“As a recovering alcoholic I can state unequivocally that with the exception of very rare circumstances, stopping intake of alcohol cold turkey is still the most effective way of quitting for good.”
As a recovering alcoholic, I’m sure you also know that trying to force someone to go cold turkey who doesn’t have a desire to quit is never, ever going to work.

I certainly never stated nor did I have ANY intention of implying that anyone can be forced to quit consuming alcohol against there will for any sustained period of time.
My assertion was only that if someone strongly desires to become a sober person long term, stopping cold turkey is the most effective way to begin that process.
