Need some motivation

So I’ve been trying to quit porn for about 3 months now and it’s been an up and down rollercoaster with more downs than ups. I lost the battle again today which has been a common theme as of late. As my best my longest streak was 11 days which I ultimately lost. The main issue is my sex is incredibly high as a 21 year old man and my girlfriend and I have been having some issues in the bedroom. Switching between birth controls and temporarily losing that spark we once had in our honeymoon phase has really been hard to navigate and has led me to porn a lot. I’m also trying very hard to grow in my faith and excel as a Christian and pornography is something that’s holding me back. I always find these little stints where I am strong and super motivated to quit porn entirely and then there’s stints like the one I’m currently in where I’m very weak and vulnerable to porn. I need some motivation and some external opinions from guys who have hopefully been in the same or similar positions who could potentially give me some insight? Hope you all are doing great in your journey and would love to hear from some of you guys!

P.s. To clarify: Improve by 1% every day

Motivation is crap. It's fleeting and very temporary. Today most modern men believe be MUST first have motivation, that great feeling, before we take on a grand project. No man. As a person who waited 8 years, with little burst of motivation, it ain't a long term solution. Honestly, the break though moment for me was the 1% rule. You have all the reason in the world to try this, your girlfriend and relationship with God. So now, improve literally by just 1%. If you watch porn twice a day, just do it once. You do it around 6pm, go one hour over before doing it. Then go from video to images, then images to just your mind. You get the idea man. With such a problem, you just can't jump from hot straight to cold. Ease into it. Remember, literally just 1%, a small improvement, and carry that growth to the next days. For me: even though I might have an urge, my mind literally goes: "We don't do that anymore, go to sleep". Do it man, screw motivation - have drive instead
