I'm close to 200 days, but I feel I can provide some feedback.
For me it was responding to a certain circumstances that occured, were recognized and I used them to my advantage.
I always needed a strong push to start another long streak. This time it was a new relationship that started "getting serious" sexually right before I went for a three months long trip abroad alone, without her.
This was an opportunity because of a number of things:
1) I would be in a relationship, so hooking up with local or travelling girls would be off the table
2) I would be in Central America having adventures and time of my life so I'd have so many stimuli I wouldn't even need additional stimulation.
All in all it was the perfect opportunity to go full hard mode. I wouldn't get bored and sit on the internet or MO before bed (I'm not that kind of a hostel guest...). I wouldn't go to Tinder.
I made a promise to myself I would not touch my dick in any circumstances unless cleaning or peeing and so it began... And it was surprisingly easy. After a month I added some kegel exercise.
After three months I went back to my country, to my GF and to regular sex. And although I still use sildenafil pills I'm not going back to porn and I'm not giving up.
Hope you can use my experience
Cheers!

For me it was an overwhelming drive never to experience the crushing defeat and subsequent withdrawal symptoms that comes after a relapse. It’s just totally not worth it. I realized it’s not something I ever need in my life again, I’ll never let porn back into my life. Also reflecting on all the things porn took away from me gave me motivation. A sense of self disgust with what you’re doing when engaging with porn, I thought to myself “what a pathetic fucking loser I was wasting all that time and destroying my brain with that shit, and for what?!”
There is absolutely nothing good that can come from porn. Period.
