I can't keep falling to pgam enayim and pgam habrit anymore, I just can't take this constant battle of up and downs, of falling, going to the mikveh and promising not to do it ever again, and then a few days or weeks or even months later go through the same cycle again. I know the computer is the main factor in this problem but I learn a lot of Torah and I need it for school. I have put filters on it but when I decide that nothing matters and I'm going to follow the yetzer hara I can easily go around the filters. I don't know else to do I've gotten to the point today that I can't continue like this but I don't really know where to go from here. If there is any advice im you can give I would much appreciate it.

Yes, it's actually possible. The computer may not be the main factor in the problem. I had this problem and so did many others way before there was computers. There are a lot of tools on this site to help people struggling with porn and masturbation. Maybe give them a try, read the articles, give a call to one of the phone groups. Maybe Duvid Chaim's call will be up your alley.

Much Hatzlacha!
