You might look upon the relationship like an ex-smoker might look at cigarettes or a recovering alcoholic looks at booze: there was a relationship there, but it was unhealthy and a bad idea.
There was a pretty decent article a while ago on recovering from a break up: http://www.dearcupid.org/question/how-to-get-over-your-ex.html
There's always the aversion therapy approach; wear a rubber band around your wrist and *thwap* it when you think about her. Or when you think of her, remember how relieved you felt when the relationship was over.
She was a part of your life, so it's not a complete surprise you still think of her. Maybe you're not really missing her, maybe you're missing that potential you felt at the start of the relationship, before things went sour. You're nostalgic for that feeling, not her.
Good luck.

You should try everything to get her back. every relationship fights trust and believe. sometimes its hard to let go of someone because they haven't let to you also. you should really try to get her back and let her know exactly how you feel because woman love to hear how much you love them
