I struggled with porn for awhile, it was a contributing factor to me becoming a 38 year old virgin. It's evil, I never realised how destructive it was, until I had terrible PIED, self worth issues in regards to feeling not good enough for girls, out of my league, fear surrounding them as a result, and felt unable to bond "normally" with girls like they were different creatures even. All apparently things that can be imprinted with porn watching over time. Insanely self destructive...but I had no idea of the issues behind it. Most people don't, it's terrible what it does to you under the surface...
I've dealt with porn, and DID deal with a much more addictive to me, masturbation addiction. I found the porn much easier to kick than the masturbation, surprisingly. The masturbation addiction came back after a huge 450+ day streak of nofap, while on a program here. I listened to the Stop Masturbating sub a second time, as it got rid of the habit for me the first time around for that streak. And now, it has seemingly rid myself of the addiction this time around, I hope it sticks. Day 55 of nofap hard mode. Starting to see signs of the PIED improving, among some other things. This will take time though, especially since I'm a virgin and porn and masturbation were my only sexual outlets my whole life, unfortunately...so a lot of work to do to repair this and make me "normal".
I've used both programs, the OPA and SM subs. Stick to it, even if you have to use just one at a time. I'd choose the porn one first, as you have. Porn is more destructive of the two, clearly. The quicker you get healing from that, the quicker your life can begin.
Stick with it. Read YourBrainOnPorn.com if you haven't already to keep you motivated. Some fantastic videos Dr. Wilson has there too. You can break this. I believe in you. Your future self depends on you now.
