Addicted to alcohol: Stop drinking. You can’t control an addiction so you have to completely stop.
Addicted to cigarettes: Stop smoking. You can’t control an addiction so you have to completely stop.
Addicted to crack: Stop smoking crack. You can’t control an addiction so you have to completely stop.
Addicted to food: Must be your fault for being weak-willed. Just don’t consume so much of that thing that you’re addicted to. You can control your addiction. Just stop being a loser…
The literal solution to every addiction is stop it, cold turkey. One Day At A Time. But you can’t stop eating food.
People that tell people to go cold turkey. Are just as clueless about addiction as the people they’re trying to convince. The greatest conquest of my life was quitting cigarettes. It took a process.
Some people can quit cold turkey, most can’t. Assume you’re part of the majority and take away whatever emotional or social attachment you have to your addiction and gradually reduce whatever it is until it’s completely under control.
I’m thankful that food has never been an issue for me.
If I eat more than twice a day, I’ll be so sick I can’t stand it. If I’m going to a party or family gathering where food will be served, I skip dinner and breakfast leading up to it so that I’ll be able to enjoy it.
Drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes though. Good god. Lifelong struggle. I’ve been sober from everything but alcohol and nicotine for a decade now. It’s time to get the ball rolling.
I have been in positions where the world forced me to stop drinking for short periods of time. I handled it fine, I just need to make the jump.
I would walk 5 miles in the snow for a single cigarette though. I would fight anyone for the chance to smoke if I haven’t had one for a while. You could catch me in a trap like a wild animal if you just stuck some cigarettes on there where the bait would normally go.
It has been the hardest thing I have ever dealt with in my life. I quit for 12 days one time and got fired from job for cussing the boss out. I lose my head so damn bad when I haven’t had nicotine that it is unreal.

Except alcohol, stopping cold turkey after prolonged heavy drinking can kill you
Alcohol and benzos.
