A distraction in the moment

I relapsed… Managed not even 3 days and then suddenly the thought crept into my mind about watching a certain pornstar and before i knew it i was searching on my computer…

Does anyone have any ways of distracting yourself in those moments when your mind is then so focused on something? Almost a way of throwing a bucket of ice water over your brain like “wake up, snap out of it”. Feeling like i need some better ways to combat this because as much as i like seeing the timer and smaller goals i need something to do in that moment to change the pattern of thought

For myself my porn problem has its roots in deeper issues related to intimacy dysfunction, pride, and entitlement, so to tackle the porn I had to dig into those - and to tackle those, I had to visit a sex addiction clinic in my city.

Recently I joined an SA (Sexaholics Anonymous) group to dig deep into myself, and to build bonds of accountability. I just started in that group. I have a significant journey ahead but I am looking forward to it.
