Meaning of the phrase: "Cold turkey"


I came across this phrase while reading a book on turning to Veganism.  Copied from wiki it means:


"Cold turkey" describes the actions of a person who abruptly gives up a habit or addiction rather than gradually easing the process through gradual reduction or by using replacement medication
