Book : Hot Turkey #773

Addiction is a cruel mistress and has blighted many people, but all of these tragically wasted lives could have been saved using one simple trick - denial. Both Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous claim the realisation of addiction is the first step towards recovery, but by delaying this crucial first step and recategorizing yourself as being "on the road to being on the road to recovery", you can enjoy one last month-long blowout before going cold turkey. In Hot Turkey we pose the questions drunk people are too wasted to ask. For example, giving in to your vice is often called "Falling off the Wagon", but how do we know the wagon is going in the right direction? Who is driving the wagon? Are there snacks on board? Maybe being on the wagon isn't all that great after all?

Usage

When player reads Book : Hot Turkey, they will not gain drug addiction for 31 days. Keep in mind you can still overdose, and to use rehab in Switzerland you need to have little bit addiction.

The best way to use the Hot Turkey book is to build up addiction before starting the book. Say if you are at 15% addiction at the start of the book, you will not gain further drug addiction for a month thanks to the book and the natural decay takes care of that built-up addiction for the next 31 days so that you essentially get down to 0% by the end of the month.

Natural decay takes out roughly 1 Xanax worth of addiction per day, so it is possible to stack 31 Xanax worth of addiction before starting this book. This means one should take roughly 16 days worth of Xanax without rehab/OD and then start off the book, if you follow 3 Xanax per day schedule while being in faction with maxed Toleration.

If you start the book while at 0% addiction, you are essentially "wasting" your natural decay potential for a month and also losing the ability to rehab once to restore happiness in case you OD.[1]
