While in moderation it is not bad, excessive drinking can lead to drunk dialing. This is a state of where you call your ex in the overnight hours, leaving him or her message on the answering machine or voice mail, begging for another chance while completely blowing that chance through your actions.

(2) Text Message Terrorism

When you are used to having someone to talk to, no matter how inane the subject is, you may feel desperate about it. This leaves you to break the no contact rule by text messaging, calling, email and visiting him or her. You bombard them all the time.
