Title: Day One....seriously??
Post by: rangerhoffa on September 28, 2015, 09:49:00 PM
I have used Copenhagen for over 27 years. Started with Ranger School, and never stopped. I promised my wife I would quit on our wedding day, that was 18 years ago. I am finally able to admit to myself that it tastes like shit, and I hope this really is the last day I ever have a dip.

Who would have guessed I would find myself writing a post to some blog about a habit I thought was my friend, but now I know its really the opposite.

Ranger. Welcome to KTC. You are NOT ALONE. You will get support like you would not believe on this site . My advice is read all you can here. Drink water and a lot of it.

Admit you are an addict just like me and EVERYONE else who is here.

Go over to this page and post roll call every day. It is your promise to you fellow quit group brothers that you will NOT use nicotine in any form that day.

topic/11341759/16/ (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/11341759/16/)

Then next day do the same. Get to know guys in your group. Introduce yohrskef. Exchange phone numbers with some guys.

You CAN DO THIS!

Say "no" one day at a time. It's three days of hard suck then it's a mental game that can last weeks or even a month or more.

You CAN beat this.

Thanks for the encouraging words. I just threw away a perfectly good can of Copenhagen...Until today I would have punched someone for doing that.

I'll get on roll-call tomorrow and let y'all know how its going.

Thanks.

I don't think there really is anything "perfectly good" about a can of Copenhagen.

Welcome aboard.

I quit with you today.

Agreed with Stranger here. I know why you feel that way right now, but you will be disgusted with that stuff in very short order if you buy into the program. The cost? Post roll every day and keep that promise. That's it. Make sure to get yourself back here and post up tomorrow.

Welcome brother. I quit with you today. This place makes it easier, not easy, but definitely easier.

You can do this. Just remind yourself not to dip when the chance comes up.

That's why you don't put this shit off. You do it now, and don't wait till tomorrow. We see that shit all the time. Don't set a date, it never works.

A Bad ass ranger should be able to quit, where are you dude?

Post by: JB65 on September 29, 2015, 07:05:00 PM
Feel like it's my fault he's not here. Now I see why some of you guys are "tools" "pricks" and get told to "go f#@$ yourself".

I guess the nice level headed friend to everybody approach I've been using isn't effective. This is serious shit and being a nice guy is for the birds.

Unless ranger wants to prove me wrong. C'mon POST!!! Join us and set yourself free brother!

My thoughts exactly. One of the toughest men in the world, slave to a weed. Kick the nic bitch's ass! We are all here to support you, in return all we all is that you post your daily promise not to use nicotine.

I promise that once the fog of the first couple weeks lifts, you we see the world differently.

I quit with you today.

Ranger, let's go man. Roll up.

I hope he comes back...
