decided to join the site. I quit after 14 years of Red Man chew and then 3 of Copenhagen LC. Tired of having sore gums and basically just afraid I would leave my wife with two kids. Two questions for the forum:

1. Where should I do Roll Call? I quit Oct. 19, 2012.

2. Lately I have been suffering from increasing anxiety and worry that I quit too late and have cancer somewhere in my head and neck. Anyway else ever get this? I have been having a problem for a couple of months with plugged ears and an ache in my throat. Saw two doctors, both told me not to worry about throat cancer from chewing. Of course I am feeling they are missing something and I might have cancer. Anyone else have these feelings of mistrusting drs and anxiety over having cancer?
Sometimes I think my worries are valid, other times I think it might just be guilt over chewing for so long when I knew it was bad for my health. That and the fact that I will have two beautiful sons under 15 months come March 14 and I am worried I won't' be here for them.
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Cdaniels I am praying for you.
congrats on 94 days. its never to late to stop myfriend. best decision you have made. yes you will be in the january 2013 group. i thank you for you prayers and concern. anxiety is a real bitch. it can trick you into thinking things are bad when they are not. take a breath and relax in the FACT that two doctors have said their is nothing to worry about. welcome and rwad read and read some more. there are a lot of damn fine quiters on here called vets that can help you out. pm people for numbers and try going into the chat room. this place is a God send. you got this. one day at a time.
Quit date 11-20-12
Never again for any reason. I quit for today. Today I live.

Welcome Wendell, glad to have you. Congrats on your 94 days!

Pull up a chair and start reading everything you can. You'll soon find many others have had the same concerns.

January 13 is your quit group. Head over and introduce yourself.

Shout if you anything.
