My body could not metabolize alcohol anymore. So when I would drink, it would put my heart into arithmea (b-fib) and I would have to go to the hospital to be cardioverted. The medicines did not work, so the only way to get my heart back on a normal rhythm was going to the electric chair.
I stopped chewing because after I stopped drinking, had a lot of anxiety. Even more when I would chew. I guess the nicotine. The sober mind went off, and told me I didn't wanna die of lip/jaw/throat cancer, so I quit that also.
I still had incredible anxiety for a bit longer. Took Xanex. But then I started the treadmill, bowflex, working out more, and the anxiety went away. Stopped the xanex last year.
