i don't think you necessarily have to cut the line with every break-up. my ex-husband and i still text on occasion, and there is zero animosity between us. we had a very business-like relationship, and parted on good terms. there was not a single hint of drama, or any craziness surrounding our divorce, and that's made it possible for us to stay in contact. we still wish each other happy birthday, occasionally catch each other up on the goings-on of our families, and even hug when we see each other. heck, he texted me in the middle of the night on friday to ask me if he could have his wright flyer christmas ornament when i got all of the decorations out this year. 
that being said, i probably should have destroyed the line the FIRST time my xabf broke up with me. ah, to be young, in love, and codependent!

Why should you have anything to do with anyone who doesn't treat you with respect? I don't know you but I'm sure you can do much better with a normal (non-alcoholic) person. Congrats on an important step: it may not feel right but you deserve a gold star!

But with sick relationship, all bets are off!
