I’ll never forget the first week I went no-contact.
It felt like withdrawal. I kept checking my phone. I had to fight the urge to explain myself, to say just one more thing. I had dreams about them. I missed them—desperately.
But every time I stayed silent, something inside me grew stronger.
And eventually, the cravings faded. The fog lifted. The anxiety shrank.
In its place came clarity. Self-trust. Peace.
And for the first time in a long time, I didn’t want to go back.

They had a chance. They made choices. You’re not cruel for protecting your peace.
3. It will feel uncomfortable at first. That’s okay.
