It really depends on the person and the drug. People can and do quit cigarettes cold turkey and succeed relatively often. Harder drugs like benzos or opiates have a much smaller percentage who do that, and even then most dont do it by choice.

Cocopanda@lemmy.world 1 week agoPeople 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.
