How do people cope when they still live with the person?

Mostly by shrinking the shared surface — separate hours, separate spaces, and as few unplanned conversations as possible until the lease or the living situation changes.

Can I do no contact under one roof?

A version of it, yes. Our guide to the no contact rule covers the still-living-together case, where the goal is fewer openings rather than total silence.

What helps when there's nowhere to fall apart?

Somewhere private that fits in a phone. The Recovery Companion gives you that, plus one small step a day that does not require the flat to be empty.
