Cold Turkey Halt or Sprinkles Towards The Right Amount?

a poem

Some people need the COLD TURKEY HALT if something becomes too addicting yet others need a culling of things until they weed out all that doesn’t fit.

I remember being told the outrageous “tip” of just abandoning social media altogether for ultimate “mental health” at the height of the pandemic, when we couldn’t connect any other way.

Social media is helpful and even crucial in the current moment to connect.

It’s about how you curate your feed and how algorithms might shape our view through the world and more actively curating the feed that changes your relationship with it.

Sure, I’ve been able to drop Facebook entirely because it serves me no purpose other than to be a ghost account until I need to sell batches of things on the marketplace to locals…

But I use Twitter to connect with other writers, promote my side hustles and art, enjoy myself, see the world AND program weird little bots that count up towards infinity to keep myself intrigued.

Hi, I’m Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) and there are certainly some things that benefit from the cold turkey halt. Yet, the cold turkey stop doesn’t always work for everything, and to sell such a one-size-fits-all solution might not be looking at each behaviour with enough nuance. Also, why is it called “going cold turkey”? I find it to be a funny term and now I’m curious.
