Stopped masturbating and doing well

I just thought I’d throw out my own personal experience. Over the last year I had been having a hard time making any real progress and kept falling back into it. Recently though, since about a month ago, I’ve been able to stay clean and put really good practices in place. I know there’s a lot of debate in this group about whether you should masturbate or not and I personally have had long streaks where I was masturbating it seems to have helped me by stopping. I think I had my own addiction/compulsion issues with masturbation and don’t think I was using it in a healthy way. Just my personal experience and maybe it will speak to someone else.
