Going Cold turkey

[JulieC]

Is it possible to quit crossdressing by going "cold turkey" like you would when you quit smoking? If people quit smoking and don't miss it at all why can't you quit crossdressing and not miss that at all?

Sure. Much in the same way you can force yourself to stop using a perfectly good arm, or leg. Try not using just your non-primary hand for a couple of hours. Really. Try it! That'll give you just a smidgen of a taste of how it will feel to repress this part of you.

As another poster above noted, if someone was successful in "curing" their CDing, they probably wouldn't be on this forum. But, in all the years I've been doing this, and with all the CDers I've talked to or met, I've not heard of one single CDer that successfully "cured" this aspect of themselves, nor has anyone I have ever talked to.

If there were a cure, the person would be making millions of bucks selling their services. There are a LOT of tortured soul CDers out there. Some of them here on this forum. If there were a "cure", we'd know about it.

Being a CDer is part of you. You can't stop it like an addiction. You can't stop it like it's a habit. You can't eventually get over the emotions of it like a long past ex-spouse. It is _part_ of you, and no amount of trying to stop it will make this part of you suddenly vanish.

Try not using your hand for a couple of hours and see how unnatural it feels. If you can get through that without once accidentally using your hand, try it for a day. That too will give you a clue how good you are at cold turkey quitting CDing. It won't work. Trust me.
