Whenever you get the urge to text him, just remember the way he has hurt you. I think this will help to some extent.

There are a couple of ways you could try to avoid it, I know its really hard to try and cut off that contact. Would I be the umpteenth person to suggest even going as far as blocking the number? My other suggestion may or may not work, it will test your will power... Everytime you feel the urge to message him, type it out if you have to, and then simply delete it. A means of externalisation if you will.

Turn your phone off. Leave the room. Try and really focus your mind on something completely different that interests you.

Think of the reason you two broke up. Remind yourself that you are strong and independent and that you do not need a guy to make you happy.

It's definitely a challenge that I can sympathize with! See what you can do to distract yourself, do what you love and focus on you!

Do something else. Text a trusted friend about how you feel. I understand this but instead do something else. Like listen to music, draw/doodle, write about it, do a mindfulness activity.

You just need to realize that if he wanted to be with you he would be making an effort and texting you first. You just have to learn to let go even though it might be hard.

To stop contact you have to just set the line of blocking him and not contacting him. Each message you d not send is a step closer to your goal of not texting him.
