Improving but not quite there

Hey, I'm new to this sub. 3-4 years back I used porn to a very unhealthy degree. More recently I've dialed it back quite a bit. But now I'm in a loving, committed relationship and because of that I want to quit completely. She and I have discussed this issue before. It was a tough time when she found out because not only is she uncomfortable with me viewing porn, but I had promised her I wouldn't. She was obviously distraught, but after a few days of things being tense, she showed me forgiveness. I couldn't be more grateful to her.

Since that conversation, my habits have improved just a little bit:

I look up sexual content less often

When I do get the urge, it's normally tamer content (I still don't feel good about it)

I don't masturbate to porn, I use pictures of my partner. This is my way of "slamming on the brakes". I'd rather not come anywhere near an accident though.

This post was mostly meant to clear up a little bit of anxiety I've had about this whole situation. I may or may not continue posting to keep track of progress and continue improving. If you have any advice or tips feel free to let me know.
