Good for you for holding out! Those little tiny victories where you don't pick up the phone start to come together and make up a thing called "detaching".
I just had to do the same thing - put down my phone when I wanted to text, think of something I could tell her and I would ask myself, "Is this ONLY about the kids or something that has to be said?" If it wasn't important, I didn't do it.
Right now, I'm a bit down, so I'm going to make myself go play Wii with S6. When you start to replace negative feelings with positive actions, I think your mind starts to help you out. Why sit here and be down - what would that accomplish?
I agree with you though - having nothing to do is the hardest. I read alot of these forums, call people and chat, have started working doing maintenance on my house. It is just replacement busy work, and I know I need something "deeper", but I refuse to let W control me to the point that I sit around like Mr. Poopypants!
