Now this sounds weird, I know. I am a teenager and a pretty good Yeshiva guy. I like learning and growing and Jewish music and doing chessed and stuff, buy I have been watching porn and masturbating since I was 12 (5 years).
So what works for me?
Whenever I am in Yeshiva I am pretty good. I think the reasons are:
1. I am always around other guys.
2. There is always something to do.
3. Learning is much easier (The Beis Medrash is so close!)
4. I have a set learning schedule (especially gemara bi'iyun!)

Now for the weird part about this. I once read in a sefer that anyone who says parshas kitores with the proper kavannah is zocheh to have all the gezeiros on him for that day uprooted! So I say kitores everyday. In fact, one day when I was home I wasn't able to say kitores and I fell. (I have fallen other times even on days I said kitores but it was a little different then.) So I would recommend looking into the power of these korbanos that us Ashkenazim don't think we have to say. (BTW the Rama says to say it after shacharis...)

Comment please! I would leave to read what you guys think about this.
Hashem is close to all those who call out to Him in sincerity. (Ashrei)

My comment is simply "Welcome."

Stick around here; perhaps there is what to learn here.
