Please pray if you can so that I overcome it…its really bothering me that Ive had been struggling with this sin for quite a time now
 
I will remember you in my prayers today.

Know that this type of sin can be extraordinarily hard to break. I do not say this to discourage you, but to let you know that unfortunately not all sinful attachments can be broken overnight. Masturbation usually becomes an addictive habit over time and so it will take time to end this habit.

I would suggest the following to help you:

Avoid the occasions for sin whenever possible.
Pray the rosary daily.
Exercise daily (this can help relieve stress).
Go to confession often and be honest about your struggles.
If possible go to Mass daily and receive our Lord if you are able.
If you can’t make daily Mass, Eucharistic Adoration is another good spiritual weapon.
Develop a devotion to the Blessed Mother and to Saint Michael the Archangel.
Find a support group or someone who you can confide in to help you in this struggle.

Also, there is a lot of good Catholic material out there for people who are struggling with sexual sins. Christopher West and Jason Evert are just two authors/speakers who specialize in helping people in their struggle for purity.
 
I know how you feel Im going through this process to, pray the rosary daily it helps me, and ill make sure to pray for you
 
Here is a prayer for you…

O Lord Jesus Christ,

Out of love You died and rose for me and gave me the Holy Spirit. In His light and through the prayers of your Holy Mother, I ask You to proclaim the Gospel of Your love in my heart and in my life today. I renounce an attachment to sin, and I rebuke in Your Name every spirit of evil and disorder.

Amen.
 
May you fill your mind with good things (spiritual and scriptural reading, Catholic films, constant prayers to God, etc.) and keep away from all occassions of sin (bad company, bad tv, bad literature, and bad films). May you find a holy priest to help you break from your addiction. May he offer you spiritual direction on a regular basis so you can grow stronger spiritually. Most importantly, may the Lord help you to focus all your will on loving him and doing his will, because this, along with a highly sacramental life, is what should set you free. Amen.
 
I am going through this as well. I shall offer three Our Fathers and Hail Marys for you.

You might think it strange, but daily or mostly-daily cold showers with prayer can work wonders to help combat this, along with the other advice in this thread.
 
Thank you brothers I really appreciate your prayers, ill pray for you all too = )
 
Our Father, which art in Heaven
Hollowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven

Give us this day, our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us

Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
Amen
