N2 - The requirement of immediate and abrupt quitting (“cold turkey”) can be an obstacle to the acceptance and accomplishment of abstinence as a long-term outcome. Three alternative “warm turkey” routes to abstinence are discussed:(a) sobriety sampling,(b) tapering down, and (c) trial moderation. Clinical research evidence and case examples are provided in support of these alternative approaches.
