Just like drugs. JUST DONT DO IT! Enjoy life, dont miss every holiday, every wedding, every birthday, etc. etc.
Just dont do it!! Before you waste another day, ask ANY major airline pilot what he would do. ANY!!

Have you ever worked a normal job? Why don't you go be a plumber, it must be fun fishing out hairballs from toilets full of cr@p for $100/hr.. those guys are really living the big life.
If you are really a 767 CA... flying one flight, long layover, one flight.. 5 days off.. $150k per year.. please realize you are doing better than 98% of Americans and most airline pilots in this country. Stop complaining and feeling sorry for yourself.
