I bet you before you engaged in self-harm (masturbation), you were probably thinking about it. And you were thinking about it because you allowed impure images into your mind. So there are 2 things you have to accomplish.
custody of the eyes -- avoid movies, TV shows, environments (beach with babes in bikinis), and when you do encounter them, pull your eyes away from them so they do not pollute the Temple of the Holy Spirit which is your body.
grace of forgetfulness -- ask God to erase and neutralize the dirty images already in your brain.
And if you get those things down, then you will be able to take control of your imagination and not allow the demons to pull you into impurity.
