It tough man I have been trying for 3 months with each attempt ending in relapse and it's mentally draining but I have decided to get back on track. Today is day 2 for me and the urges are strong and tough to fight but the only way out of this hell is to keep moving forward and not giving in. Before I would focus on a target say a week but I learned I need to just focus on the here and now. Fight one urge at a time and focus my energy on the moment not a target. Before you know it an hour turns into one day then two and on and on. Try to limit or avoid triggers. You have this brother. It's gonna suck hard but once you get through that you will have your life back.
The only way to get over this is time. One day at a time.
5 days is pretty good compared to earlier lapse patterns. Get up, and go for 6 days, now... Leap frog this thing. Whatever you lapse at, if you do, then go for 1x more day, until your streaks get lengthier.
At the same time, tweek what your routine is- innocent or related- until you hack into this habit.

That's right. That should be the attitude to start with. "Starting today I will not watch porn again no matter how hard the urges get."
6 days is pretty good, Do! I would celebrate that, and make it your standard to beat. Next time, do 7 or more days!
Use those videos you watched recently about being cured from the effects of PMO to motivate yourself. You can do it!
