Addicts don't get tired or they would not be addicts. Are you really an addict?. If you are its biologically based and self discipline will not be enough. You need your addiction to release the chemicals which your brain craves. People can become addicted to anything and exactly how the brain becomes so wired is extremely complicated. Some brains are addicted to suffering. You need to find out what your really getting out of the porn and then get that same thing but not from the porn. Usually addictions are related to a problem with dopamine in the brain, maybe antidepressants will help. Its necessary to work from both ends at once though and try to change the way you think about things. Focus on positive things and not on overcoming negative things. Being ashamed is a sign that you are stuck in the negative and you are trying to overcome it, which will not work, instead of focusing on how nice it would feel to not have the addiction.
