Sudden withdrawal from drugs (4,6)

I believe the answer is:

cold turkey

(Other definitions for cold turkey that I've seen before include "Cure" , "(Symptoms of) sudden withdrawal of addictive drug" , "Quick way to come off horse" , "Problems of withdrawal" , "When horse perhaps barred" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
