some things that helped me to achieve the 90 days goal:
1) lots of mood elevating reading, like twersky stuff, and similars
2) lots of hashkofo mussar, like chovos halvoves
3) serious strict shmiraas einayim, no chance taken
4) internet filter
5) constant forum posting
6) giving chizuk to others non stop
7) mind concept changing, women are not objects, they are real people like me
8) accepting that its a sickness, not just an ordinary big sin
9) constantly asking hashem for help
10) accepting the fact that the challange is by far greater then i can humanly withstand
11) working every day ONLY FOR THAT SINGLE DAY (OR NIGHT)
12) constantly drifting my mind away from triggers

shmeichel's 12 steps.

Well put.

keep it up.

In my own experience it was easier to reach 90 then day number 300. Because I was less focused and things started sliding in. Stay strong!

I did three through twelve and found great solace in them. Maybe I should have tried your numbers 1 and 2 to save myself from horrible mood swings I was having.
Although I did do some reading....

If the road is pulling you down, it's a sign that you are going uphill, so just press harder on the gas!

Have a great day - unless, of course, you made other plans.

yeah, really.
In one of the chizuk emails there was an article from Bina about how Soton invented internet with the help of Bil'am uk'doime. Not a terribly profound idea, nor an extremely well-written article, but I found myself choking up at the end, so full of pity for myself for falling for his devious plan. It worked on me, to be sure!
So while his grip on me is well-established and even documented on this forum, I think it's fair to say that I submitted my resignation as the "jerk-squad" sergeant.
