They say that viewing pornography releases some of the same chemicals into your brain as heroin does. Moreover, viewing pornography is a stress-coping mechanism. The pornography has ingratiated itself into your spiritual and neurological functions, and to really get away from it you're going to have to detoxify. It's going to take at least a couple of months, maybe longer. At times you may have to be physically restrained in one way or another from going after it (install internet filters for which you don't know the password; stay with friends/family members; etc). That's why it's so important to get a close friend involved with your struggle--you need someone who you can call at 2:30 in the morning when you can't sleep and the computer's down the stairs . . . and who will, if necessary, drive over to your house and bang on your door until you let them in, and sit up with you until you're able to drift off to sleep.

It will be pure Hell. But yes, things will get easier eventually.
