Why #Quitting #ColdTurkey May Not Be the Best Answer to #Addiction

#Today I got some test results back, and while not surprising… anyway, looks like I’ll be going #ColdTurkey so I expect the foreseeable future to be rather unwelcoming. I may not toot for a while. Cheers.

@Bender #coldturkey is the answer to #twitter , not trying to get it for free. If you're still hooked on it, then you're still supporting #elonmusk 's right shift of twitter.

And believe it or not, something like this did happen to me when I was starting to use Linux!

I was attempting to dual-boot #EasyPeasy (an #Ubuntu derivative for netbooks waaaaaay back) and didn't know that you could partition and install from the live installer. So instead I ran a tool that did the partitioning from Windows XP. Halfway through I lost power and bricked the HDD. From that point and on, it was Linux or nothing! #coldturkey

I guess i owe Elon thanks on one issue - my screen time went down by 39% after deleting the bird app in december, and a further 8% in january due to a more general decrease in using SoMe for my part. I keep forgettinh abouy Mastodon, which is sad. I’ll try to be better, as the interactions i’ve had here has been so positive! #mastodon #socialmedia #twitter #coldturkey

@Teela I went #ColdTurkey about a month and a half ago. I absolutely REFUSE to give the #Twit any content. Period. Plus, I get so much more interaction here than I ever did there.

@pixiepippi You've hijacked my toot to do a dreadful #ColdTurkey pun!? I was tempted but didn't think I had the panache to get away with it.

@keefeglise
That's awful, you've spent days educating your stomach to expect regular snacks & now cold turkey. 😄

@PeelKittens A #ColdTurkey, lettuce and mayo sandwich is the only thing I’m missing about the UK this #BoxingDay

@JTS65 I found just blocking twitter.com at ISP level worked for me 👍😆 #ColdTurkey

@therobburgessshow Elon is winning on mastodon as well. Even after folks have 'migrated' they continue to talk about him.
I'm guilty too.
As long as we talk about him, he wins, even if it's bad. He is making a name for himself, becoming a household word around the dinner table.
His actions are eerily similar to what Trump did. He slowly put himself out there, until people talked about him, until people voted for him, until people made him their chosen one.

This is going to sound like a confession, & to some extent it is. A few days back. I deleted all cookies relating to The Other Place (never used its app, as too intrusive). As a result, it required a new login when I idly went to see what fresh misery it poured forth. That stopped me, and allowed me time to think.
Several times since, I automatically hovered over the bookmark. But I've already lost the desire even to see what's going on there, let alone participate. It's refreshing.

I quit smoking for years and then recently started again. I have decided today is the day to quit for good! I threw out my cigarettes. #coldturkey

OK.... #mastodon task for me today...do NOT boost anyone linking or referring to the #DeadbirdSite #ColdTurkey

Ok forgot the hashtag #coldturkey

Any tips on how to go #coldturkey from the #birdsite without deleting account would be appreciated.
