Difficulty as I near the end

I said about six weeks ago that I was going to give up PM for Lent, and now that Lent is almost at an end, I'm feeling real pressure to masturbate. I'll admit, though, that these urges began a few days ago when I heard a news story about the benefits of masturbation in preventing prostate cancer. I was curious about the story so I Googled the topic and found several reputable medical websites touting this information. At that point I started thinking that maybe it was okay if I masturbated once in a while for these health reasons. But then I started wondering if I could limit myself to "once in a while." After all, probably due in part that my wife and I no longer have a sex life and in part due to my anxious nature, I do tend to masturbate whenever I have some free time on my hands, pun not intended. If I'm at home by myself, which is quite often since I work part-time, and I'm not busy with something else, I tend to find myself lying on the bed or on the bathroom floor taking care of myself. And although I don't always masturbate to porn, I had been increasingly using porn to substitute for an absent wife.

I want to make it through Lent without giving in to PM, with the hopes that I can also make it through the Easter season as well. That'll give me nearly 90 days of rebooting that I can be grateful for. I just ask for your prayers that I can find the God-given strength to continue down the path of recovery. And I'll keep you in my prayers as well as we approach the great celebration of Easter. Thank you.
