 After twelve years it would be difficult. You can do it, but it will take extraordinary effort. You must cut off all modes of communication - email, phone, text, etc. There will be a great void in your life and you will feel lost.
Going cold turkey on something like this is very much like going through drug withdrawal. I am not surprised you have psychosomatic symptoms. It's those symptoms that will cause you to reach out to him and break the no contact. If you do, it will just set the healing process back.
It may take you a while to actually break the whole thing off. Many people go in cycles until the pain of being in the relationship far exceeds the pleasure they get from it. What I mean by cycles is this: when you're in contact it's wonderful but the pain you feel of being a mistress start to build up, so you cut contact and that pain goes away, but then longing and panic at the thought of not having him in your life drives you to contact him again, and the cycle starts over.
There are some online support groups/forums you can join that might help you through something like this. There are lots of women that have been "the other woman" and they are kind and understanding. You will need all the support to can get, so as to avoid contacting him and starting the cycle back up again. It really is like quitting a drug.
Best of luck.
