How do I break free from an addiction?

Author

you know when someone is both the. sickness and the only cure, that's the dilemma I'm in right now.
I just don't know why it's so hard for me I started no contact today but just an hour before it's tomorrow I already texted him and even now I still feel the strong urge to unblock and talk as usual help me I'm at a loss on what to do staying away is doing something to my mental health đŸ˜”đŸ€§

what do you usually feel right before you reach out? is it loneliness, or hoping they’ll finally respond differently this time?

i used to break no contact like clockwork, just to feel some kind of relief. it’s wild how the same person who hurt you also feels like the only one who can calm you down.

I’ve been there, Nicci. Talking to him used to lift my spirits too but he didn’t want me, and I don’t want someone who doesn’t choose me. What you’re feeling isn’t love, it’s withdrawal. Your brain’s used to getting its fix from him. Stay strong through the urges each time you don’t reach out, you’re healing.

no one and nothing can be both sickness and cure, if it makes you sick and feel worthless, then it's a sickness.

@Nicci sickness, like hard drugs, people feel good when they take it but it kills them and makes them sick.
