Welcome! Verry nice to meeet you!
Typically masturbation doesn't happen in a vacuum.
It's part of a bigger picture of repetitive lusting in its many forms.
For me, I discovered that I am addicted to lust and lusting.
After a day (or half a day) of lusting, I need to open the release valve -- masturbation.
I find that now that I give up lusting, by repetitively verbally surrendering my lust, my right to lust, to Hashem, and asking Him to take it from me today, and avoiding all lustful stimuli by guarding my eyes and my mind, I can remain sober one day at a time.
