When a message could be texted within a sentence or sentences and then send it out as one text entry, the message is broken down into a single word, words, or phrases. Because One message is broken down into a few text entries, the recipient receives 5-6 messages instead of 1.
"Omg Maggie freaking loves break-texting so every time she texts me, I got 10 messages instead of 1"
Breaking your clean gives the meaning of getting back into a bad habit. This can include getting back into drugs, self harm, or giving up rehab (mainly self harming again after doing it before after a long time).
“I noticed you were drinking again last night. Did you break your clean?”
-“I did. I might need to go back into rehab to fix it.”
