Need advice on getting over old flame

[Breakthehabit]

I was in love with an old flame for about a year and a half about six years ago but the relationship stopped after a lot of pain and heartbreak when she stopped reciprocating. We are still friends and I thought I got over her, but she came down to visit for the last week and... ug I think I'm in love again. All I can think about is how much I want to see her and even have trouble sleeping at night :(

I gotta find some way to forget about her. Should I just stop socializing with her? Take up drinking? Any advice would help.

u have to find out if she is in love with you back. if shes not then yes stop socializing with her. if you keep it up and she doesnt feel the same way it will just keep making you crazy. and remember, time heals all wounds.:)

Let me just say this one thing.

Taking up drinking is NEVER EVER *!EVER!* a good idea.

For AnYtHiNg.

Unless you're drinking Kool-Aid! Oh yeah!

Take up drinking?

Put it this way. I think it's ok if you only set yourself to go out for one or two nights and drink till you drop. You forget (temporarily), you get drunk and the hangover numbs your head, setting permanent brain damage. I had the experience of drinking till i got drunk in a joint, slept for one or two hours only to wake up and still see disco lights, and continue to drink again. I had also been so drunk that i slept in a drain. This is something i want to forget. Drinking doesn't help. Alcohol is an effective depressant.

Get on with your life. The harder you hold on to the relationship, the harder it is to let go. The more you try to forget, the harder it is to forget. Time heal all wounds. Someone told me that and at that time i don't believe that person, but its true, at least to me.

You know you like her a lot and have not stopped thinking about her all this time. it is very imnporatant that you tell her how you excatly feel for her even after all that has gone between you both. You really really need to tell her that you till like her and tell her not to keep you hanging and give you a very honest and staright answer. You will surely find yourself absorbed into her thoughts all the time all over again if you do not talk with her
