Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of every word in the see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you don't understand the culture behind it.
Quit cold turkey
Meaning:
Quit a bad habit such as smoking or drinking alcohol suddenly, without any gradual adjustment.
If you quit something (smoking, etc.) cold turkey, you stop it suddenly and completely.
Example:
Tom was a heavy drinker for more than 15 years; then he quit drinking cold turkey. He's never drunk again since then.
