Porn can be literally addictive, the same as cigarettes, drugs or alcohol. Therefore you need to treat it like an addiction. Trying to simply will yourself out of it isn't often successful.
Sometimes educating yourself on the facts of porn can be an aid to overcoming it.
One major one is that the porn industry is tied in to the world human sex trafficking organizations. These are the ones that kidnap or trick mostly women, but also lots of young children and teens, to be sold or rented as sex slaves.
These people can be chained up and forced to have sex, and even treated violently, some to the point of torture. So that the people that "own" them can make money. This can go as low in age as babies. That's what porn supports. Also some porn is made using these sex slaves.
For porn itself and how it behaves behind the scenes, not always much better.
One common tactic is advertising for modeling shoots. Often college age girls will show up, usually flying to a city they don't know, just to find out these men are actually making porn.
They'll give her drugs to make her easier to control and manipulate, start a photoshoot like normal. Gradually convince/pressure her into taking nudes photos. Often times they're so fearful, because there are always big, scary looking men to intimidate them into compliance.
Once those are taken they tell her she needs to film herself having sex with one of the men in the room. And if she refuses they blackmail her with the nudes photos they just took. Threatening to release them to her friends and family. Some give in at this point. Those that don't may be threatened physically or even hit.
When they give in what basically occurs is rape. She's expected to show compliance and enjoyment on screen. Then afterwards film a video stating that her part in the video was her own will, and that she was not coerced in any way to be in it. Then they kick them out of the room, sometimes days later, and post her videos on porn sites.

They show evidences of the negative effects of porn, share the testimonies of former porn workers, prostitutes, sex trafficked individuals, etc... into what really goes on behind the scenes. Usually sharing their personal experiences. It can add quite a bit of motivation to overcome this addiction when you learn how evil the industry is, besides the obvious.
Of course that's only one helpful component and not a fix. So unless God decides to directly intervene and free you, then you will have to be active in your attempts to overcome this. Educate yourself on the matter.
One thing I've learned is when having something to overcome, learn more about it. Learn what's true and what's not. It's great ammunition in your fight.
