cold-turkey means withdrawing from something you've been addicted to. it could be anything from watching too much t.v. to drugs

When I was a girl, there wasn't much to help my allergies or asthma, and my dad started giving me actifed to help me. It started with 1/2 a pill, and by the time I was a teen it was up to 2 pills a day or my allergies would make me swell up and I couldn't sleep. I think I was 16 or so and went to get a couple and then read the instructions, and they said 1 pill a day at most, and that it could be habit forming. I had been taking 2 pills a day for as long as I could remember... and I made the decision that I had to get off it. I picked a week, when we went camping, and I left it all at home. I itched and was miserable, plus I got... jittery. But I never took it again. I started feeling better after that week, a couple of months later I was put on zyrtec (which is not habit forming and doesn't have hardly any of the reactions that Actifed did. Far safer.) I never explained to my dad why I decided to stop other than I thought I was getting addicted and didn't want to be addicted to anything. I've given up zyrtec several times (certain times of the year I'm not as allergic as others...) so I know I'm not addicted to that. But man. I was addicted to Actifed.

Going cold turkey is bad, i went cold turkey when i quit smoking cigarettes, but i ended up picking up an other addiction to replace it, junk food became my crutch after that so i quit cold turkey from that and ended up smoking again only this time i smoke pipe tobacco now.

Yep, I quit smoking for three months, cold turkey. Then I went through some unbelievable stress, and started smoking again. Oh well, I'm gonna to try again. :)

Yes, this grateful recovering addict got clean the hard way. No BS watered-down 12-step superimposed on schlock psychobabble, either (no treatment centers!).
