God is stronger than this.
You deserve to feel guilty. Whenever you look for this, you are choosing the things of death instead of life. Things that are addictive, and degrading to human beings, let Satan and death into our lives.
In my failing human condition, I, and the world will judge you and be disgusted with you, but God is unfailing, and loves you even through the most depraved of sin. Why? He examines your heart and soul, and knows what your purpose is. By looking for freedom, God will certainly reward you.
He can lift you out of hell. There is strength in admitting that evil is dwelling in us, and so we should drive it out with God, who brings us purpose, and destroys any addiction.
With a habit as bad as this one, is it not worth it to make difficult sacrifices for the sake of trying to be free? Faith is not an easy journey, it's a journey of sacrifice. But as an individual of character, and of love and purpose, you love those who you live life to serve, and so you should not quit until every evil and creeping thing is gone from your life. Those things that steal from you (and the people around you)
I truly believe that if you continue taking an active approach to this challenge, and life, that you will be saved from all control and evil that this brings.
Using our weapons
God's spirit is within you now, and you have some weapons to destroy everything evil that comes from this habit in your life.
Prayer. You can pray for anything, don't limit what you can achieve by asking for God's help! If it's a good and honest thing you want, you should believe it will be done! When it's hard to pray, try saying the shortest and best prayer: "God help" for God knows what you want.
I keep scripture with me like a weapon, I like to keep small verses in my mind and think about them when I feel death creeping in.
Also, acknowledging Satan and evil is truly freeing. When you acknowledge that the temptations are from Satan, who is crafty and hateful, you are able to leave your body momentarily and examine the situation. It becomes clear, you are stronger than this, through God who loves you and gives you purpose! It can also be helpful to just mock Satan, and have ready something to do that aligns with your life purpose. If only we could always think this clearly!
You are not the same anymore
There is no use anymore, in describing or thinking of yourself as someone who is addicted to porn, or child porn. That belief brings you down, and keeps you dead.
You are new, your mind is reformed and protected by the God of the universe, who loves and cares for you.
Scripture about addiction
“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything.
1 Corinthians 6:12
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Scripture about fear and guilt
"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. "
1 John 4:18
2 Corinthians 5:7
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
John 10:10

By the way, if you are just getting started on your journey with God/Christ:
Don't be afraid! Be excited to learn and find purpose this way!
I recommend reading the Bible from the beginning of Genesis, as far as you can go before it gets difficult, and then going to the New Testament and reading the gospel according to Matthew, and onwards. It's so cool, there's lots of prophesies of Jesus even in Genesis! I also recommend saying a fully honest prayer that involves "God examine my heart" and asking for help. Pray in any way that's easy for you at first. What matters is that you are seeking God, the specific habits don't matter that much yet. This is an exciting thing and I am happy for you!!
The Bible is a good way to know God, but not the only way. The thing is that we believe in a truly loving and good God, and that God will reveal themself if you desire them.
You can pray for all kinds of things! You can pray for purpose, and you can pray for things that seem impossible. You are trusting in the strongest and most loving God!!
I want to share this joy with you with these few words. I trust that God will help you perfectly.
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."
Matt 7:7-8
