Dealing with a broken heart #3

It's kinda like going through detox.
Once you decide to stop using alcohol/drugs/whatever, you have to go through the process of getting it out of your system.
It's always hardest at the beginning because the "stuff" is still in your system.
But if you can take it day by day, then it starts to leave your "system" and the challenge is to not "go back" on it.
It's hard not to "go back on it" because you think you need it, and the "withdrawal" is so strong that you "think" that you cannot live without it.

Now maybe you have become addicted to the emotional "high" that it gave you, when it was good; and who doesn't want to feel emotionally "high", right?
But, you have to look at he whole relationship and why it didn't work. As much as I would like to say, sure, go ahead and call/text/etc. if it feels good, and will give you some temporary relief from your emotional discomfort, I don't know if that's the best advice I can give you.

The longer you don't contact him/her, the stronger you'll get.
The stronger you get, the less you will feel that your happiness depends on his/her "presence" in your life.
