- boppo1 5y agoCold turkey is a legitimate addiction strategy. Not successful for everyone though, and basically impossible for most people with the internet.
- zeta0134 5y agoAh, perhaps it has been misinterpreted. That was not my intent. "Take occasional breaks, they seem to help" was the goal, not "stop entirely and never start again."
