that isn't a silly reason to stop at all!
i'm not Muslim, i'm Christian, but that played into my decision to stop and how i try to resist and all that. for me, the youth pastor at my church was really helpful and supportive. i don't know if theres someone that could help you through in that sort of way.... i think finding help from people in that sort of situation really depends on their temperment and beleifs though. cause i know that if i had asked a priest from where i went before, it would've been a disaster.
when i'm upset or having an urge it can be helpful to reread my favorite verses, or listen to my music that is God focused and all that. the other thing i've done once is picked an applicable verse and worked really hard at turning it into some sort of thing that i could put on the wall of my room. or on the inside of my binders. places like that. its probably a bit odd, since i now have a couple different copies of the same verse posted around my room in various forms, but it working on them helps me to concentrate on what they mean, and then i have them to remind me.
have you taken a look on the fun and distractions page... there is a long list of distractions that is stickied at the top, and you might get ideas from there.
