Long and drawn out urges?

Anyone know what to do when you experience an urge that isn’t intense but just lingers in the back of your mind for days or weeks, slowly wearing you down?

That’s the hardest one for me because even though I’m fighting it off, it’s slowly weakening me while I am fighting it because it’s not going away.

 

The only times I’ve been successful are when I’ve completely shut out any thought of porn from my mind. And any inkling of an idea to use porn just gets canceled immediately as if it never occurred to me. So the process of a thought snowballing larger and larger in the back of my mind never even starts. But it’s hard to reach that state. I need a way to stop the process of snowballing once it starts. And I haven’t found that yet.
