Is this Considered a Lost Battle?

Hello All and God bless you!
New here after reading Your Brain on Porn for the second time.

A BRIEF INTRO:
27 yr old battling this addiction since the past 5-6 years. I relapsed recently after a 7 month streak due to a highly stressful period in my life dealing with family issues and mental health. Thought a quick relief watching vanilla porn would do. Next thing you know am in the deep shit. Now I am on my 5th week Porn-FREE. This is going to be the nail in the coffin for me. Am OVER WITH IT!

NOW IS THIS A LOST BATTLE IN THIS WAR? THOUGHTS?
Now 5 weeks in, ive had many urges. Times where i felt like an absolute animal looking for a relief. I did orgasm once during the time but it was all through fantasizing about vaginal intercourse with my ex. Which i consider it to be “OKAY” (Barely any masturbation)

But whats bothering me is that two days ago, I orgasmed also when I unintentionally came across a picture that reminded me of my fetish. That led to another picture and next thing you know am having an orgasm. I immediately threw the phone away and fantasized about vaginal intercourse till i came. (No masturbation) I have been beating myself up on this for the last two days. I think I do have a very high sexual drive and there isnt a day that goes by without thinking about women in general and trying to get back into the dating game. I went through a breakup with my ex a month ago so that doesn't help at all.

Please let me know what you think. I would appreciate some feedback from the vets that buried this addiction!

And if you are new to this, i’d like to tell you that theres light at the end of the tunnel! Ive been almost there. My self confidence came back, I've dated more girls when i was off this shit (6-7 months) than i did in years, and i felt more ambitious and happy than I was. YOU GOT THIS!
