Completely stopping.
I.e. - Quitting smoking cold turkey - Quitting smoking by not going on a plan, or weaning yourself off or using the patch or nicotine gum. Just stopping completely.

To "quit cold turkey" means to quit doing something, typically something "bad for you", e.g. smoking, suddenly, completely and also, usually, unassisted, as opposed to gradually and/or with the benefit of some form of assistance, i.e. medication or a "programme".

A faster but unpleasant method of stopping an addictive habit, such as drugs or alcohol. It means that you just totally, completely stop, and never do it again (or at least try to).

It means giving up a bad habit completely at one time, not gradually.
A bad habit such as smoking, drugs or alcohol.
