Keep yourself busy! Keep yourself busy on the things you love doing the most, such as reading or watching movies and keep your mobile away from you for a while

I find something I love and throw myself into it in order to distract me from him and pass my time reading and living better.

Literally, when I was in that situation, I had to keep my phone across the room from myself every time I sat down. It was difficult, but necessary. It was the only way to stop myself from texting that special someone every time they crossed my mind.

I would occupy myself and give myself a break from the phone.If I don't remember his number,I will delete and block him,so that I am not tempted to chat first.I may even get a new phone number.

One of the best ways to stop yourself from texting him is to delete his number, remove him from facebook, remove him from whatever social media you are connected to him with. The first step to not talk to him is to remove him completely until you are completely over him. When you are ready, you can decide what you want to do from there. But the best way to keep from texting him is to delete his number and him from your life. I wish anyone who is dealing with this the best of luck. I know how hard it can be but I also know that you are strong enough to get over this, even if you don't think that you are.
