You're standing here in a place of greatness. There are great people on this forum (see the 'success stories' in the Trucking link below). 
To get any headway you've gotta move a little closer to one of them. 
Start with a virtual encounter, like read 5 dov posts

It depends. As soon as you adopt new behaviors it got better. Do you have a plan?

My plan is to just keep posting here, and in the chat room (whenever I get approved)

From my personal experience signing up for the 90 chart was very helpful, so do whatever works for you best, and keep on posting your success, we are all looking out to see you grow!
And btw, even if you do fall, dont just give up, as long as you are on the path to recovery there might be some ditches on the road, but as long as you keep on going you will see progress and it will become easier down the road,  you just keep on going! !

If that works for you that's fantastic. But usually people find that they need some new behavior to fight the urges.

With time your brain will get used to skip that and you wont miss it any more, just keep going, and prove it for yourself.

It works wonders just hold on.

Does posting here count as a new behavior?

Each man to his own

Its like saying "Does calling another gye count?"

Theres only one way to know. For me posting helped a lot, but it also meant being open minded and reading what other great brothers have sprinkled around the threads, and sharing the brotherhood.

For me calling other gye's hasn't helped as much as it does for others

Each man to his own..

It's a new one, whether it's effective for your brain that depends on how your brain works. You're the expert on you. Let us know what data you collect.

We'll see.

Problem is that the yetzer Hara is first tries to trick me with non-porn pritzus.....

To me it's all the same. I think what matters is what the "sales pitch" is. These are some sample sales pitches I experience:

"you have no choice but to get aroused because of the shoes/hair/skin/makeup/age/marital status etc"

"deep down she wants you to live with her"

"she is in the mood right now (at 9 am), you will certainly be able to live with her tonight"
