Alchol withdrawl has much higher levels of fatality than other drug use.

Reducing consumption of a substance makes any withdrawl easier but can be difficult to the user as some want it over with asap rather than gradual. However, if you fail to plan, plan to fail.

Good luck with the future job. Its demanding, very rewarding and always challenging. Just rememebr one thing though. What works for one person may not work for another. There is no single solution to abstinence.

They all said that Bush damaged and they would improve the image of the US with foreign allies, those in NATO.

They are not even in the White House and are already dumping that promise.

Although the phrase is today of the general public lexicon and is applied to even minor inconveniences (”My Blackberry died, so I went cold turkey all afternoon”), the most common use of the term is now in relation to drug withdrawal.

dates the phrase back to 1910 and states that it originally meant "without preparation," referring to the ease of making a dish of cold turkey. Meanwhile, The Phrase earliest reference is from the Canadian newspaper The Daily Colonist, October 1921: "Perhaps the most pitiful figures who have appeared before Dr. Carleton Simon..are those who voluntarily surrender themselves. When they go before him, they [drug addicts] are given what is called the turkey' treatment."

The 1936 edition of American Speech gave a definition of the term: "Cold turkey, treatment of addicts in institutions where they are taken off drugs suddenly without the off' which the addict always desires."

The talking/getting down to meaning of the term is largely limited to the U.S.A. The English newspaper The Daily Express explained that for an English audience in a January 1928 edition: "She talked cold turkey about sex. turkey' means plain truth in America."

There are many uses of the term in U.S. citations from the early 20th century. For example, this from The Oakland Tribune, August 1915: "This letter talks cold turkey. It gets down to brass."

In the state of drug withdrawal the blood is directed to the internal organs, leaving the skin white and with goose bumps. It has been suggested that this is what is alluded to by turkey'. Or the often extremely painful physical and mental symptoms of sudden and complete withdrawal from the drugs, “withdrawal sickness” so severe that it could actually cause death. These seem doubtful. It is much more likely that the allusion is to the direct, no nonsense approach indicated by the earlier speaking' (withdrawal) meaning of the term.

This is, of course, the cheapest method of quitting any habit, and its supposed advantage is that by not actively using supplemental methods, the person avoids thinking about the habit and therefore, the temptation.

Some think "cold turkey" came about because of the comparison between drug withdrawal and the dead bird.
Cold and wet skin with big goose bumps. (See we get your bird in too!)

If no one knew it before, John Lennon made "Cold Turkey" famous in 1969 as the title of his song about his own withdrawal from a term addiction to heroin.

Microbiologically there is nothing wrong with it as long as it has been handled properly.

D.T is usually caused when the addict has been using the drug at an exceptionally high amount to compensate effect for more than 5 years (I think 5 years, varies though). The danger of death is usually from alcohol, and not from opium, cocaine and heroin.

Always consult with your doctor to ask for medication adjustments. Going cold turkey can often lead to worse circumstances as you are quickly withdrawing from medications, this can cause your brain to go into shock. why when meds are stopped, the doctor usually tapers the dosage so your brain has time to acclimate. Hope this helps, good luck.

One site states, "The state addicts are in when withdrawing from drug addition, especially heroin. Origin: In the state of drug withdrawal the addicts blood is directed to the internal organs leaving the skin white and with goose bumps and thus resembling a turkey."

Another site explains, "This phrase meaning "without preparation" dates to 1910. The use in relation to withdrawal from an addictive substance (originally heroin) dates to around 1922. The derivation is from the idea that cold turkey is a food that requires little preparation in the kitchen. So to quit like cold turkey is to do so suddenly and without preparation. It is also boosted by the image of the pallid flesh of a cold, dead, plucked turkey. In the state of drug withdrawal the addicts blood is directed to the internal organs leaving the skin white and with goose bumps and thus resembling a turkey."

Yet another site says, turkey' is actually based on another colloquial phrase, "to talk turkey" (sometimes "to talk cold turkey"), meaning to face unpleasant truths squarely. not entirely clear how turkeys came to be associated with honesty and straightforward confrontation of difficulties, but it may simply be that turkey farmers were renowned at one time for their lack of pretense and blunt speech."

"MECHANICALLY SEPARATED POULTRY
is a paste-like and batter-like poultry product produced by forcing bones with attached edible tissue through a sieve or similar device under high pressure to separate bone from the edible tissue. Mechanically separated poultry has been used in poultry products since 1969. In 1995, a final rule on mechanically separated poultry said it would be used without restrictions. However, it must be labeled as "mechanically separated chicken or turkey" in the ingredients statement. The final rule became effective November 4, 1996."

Argh, now I need to go check and see how much of my food is poultry batter/paste

Hope thoes help
