I think you shouldnt promise yourself not to sin again for entire life. Because then you may encounter very strong tempation and you fall and then you will feel 100% worse if you didnt promise that.
Think of it like that: Im not gonna do it now. Im not gonna do it for a day. If a day passes, you will win a small battle. Then you arent gonna do it for the next day. Again victory? Continue on this path.
You fell? Dont condemn yourself. You are still worthy in God’s eyes. Think what caused you to fall and overcome it next time.

But that’s precisely my problem, I have been scared to make resolutions because I’ve been scared of falling and failing to keep my promises. I figured that if I just make this leap of Faith and lean on God’s grace I would finally be free of this. I don’t really see much of difference between doing it for one more day vs doing it never again, if I make an effort to do it for just one more day, I’ll just be more anxious about the next day, and I feel like I’m leaving myself open to offending God the day after today.
 
So maybe dont promise anything? Live now and trust God. Train yourself. Remember that God is above your problems. You really must want it. I know something. My last temptation was so hard that I thought Im not gonna overcome it. But I did it. I mean I wanted to win. Jesus did everything else. My only effort is to really want. I cant overcome it by myself so I must really want. Not only in your mind but physically. Get up at night, hit yourself, place any part of your body into cold water.
I know that you hate what you did in the past. But its only the past. You cant change it. You live now. Trust me, I have this problem too. It became so addictive that I was looking for more sophisticaced materials. You know why? Because I knew the previous ones. Its shameful. I knew almost every new video. When I see it now, its disgusting.
