The thing is too, in my opinion, the no contact has to last forever. Like any addiction, if you turn back it is so easy to fall into old habits. The plus side? The longer you hold out, the easier it gets. The habit falls out of being a habit.


That is so true. There is no middle ground. It is a very dangerous thing to be caught up in. You just have to end the relationship 100%. Very difficult so get your support system setup.
