welcome!!
you are probably an addict as everyone guessed. many of us are check out the twenty tools. i had the most benefit from face to face meetings and now making a few phone calls a day and listening to my sponsor (that's an SA thing)
it also helped me tons that i have a mentor from here who i can (and do) call often.
best of luck
I usually don't reply to these things, but I can't watch this on the sidelines. My experience has shown that labelling oneself an addict is an incredibly personal decision. No one could tell me I'm an addict. I needed to decide that for myself. I refrain from telling people what they are. I only call them a label if I know they already call themselves that.

Day #9
B"H I passed Day #8, and Today is Day #9.
I’m very thankful that Today is called number #9, wow, I’m very grateful and thankful to Hashem because he is always on my side, he loves me, even I don’t see it, but I believe it, and every Nisoyion, is just another test, he wants to test me how far I will go out of my way for him, and even I might fall, which I hope not, I’m still his child, and he still loves me, and im not a fool or a loser, so, I won’t fool myself, I’m a full fledge addict, and I am powerless on my addiction, and I need to be constantly fully aware of that. I’m still on top of the hill, one slip and booms.
I had a very clean and successful day yesterday, and I’m very very proud of that, I did have a strong urge of Lust last night when I went to bed, and I begged Hashem he should watch me, he shouldn’t leave me for a second, and he did, I fell asleep Beshulem. Thank You Hashem.. Thank You all GYE Chaveirim, and thanks to my Partner, for my new life… Thank You
Today is Day #9, and Today only, I really want to stay clean, and I will stay clean for the rest of my life, I realized that I’m Powerless, I can’t help myself by myself, I need upper power, assistance and guidance, the Today is not long at all, it’s a matter of just a few hours, I won’t mess up the few moments left in Today, and Hashem, please stay on my 2 sides, please don't let me down, I want to stay clean, and help me, my partner, all GYE members and all Klal Yisroel stay clean.
Stay Strong! Stay Clean! Yes! We can! Together!

Day #8
B"H I passed Day #7, and Today is Day #8.
Yes, I gained another Today, that Today is called number #8, wow, I’m clean for more than a week, a full week, who would believe that, (I’m really clean of porn and looking at inappropriate stuff for 66 days, i just had a fall, if that counts) I’m very grateful and thankful to Hashem because he is always on my side, I won’t fool myself, I’m a full fledge addict, and I am powerless on my addiction, and I need to be constantly fully aware of that. I’m still on top of the hill, one slip and booms.
I had a very successful day yesterday, and I’m very very proud of that, I had to use the NYC subway, and I don’t have to describe how it looks like, there is more “human like Animals” then regular humans, it was packed, and I didn’t look anywhere, I didn’t cheat, not even once, yes, it was very triggering, but I came out clean, It was hot, i was bullet sweating, so I was thinking to myself, that my heart is probably being washed out now, that’s why im wet, הרב כבסני מעוני ומחטאתי טהרנו, I wept on mentioning names of people who are desperate for ישועות, and I said, that I’m working hard not to fail, so Hashem should help this people too.

What makes them human like animals (especially since you didnt look at any of them)
Is it what they are wearing?
Did you look into their souls?
Not to take away from your victory over the lust but i have to argue with the base degradation of those souls.
And with HHM by adding to it by calling them the lowest of the low.
In a place like NYC a bunch of them are Jewish and don't even know it.
Are we excluding those?
Animals in terms:
1) they ware the same clothes like animals = undressed
2) אתם קרוין אדם ואין אומות העולם קרוין אדם = Animals
So then you're cured!!!
Theres no halachic issue with looking at animals.

Welcome.
It is an addiction.
Take it day by day, hour by hour.
Maybe every time you want to visit a prostitute, try to somehow think of your wife and instead do something which can contribute to a good feeling around the house, even if it is simple as taking out the rubbish or cleaning one room?
The diversion may help cool your lust for a bit.
Then the lust may well return even stronger but ignore it, be prepared for this, know that it is a trick.
The reason I thought about visiting a prostitute was because I was thinking of my wife!

Re: GYE Can Close Down (don't tell Guard)
Start playing `Tetris` to get rid of craving
Last Updated: Sunday, August 16, 2015 - 21:09
Washington DC: Want to get rid of cravings for drugs, food...? Well it's time to start playing Tetris as a new study reveals that playing the puzzle game can weaken your desire.
Jackie Andrade of the Plymouth University said that playing Tetris decreased craving strength for drugs, food, and other activities from 70 percent to 56 percent.
Andrade said that playing a visually interesting game, like Tetris, occupied the mental processes that support desires, adding that it was hard to imagine something vividly and play Tetris at the same time.
In the study, 31 undergraduates, aged 18-27, were prompted seven times a day via text message to report on any cravings they were feeling.
Fifteen members of the group were required to play Tetris on an iPod for three minutes, before reporting their craving levels. Craving was recorded in 30 percent of the occasions, most commonly for food and non-alcoholic drinks, which were reported on nearly two-thirds of those occasions.
The study found that twenty-one percent of cravings were for substances categorised as drugs, including coffee, cigarettes, wine and beer, and 16 percent were for miscellaneous activities such as sleeping, playing videogames, socialising with friends, and sexual intercourse. Food cravings tended to be slightly weaker than those in the other categories.
Andrade said that as a support tool, Tetris could help people manage their cravings in their daily lives and over extended time periods.
The study is published in the journal Addictive Behaviors.
