ITs like getting over a drug addiction. You feel awful for a long time. Withdrawal.
A lot of people will take a new drug to get over the old ones, to ease the process. Some people will only stop using the old drug when they have the new one to replace it.
Now if they do that for a few weeks and stop, they were just using the drug to ease their withdrawal.
IF they just keep taking the new drug indfinitely, they are just continuing the old experience with a new substance.
Ok the James Corrolary on Rebound:
You are NOT rebounding if you can say that the new relationship didn't make it easier to leave your last one, in no way makes it easier to avoid or stay apart from the last person, and does not in anyway ease the feelings you have or would have from that seperation.
If you can say all that with complete and utter intellectual and emotional honesty, you are not rebounding.
