Cold Turkey - Short Movie
"Cold turkey" is an expression describing the actions of a person who gives up a habit or addiction all at once. That is, rather than gradually easing the process through reduction or by using replacement medication. Its supposed advantage is that by not actively using supplemental methods, the person avoids thinking about the habit and its temptation, and avoids further feeding the chemical addiction. The supposed disadvantages related to the abuse of drugs such as alcohol, benzodiazepines, and heroin are unbearable withdrawal symptoms from the total absence, which may cause tremendous stress on the heart and blood vessels and — in a worst case scenario — possible stroke or heart failure. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) The movie shows us all stages of a cold turkey in fiction, but as real as possible. Running time approx 10min, short, color. Mini35, DV,
