Ok… So how does one fight masturbation? Sometimes, I’m able to abstain for days, the longest I managed was only 8 days. But I just keep falling and falling. What do you suggest I can do?
 
Lent is a great opportunity to “purify” yourself before the big Easter celebration.
What if you have 4 things to focus on this lent?
One prayer (i.e. rosary every day), one fasting (i.e. no candy), one almsgiving (i.e. doing something good for the society/family, charity) and no masturbation.
Promise yourself to never look up pictures/videos on the Internet that triggers you.

Think of Jesus and the sufferings he went through for YOUR sake. You can do 40 days. And after that, you won’t see any reason at all to masturbate again, believe me.

Let Ash Wednesday be a new start. Will pray for you.
 
Ok, perhaps this is a basic question but… Can you drink alcohol while fasting?
 
Giving up alcohol is one thing to concider for lent, but you don’t have to, of course.
You shouldn’t drink on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday though

Here’s a suggestion for you:

KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF and let the urge pass. Simple as that!
 
Many things are involved here. Your age, are you expecting to marry ?
i’m very sure you are fighting
a demon & it’s dominating you now.
If you resist solely on own unaided effort, failure is certain.
You will have to overcome it to be freed, time won’t really diminish it
By COMPLETELY depending on Jesus & Mary & never
losing communion with them, rejecting it is possible.

…2Cor: 12:7

Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me-- to keep me from exalting myself!
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

You MUST fight it the right way

This may seem strange, but I must say from experience
that frequent OVER-EATING will make you HORNY
Natural food doesn’t give grace & should be minimized imo
 
obstinacy in sin is a sin against the holy spirit, keep sinning, there will be more more pardons
