I'm going coldturkey on compulsive porn, music, junk foods, procrastination, negativity, worry, approval and gambling, all of which have been conceptualised as addictions, for at least one year and hopefully life. I've tried this moderation approach fmany times and failed, so this is it.
Cold turkey has always worked best form than gradual adjustment. BUT changing too many things at the same time is taxing on short term memory, and casual relapsing sometime meant a downward spiral that ended up disrupting the process.
I find it easir to remember to quit one thing at a time, I get less frustration from this approach.
Posting to thank you because your suggestion has helped me conquer a strong wave of sugar/carb cravings by listening to something.
