That's exactly how I got started with struggling with masturbation. When I first dialed the number by mistake I was confused and shocked. I was fairly young and did not know what to make of it. 

The thing that worked for me was the 90 days challenge and then working to remain clean. I did have ups and downs from thereon, especially when I was feeling down, but that is to be expected.

Wellcome to GYE!
Its wornderfull that you already went for 120 days clean! That means you know that you have the strength to get it done! 
Your brain knows that its possible to go long periods without this, so keep it up. 
Please explain a bit more what your problem is, is t Porn or Masturbation, both? Do you have easy access to internet? Filters? 
Sometimes its more a logistical problem that you can get fixed and you can move on....

hello ephraimliberman. welcome to the forums!

i'm sorry to hear you went through an unfortunate slope we're all too familiar with. it's an industry of billions of dollars that's trying to get us.
kudos to you for being strong and checking off all the right boxes moving forward: come to gye, check. connect w someone to help you, double check. stayed clean for a boatload of days triple check. and most importantly you checked off the stand up and wash off the bruises after you fall box.

i'm giving you a heartfelt bracha that your chasuna should be the biggest check of all, you should be zoiche to build a bayis neeman b'yisroel and continue to grow untill moshiach comes!
