Hey,
Looks like your struggles are real bad. But the struggle is 'the path'. I'm sure you'll pass this phase, if not soon.
Few tips:
Take deep breaths whenever you get images of pornography in your head.
Keep working and focus on your primary goal.
Do not edge. It doesn't serve the purpose of quitting PMO. Plus it adds a new pain above your pelvic region and further causes pain at the muscles near the anus.

I have not achieved 90 day retention target till date. But came closer to it. The more you self control your thoughts, the greater control you'll achieve and vice versa. This was my major take away and hope it helps you too!
Cheers!!

You are going through withdrawal. If you give up an addiction, it will never run smoothly, you will get symptoms. This is one of those symptoms you are describing. It's actually healing. I would recommend you to strengthen your inner self in this phase. That is your best investment in not relapsing. Try with all your might to put out the sexual thoughts like a cigarette and not play with them. It will only lead you back to masturbation. And you need to restructure your inner self. That means rewiring your thoughts. Write down the thoughts that come to you during this phase. Afterwards, you should transform these thoughts: "The addiction is too big, I will fall off the wagon sooner or later!". Response: "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger, pleasure is not so important to me, but my freedom is." Write down all the thoughts that hinder you in your healing process and make a response to them. In this way, a safety system is implanted in you. If you now repeat and read these things for weeks and months, your subconscious will transform itself and work not against you but for you.
