weigh the positives and negatives and if there are more negatives then do not text him, especially if it will make the situation worse

You should try to find something to do that could shift your focus away from your phone. or maybe you could turn your phone off.

Build up your self control. Delete his number if you have to. I'm sure you remember it by heart but everytime you feel like texting him, recollect why you stopped in the first place.

That is a really hard thing to do. Nearly impossible. But all I can suggest is to try to ignore it. Try putting the phone on silent.

Write down everything you want to say on a piece of paper every time you want to text him. But do not send the papers to him.

Distract yourself! Read, hang out with your friends, connect to a 7Cups listener, watch a film. Turn your phone off and give it to someone you trust.

I would definitely find a hobby and distract myself as much as possible or even talking to someone, dancing around the room, playing music so loud that you cant even hear yourself singing!!
