Is there no hope?

I attempted to see if I could go past 3 days but it seems I'm stuck on it (can't go more than three). I'm feeling extremely hopeless. I'm wanting to cure my PIED within 20 or so days before I see my long distance girlfriend but knowing how things are I feel as if our relationship is going to end for this has been the most difficult thing in it. Aside from the distance. I know this is going to take me more than 30 days to cure and slowly but surely my relapses are not becoming as repetitive as they used to be. I'm becoming more sensitive "downtown" and I'm noticing improvements but at the same time, I feel like I'm still not going to be up to par. During times like these where the addiction is holding you back, what do you do?
 
What I do, is that I look at the purpose that made me start. If you set a goal, then you'll fight to achieve it. You have to always have that goal in your mind, so you know what you're fighting for. If your goal is that the relationship with your girlfriend has to stay, and you have to fight for it, then achieve it bro. SET A GOAL, write it somewhere. Use blockers, P blockers. Use the HALTS method.
 
I agree, if you really care about your relationship and it is important to you then this is your goal that you want to achieve. Look in the mirror and say it out loud that if you don't stop you might lose it and try to realise that fact. Good luck!
 
Thank you, guys. I was under a lot of stress yesterday but I'm going to keep going for this. If I really want this, I will achieve it. Willpower is the secret to winning if I've learned anything. I'm going to keep pushing.
 
Hey man I am in your shoes right now. I know what it feels like. I have been battling the reset button for a year and a half now. This is what I do.

FIRST bring the battle to it. You have to be ready to fight harsh urges even if they make you want to throw up because your stressed. Yes I have been at that point. Always say no and keep saying no.

SECOND delete everything you own that could set any triggers or where you get your source of porn.

THIRD think about this. Now I dont have a girlfriend but I am quitting because I dont want to deal with the shame and guilt so I can actually go and talk to a girl. Porn makes you want to have sex more and girls dont like that. In fact some men have even reported that real sex wasnt satisfying enough after watching porn. Everything you see in porn is fake. All of it. Paid actors getting paid to do stuff. Think about how many videos are on there of women getting pounded by dudes without condoms. Just imagine the deseases that spread because of that. Eww.

FINALLY NEVER GIVE UP. You can do this bro.

As fucked up as it sounds, the recent suicide of a pornstar I used to enjoy reminded how fucked up that industry is... I found this post somewhere after hitting the relapse button that was just all about how every girl, guy, director... They all have a life like you and me... No different. And just getting more and more into that fact as the post went on it made me realize how fake all of that is... Like I myself have been lied to all my life.
