19 year old man working on myself

Hey everyone. I am a 19 year old who is currently 5 days clean. I've tried a reboot about 3 months ago and was successful for about 3 weeks. I had very frequent erections after about a week and a half off porn and masturbation. I was also having good sex. Anyways, I recently split with my girlfriend who was also my first. Felt a bit down but not too bad because I think our split had been a imminent for a long time. I figured now would be a good time to get rid of unhealthy habits and decided to kick porn and masturbation. I started watching soft core porn when I was about 15 after a girl made me orgasm for the first time. Back then I could get hard in the morning and that thing would still be up there around lunch time LOL. Then I started watching stuff with actual sex around 17 and was lucky enough to never get into anything too specific or hard core. My biggest problem has always been if I wank it once then I feel an urge to wank it 2 or 3 more times that day. So I'd say I'm more a compulsive wanker then porn user. That being said, I've been off both for 9 days and am aiming for 90.
On Wednesday I met a pretty attractive woman while out dancing (I dance salsa and bachata. I remember getting pretty hard while we were dancing, however, I took her out for a drink last night and felt almost like I was in a flatline. Wondering if anyone else has experienced flat lines that come and go? I masturbated today and wondering if I should restart the reboot since I initially set out not to masturbate as well? Has anyone else found their focus to be really bad during a reboot? I feel as if I can't focus on anything, maybe its just that I have more time on my hands because I would usually wank it? My bad for all these questions but I am pretty new to the process. Best of luck to everyone else doing it.

At Day 11. Have jacked off twice since starting the reboot but no porn. Gonna try and stay away from masturbating as much as I can, but I do think it's much better for you without porn.

Relapsed at day 14 and then again at day 16. I still think this its good progress. I?m traveling into Europe in a week so I?m going to try and distract myself with sightseeing and see if I can get to 1 month this time around. Best of luck to everyone else doing this!
 
My focus and my life has improved alot since I started my reboot
I started 40 days+ ago and didn't jack off or watch porn since and I've been on a flatline since day 1
The quickest way to recover is to not jack off at all
But you're young and not into hardcore stuff or anything so I think it should go pretty well for you

Stay strong and stay soft, let your dick rest
