You can quit ‘Cold Turkey’, any time, you just have to want it enough. People quit smoking, drinking, binge eating, masturbating to pornography, you name it, they’ve quit doing it, ’Cold Turkey’, no help, just the decision to stop backed with willpower and a strong constitution.
Don’t believe it. It’s not true. Literally, one person in ten thousand, maybe. The rest are forgetting the little slip ups, the couple of puffs, a few sips, the bags of chips, releasing the stress…
The reality of addiction is that the person who is trying to quit is not who they used to be, so how is ‘Cold Turkey’ possible? There is no ‘old you’ to come back to, instead a different you, through a filter of the effects of your changed body chemistry. The changed chemistry calls out for the stimulus that caused the change, a cellular compulsion that feels like an urge, getting stronger the longer you go ‘without’, it’s a war every addicted person fights when they try to quit, whether you want to or not.
Win some, lose some, hope you develop a winning streak…
